Las Vegas naming 30 streets after inaugural players

[jetsforever]

Bit of a summer thread topic, but we have nothing else right now
Apparently Las Vegas is building a bunch of new streets and naming them after the inaugural Golden Knights team
For some reason there is nothing listed for Neal, who put in 25 goals that year

They should drop the first names and stick to the inaugural roster. I mean, Nick Suzuki street? Even for Vegas that's ridiculous.

 

[NHL WAR]

That's awesome

 

[Riggins]

That's awesome

Maybe if you live on MAF Road. Not so much on Oscar Dansk Road.

 

[LeProspector]

Not only did Neal score 25 that year, but he scored the first ever goal in franchise history. Maybe their saving his name for something bigger?

Also, where’s the love for Reid Duke?

Good point, didn't notice that one stuck in there - maybe they're planning on reacquiring him?

Fair enough

 

[LeHab]

How quickly will those road signs get stolen?

 

[Voight]

Step your game up Columbus, Twin Cities, Nashville etc .....

 

[TheAngryHank]

They get a NFL team , going to name the streets after those players?

Come on...seriously. Ryan Reaves Road was like right there for the taking, and they totally missed it..

 

[Ezekial]

Also, where's Vadim Shipachyov Way?

 

[deckercky]

Luca Sbisa Street Roundabout

This will be a serviceable Roundabout, aside from the occasional absent minded element of its design.

 

[Treb]

Ha yes, the great Vegas player Nick Suzuki who played *checks notes* 0 game with the team.

 

[Toonces]

That's silly, but cool at the same time.

People are gonna steal them. Hopefully they sell replicas at the rink or something.

 

[amnesiac]

what? no Vadim Shipachyov cul-de-sac?

 

[tny760]

that's a big cringe from me partner

Yeah if they have Suzuki why not Cody Glass? 1st ever draft pick in franchise history ...

 

[izzy]

why the first names

the only one that should have the first name is ryan reaves road and they used his name with “street”

SMH

 

[Machinehead]

Nobody likes James Neal, that's why.

 

[Kaner9]

I wonder if the kids will go to Mark Stone elementary and Max Pacioretty high.

Oh yeah I go to Pacioretty, its right on the corner of Jonathan Marchessault and Tomas Tatar. Feels so natural to say.

 

[BHD]

William Karlsson Street

Wild Bill Road sounds better

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

What I question is how Nick Suzuki gets a street but Cody Glass doesn't, who was the first-ever pick in Golden Knights history. I think they should give it to Glass instead of Suzuki, just a big slap in the face to Cody Glass. Deryk Engelland should be the other busy street, did lots for Vegas when nobody cared about hockey.

Another guy they left out was Kelly McCrimmon who was assistant GM, there much before Gerard Gallant was even named head coach.

James Neal I'm on the fence with.

I imagine they'll build a school out there, but they gotta name the school(s) and parks after the players as well. But one thing that is without question a necessity is a hockey complex, or even better have a high school out there that specializes in hockey development.

Hopefully they at least give something to Mark Stone and Max Pacioretty, parks at least.
