Vegas is much better off using all of these picks to draft and develop. One player isn't going to get them anywhere. Rick Nash cough cough.

I don't remember Columbus getting that much from that trade though.

Not the least bit concerned about the Vegas, dare I write fake news. Patrick s medical would have to be pretty bad for Hexy to move and it would make no sense for McPhee to spend significant assets as an expansion team to take a medical risk. The only question I have at this point is what number. I'm assuming 19 hasn't been retired because Hartwell is still playing.

That is why I want the Flyers to draft Patrick

Ugh I was going to say that. Obviously Nico is a bust because EA ratings don't lie!

I changed Provy's potential to franchise once, after the 16-17 season he was a 96!
- arichardson22

Hahaha I usually leave Provy alone. He always tops out in the 90's for me as long as I keep the team somewhat competitive.

Hearing movement within the Vegas Golden Knights organization. More to come.
- Streit2ThePoint

What kind of movement? Lateral or do you hear a rumbling sound?

I usually deal away all picks after 2019 because I know I'll get bored before I get that far in game.

Same here and I'll even offer all late rounds picks in whatever just so I don't have to resign all these worthless players (for the game). Never ever have I've gotten a player past the 2nd who turned out decent in the game. But yeah can only play so many games or make so many moves before it gets old

Even that deal from Vegas's point of view doesn't make a lot of sense. They should be making as many high end picks as possible to build up their farm system.
- Baxter27

They may really want Brandon boy Nolan Patrick.

As the newest franchise in the NHL gets ready to hit the ice this fall, the Vegas Golden Knights are definitely and quickly taking on a strong Brandon Wheat Kings presence with a heavy dose of Wheat King alumni.

We already have WK owner Kelly McCrimmon serving as assistant GM, then there's former WK coaches Mike Kelly and Bob Lowes in as asst. coach and Director of Player Personnel respectfully, former WK captain Ryan Craig recently retires from playing to join the staff as an asst. coach and finally, the team's first player signing was Reid Duke, who played for the Wheat Kings.

I've just played the game to death already. As most of you know Destiny is my main squeeze. NHL 17 is what I play when I'm too drunk/just want to mindlessly play.

Nico looks like a superstar.

I have a feeling Patrick will be more of a lower-end 1C, above-average 2C.
- Tomahawk

Only time will tell. I, and probably everyone else, would of liked to see more of a sample size of Nico to judge more on consistency.

Has Destiny gotten better?

I bought the game on launch, the edition that came with the PS3 and PS4 version. Played the PS3 version with my sister for an hour, found it dull then installed it on the PS4 and never played it.

Im ecstatic with nolan or nico.

How much more, bigger than a bucket?

- ravishingone

or, it could be that VGK wants to build around Nolan or Nicco as the face of the team, and in order to get Philly to trade the pick, you would have to dole out something stupid like 3 firsts. Could be a win/win for both teams.

Yeah exactly, getting #2 overall brought me back in a little but at this point I'm craving new games. Get a lil stoney bologna and "CHEL." I definetly prematurely gave up on Destiny. I played for 2 months maybe and returned it, thought about getting it digitally when Xbox had huge sale through their store with the expansions but chose Bioshock collection mastered instead.

Is it just me or do the new Adidas jerseys look very standardized?

Depends on who you ask but I play with 4 or 5 of my hometown buddies and we're all pretty good PVP players so it's a lot of fun for me.

I have some issues with the game as well as the sequel coming out in September but some people really don't like it(Mononoke). It's a grinding game. All about the loot baby.

Don't blame you on the Bioshock collection. Those games were so good.

I would be tempted if this were a stronger draft. But this class has been described, more or less, and Nico/Nolan and the rest. If a top-heavy draft, when you're gifted a top-2 pick, you keep it.

Whole lot of #fakenews out there right now.

There isn't anything that Vegas can offer that get the flyers off the #2 pick. Zero. Zilch. Nada.

It would have to be such a lopsided trade that the league would void it. That's how unfair it would have to be. Multiple firsts for multiple years plus prospects plus blood of first born.

They may really want Brandon boy Nolan Patrick.

Hextall is also a Wheat Kings alum, if that means anything.

I would like to revise my stance on U2.

After giving them a fairer listen that ever before, they're a very good band. They have a handful of a dozen or so songs that are really good/great (Where the Streets Have No Name, I Will Follow, Pride, Sunday Bloody Sunday). I still think they're overrated, but I also think that Bono should be President of the Earth.

I think it has a lot to do with the loot grinding that bores me. I get some new gear, feel meh and know I will get something better shortly after.

Then again I also find that what makes gaming not as good as it was in in the past. It's all about the loot for young players now. EA sports games are trash now because of Ultimate Teams because everyone just spends money to get the latest card. CSGO is all about the ugly expensive skin where all the crappy players have to own. Diablo 3 is no Diablo 2. Everything is loot boxes/crates and developers make shallow games because of it.

Here we go again, a member of the Flyers front office liking a player due to ties to his old club...
