They may really want Brandon boy Nolan Patrick.

Yeah I get the connection but still too many eggs in one basket for a team looking to build up.

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.

You need to play Age of Conan, sir.

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

Such an amazing collection. But I will def be checking Destiny 2 out

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.
- arichardson22

If it makes you feel better, I got the Bioshock remastered games for free...because I am a cool PC gamer! I do own all consoles except Xbox One (traded it in when the blu-ray drive stopped working) and the Switch (Zelda runs better on my PC then the Switch), but buying console games is so expensive compared to PC.

If Vegas has all those picks they're crazy not to build the best farm team in the league. If McPhee is throwing all assets into one player he's dooming the franchise right out of the gate.

I played the Conan with enhanced genitals, never played the MMO one. Honestly, never been a big MMO fan because you have to dedicate so much time to one to truly enjoy it. I love all games, my collection is well over 10,000 games now, but I only have so much time to enjoy them all. Being an adult sucks.

It's the only MMO I've ever played. The attraction for me, aside from loving the old REH Conan/Kull books, was that the people actually look like people as opposed to games like WoW and such where you look like fluffy cartoon characters.

As for the time, you don't really. I play for maybe 2 hours at a time on the weekends while my daughter naps and maybe 3-4 hours a night every 2 weeks. Now, I don't have all of the super loot, but it's honestly a fun and very visually appealing game, which is what I like about it. It's free to play (with some limitations that don't bother me) and you can solo about 95% of it. I'd say give it a go and see if you like it.

Does anyone know the schedule for tonight? When do the expansion draft picks get named?

Not sure if it's been released or not. Awards start at 8 so I'm thinking afterwards so they get people to watch their dumb award show

If Hexy is trading #2 it better also have AMac attached and the haul should be something that is so out of whack the league is going to try to void it.

Sounds decent, I will add it to my steam. Thanks for the recommendation.

Actually I lied, I do play an MMO game every once in awhile that is similar to the experience you just said, Elder Scrolls Online. The small amount of time I played it was enjoyable and it was something I can do at my own pace. I own WoW, except for the last expansion, but have yet to install it once. I think I got the game and all expansions for $4 retail. The other MMO I play, I don't really consider it a normal MMO, is Star Citizen. It's a buggy hot mess, but incredibly fun with realistic flying mechanics and how they try to emulate real life space physics.

If they are smart they space them out throughout the show so as to make people stay tuned in.

- dragonoffrost

Agreed. If they trade #2, it better have to go to arbitration ala Lindros.

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.
- StepfordSam

Here's what it would take for me to make the deal

To LV: they must take Read, Weise or AMac in the exp draft and the other 2 back in the trade, they also, of course get the 2nd overall pick.

To Philly: #6 overall, another top 12 pick in this year's draft, LV's unprotected 1st in 2018, and one each of any goalie, forward or Dman we want from the expansion list with money retained on any contract with a cap hit greater than 3.5 million.

If LV wants to part with that, make the deal.

I was excited for ESO (Skyrim is still my favorite game of all-time), but the fact that you had to pay and its horrible Beta release kept me away.

Yeah, pretty much. But I'd amend it to any G/F/D on their roster after the expansion draft.

That's what I meant, we get to choose 1 G, D and F from them, whomever we want and with money retained on high priced deals.

I'd make them do all the legwork and say "we'll take 6th overall and next year's unprotected 1st ... But you need to package your picks together and somehow get us another top 10 pick this year."

If they're that stupid they deserve to fail miserably.

I am actually a bigger fan of Morrowind, didn't like Oblivion as much and found Skyrim enjoyable (especially with mods).

I bought ESO really cheap when I heard they were making the Morrowind expansion. I think I got the Gold Edition for $11-$12 and there are no monthly fees. Although the upgrade for Morrowind is $40, but have seen the price as low as $23 so far.

That's what I would need. I need a big win to move #2.

I don't watch any Junior hockey so I'm pretty ignorant to this... But, what is with everyone going crazy for Nico or Nolan? We were told for a year or two this would be a weak class. So if we could package #2 for something this year plus future #1s then why not? I know it's not guaranteed but it seems like we were forced to love these guys because everyone else was so weak. Why not shoot again for next year and still grab some assets? Now there's rumblings of other players who are #1 on certain boards that will fall to 5 or 6.

Yup. It's not like we're giving up McDavid or some other Franchise player. If they want to ridiculously overpay, make the deal.
