Utah had the perfect opportunity to add "Mustangs" to the list of potential team names and didn't. I'm pretty sure there are more wild horses in Utah than fictional ape men. I'm just gonna go watch Youngblood fight Racki again while you all discuss less important topics.

What the Ek? Please rate the following goalies, keeping the soonest as a starter and [eventual] better GAA in their career: Askarov, Levi & Knight. Thanks!

what the ek... we seem to be in the midst of a high scoring era... do you see "the trap" era coming back and the pendulum swinging the other way again, and is there another Brodeur, Roy, or Plante out there?

Two line passes being legal prevent the dead puck era trap from working. Dmen just stretch pass the puck behind the opposing players leading to lots of odd man rushes against the trapping team.
Highest goalie save percentage in league history is the modern era around 2014. Think league average that year was ~.915 which is just ridiculous and was largely boring hockey. The reduced pad sizes have it down around .903 which I think is much better balance for the game.

What the Ek is NJ doing for goalies? I've heard Markstrom, but is Jack Campbell still an E3? Would Nylander for Markstrom work for each team? Nylander is from Calgary.

That most likely what would cost to get the 2nd overall pick and don't call people stupid it just shows how low your IQ is. And was just spitballing at what the price would be to acquire the 2nd overall pick. Plus depends on how much Montreal want Demidov and are willing to overpay.
