In Utero was a better album than Nevermind.

I'll show myself out now.

Bleach hasn't aged well.

Add in the fact that they recorded In Utero in just 2 weeks makes it even more impressive.

Edit: Paper Cuts still kicks ass.

Keeping up with the pace of play is a hockey IQ thing. Morgan Frost's biggest plus has always been that he could think the game way above the level of his peers.

As far as physical needs, he's bulked up a lot, and worked on his defensive game this past season. Like the other guy said, he's there to score, but he's also not gonna be a complete void in the defensive zone.

He's more polished than G was coming out of junior. G had more upside overall probably, but Frost isn't gonna be a guy that's gonna fall behind on the ice.

Not claiming he's gonna be a lock out of camp. Just that he'll probably be a contributor sooner than later. That's why I don't think you need to go out and grab a UFA for 6-7 years. Just let Patrick keep that seat warm for him.

I think farabee is probably closer. He can play on a 4th line

Be curious to see what other GM/organizations/ outside draft pro's think of Frost. They consider him an A+, A, or B prospect. Are they all on pretty much the same board or varied opinions.

Habs reportedly have interest in Ghost. Do we have any interest in anything they have? My initial thought is "not really".

Was really a great album. They all have a different sound, which I appreciate. A life gone too soon.

Nevermind Still my favorite. And I don’t even think the most popular songs are that great on the album. Drain you, breed, lounge act are the best ones

I’d say Gallagher but we have konecny who plays that role.

Yeah, I don't really see a move with them that would make sense. I love Domi but I'm not sure I'd move Ghost for him. They have the 15th overall pick this year...but I can't see us cashing in Ghost for a player that is going to take years to develop.

I personally feel that the album has gotten better with age. But that's just me. In Utero is kinda like Kevin Hayes spot on the flyers (if Signed) It is a 2A/B album in their small repertoire

nikolaj ehlers is the same age and plays the same position as Oskar Lindblom. I’m not suggesting a deal that includes Lindblom but I’m assuming we need to trade a Left Winger if we bring another in (Giroux, JvR, Lindblom, Frost, Farabee, Raffl).

It's funny how we went from having no LW depth for years to all of a sudden being very deep at that position.

G moving to wing, bringing JVR back, Lindblom having a nice year and Farabee/Frost in the system all happened within about a year.

I don't see how we add another one right now. Adding a top RW would give us some really great depth on the right side imo.

Interesting. With Toronto in a cap crunch I could see them looking at that. I think they're probably going to ask for a pick in return as well maybe.

Should he get lynched for moving the 11th overall pick if he does ?
- daryl stanley

Depends on who he moves or for. I think #11 in this draft will be a quality pick. It's a deeper than usual draft from what I've been reading.
If he brings in a top 4 D or a legit 2c he may have to pull the trigger. But frost and Farabee I wouosnt even entertain offer unless it blows me away, which just wont happen. I'd keep them just because their ceiling is extremely high and I believe both will reach close to that ceiling.
I'd love to hang on to our youth and instead overpay in free agency rather than sell or trade A+ prospects.
Trading away future assets is homer-ish to me and I hope those days are done. We are not close enough to complete yet so it would be a bad move
