I just hope they have a really racist logo

i hope it's looks vaguely arabic (cloth wrapped around head, curved swords, maybe riding a camel) so they get blamed by uptight people for cultural appropriation and also yelled at by lovely old white people for being ISIS-sympathizers

it's the best possible outcome imo

edit: to your end, the benevolent creator seems militaristic and out-of-touch enough to push for something that's crusade-themed. that could also be really good

sinbin, when you're handing over that banner with the 12 fake signatures you wrote yourself, tell the creator to name the team the neon knights

i can't wait to hear what sinbin will have to say about the inevitable very bad name

do we get to find out the very bad color scheme tonight too, or we have to wait a few months for another very bad press conference?

Buffalo's decisions of note:
Ennis is protected, which is bad
Carrier is exposed, which is bad (though he almost certainly won't get picked)
Nathan Beaulieu is protected, which is good
Zack Bogosian is exposed, which is good
Ullmark is exposed, which is expected.

paging that guy that said i was stupid to want to leave bogosian exposed

Wonder if vegas goes for Ullmark from the Sabres. He's supposed to be pretty promising, right?

Yeah, he's probably the 2nd most-likely person to be chosen in my opinion. I think Vegas ultimately chooses Moulson due to the extremely close family relationship with McPhee (Matt Moulson's son is literally named George after George McPhee, who also happens to be the godfather of his son as well) and the fact that he's an extremely good locker room guy and potential captain. He'll probably continue to pot about 20 goals per year for the next couple years as well.

fwiw, my top four most likely candidates to be chosen are 1) moulson, 2) ullmark, 3) bogosian, 4) carrier

if all the reports are true, this is what vegas currently has:



they've reached the cap floor easily, and you can add about 9ish million from RFAs and UFAs

carrier is the one guy i really didn't want them to take so naturally he's vegas' choice. it's ok though at least we protected tyler ennis!

i know i shouldn't be upset that a guy with 8 career nhl points was drafted off the sabres, but i'm actually really upset anyways

tyler ennis, who has more concussions than fingers and who makes 4.6 million dollars for the next two years, was protected over a cost-controlled forward with you know, a future

if carrier pots 20 goals in the next two season i'm going to completely lose my mind
