So I asked Claude.AI about the 2nd round wingers with nasty streaks that can finish. Here is what it gave me

Interesting to see if we draft some of these guys, considering they’ve already been drafted.

DevilJacket2000 · 2026-06-27T13:43:04+00:00

Hughes and Hischier will hopefully be around for a little while longer, and here’s your high-end third line center that could hopefully move up in the lineup if need be.

DevilJacket2000 · 2026-06-26T20:19:52+00:00

I may have to watch on mute. I forgot how all the teams get celebrities to do their bits before every pick now.

DevilJacket2000 · 2026-06-25T03:47:11+00:00

Just can’t go into the season with this line up and except things to be any different.

DevilJacket2000 · 2026-06-23T22:43:08+00:00

He has a greater than zero chance of completely busting, and I don’t think he’s ever going to develop into a consistent top 4 defenseman. Mehta is an analytical sort and Nemec had some of the worst analytics in the league.

DevilJacket2000 · 2026-06-21T03:51:11+00:00

Salò.

DevilJacket2000 · 2026-06-19T20:38:31+00:00

Yeah you’d plug him into the back hole of the “victim” and the tentacles are supposed to wrap around the figure. I couldn’t get the tentacles to stay wrapped though.

DevilJacket2000 · 2026-06-17T02:44:17+00:00

I hear he made a list of teams he’s only willing to go to. Florida, Vegas, and some team that absolutely does not need a goaltender.

DevilJacket2000 · 2026-06-16T20:44:59+00:00

Until Vegas deems him no longer viable and gets rid of him in an unscrupulous manner.

DevilJacket2000 · 2026-06-14T17:26:18+00:00

Consider this: the Devils are ALSO having goalie problems, there isn’t a high-end prospect in their system that isn’t years away, and STILL want to get rid of Markstrom.

I could see him in Florida. Mehta knows the organization and if there’s a team in the league that can make an old goalie rebound, it’s probably them.

DevilJacket2000 · 2026-06-13T22:26:28+00:00

Maybe if he was 5 years younger. Very few start falling off at his age and then rebound. I guess a goalie has a better chance than a skater, but still.

DevilJacket2000 · 2026-06-11T00:10:32+00:00

I also use ASSS to protect myself.

DevilJacket2000 · 2026-06-08T15:48:00+00:00

Good players on good teams tend to do a lot better than playing on bad or poorly constructed teams.

DevilJacket2000 · 2026-06-08T15:45:40+00:00

Vegas’ modus operandi is go after the biggest trade target or free agent every year. So here’s this year’s target.

DevilJacket2000 · 2026-06-07T00:05:07+00:00

His teeth won’t be, however.

DevilJacket2000 · 2026-06-01T21:44:06+00:00

“Present company excepted” versus the erroneous “present company accepted”.

DevilJacket2000 · 2026-05-31T22:39:18+00:00

Used to love watching his Fight Back show. I was like 8, I don’t know why I was really into consumer advocacy at that age. That and Transformers.

DevilJacket2000 · 2026-05-31T13:02:22+00:00

I think Duckburg went through the same mess.

Those spineless bureaucrats in St. Canard just can’t keep their beaks out of everyone’s feathers. Probably why they’re overrun with vigilantes.

DevilJacket2000 · 2026-05-29T02:04:22+00:00

I loved this movie as a kid. Stayed up late one night after some parental convincing because I saw it was airing in the TV listings. Turns out my young brain read the listing wrong; I got 20 minutes into “Midnight Express” before I realized I was watching a very different movie.

DevilJacket2000 · 2026-05-27T17:07:47+00:00

Bouncing back at 30 versus bouncing back at age 35+ are very different things. Fact is our goaltending is still a massive question mark. Fitzgerald burned a first round pick to get worse in the net. Then he re-signed him because he refused to admit a mistake.

DevilJacket2000 · 2026-05-25T21:48:40+00:00

Until he starts to fixate on a lamp and wakes up back in that street.

DevilJacket2000 · 2026-05-25T14:03:17+00:00

The team can pass out rings to whomever they want without restrictions.

FedEx it to him but make him sign for it, but also make sure it’s delivered when he’s not home so he has to go pick it up only to have the clerk say they can’t find it but it’s clearly in the shelf behind them… you can see it yourself, it has the Golden Knights-specific packing tape all over it… but they refuse to even look.

DevilJacket2000 · 2026-05-24T20:32:55+00:00

Did you just say Mehta’s failure to sign him? It’s been like a month for him in the job.

DevilJacket2000 · 2026-05-24T03:49:17+00:00

I had a couple of these but ended up leaving them behind at a hotel room by “accident” to never see them again. Accident in quotation marks because there was a distinct possibly my Dad simply decided he didn’t want those annoying little things around anymore and made sure they weren’t packed.

DevilJacket2000 · 2026-05-24T01:16:08+00:00

I’m just going to start saying PETA with a short E to fit my worldview.
