Player Name Game

[BattleBorn]

So this is going to be a long season and we really don't have much to talk about except the team name and mock drafts for the next few months.

So, let's play a game. I’m going to post the picture and name of a hockey player. You post the picture and name of a hockey player whose name with the last letter of my hockey player’s name.

I’ve got Jonathan Toews (since you might as well start with the best) the next person posts a pic and name of someone whose name starts with S since Toews ends with S.

Bonus points (there are no points) for posting a player that might wind up on our roster next season. Feel free to discuss the players that are posted for any reason. Like I said, bonus points for players that might be exposed to the expansion draft (again, there really aren't points. )

Steven Stamkos.

 

[VanIslander]

Steven Stamkos.

Sharp,... Patrick Sharp.

He's a 2017 UFA who is a 2014 Olympic gold medallist, three-time Stanley Cup champion, four-time 30-goal scorer, who still has game.

 

[HanSolo]

Mathieu Perreault, maybe a future Vegas player?

 

[Super Cake]

Do you have to match the first name with the last letter of the previous player? If you do, the two posters above have already messed up the game.

Meh, either way I guess. I was thinking first names, but you're going to miss out on a lot of people if we do it that way. You'll never see a James Reimer, for example since there aren't many last names ending with the letter J.

 

[BattleBorn]

Tyler Bozak, expected to potentially be left unprotected by the Leafs.

Kyle Turris

 

[Super Cake]

Sebastian Aho

 

[BattleBorn]

With our pick from the Washington Capitals, the Las Vegas Silver Knights select:

Dmitry Orlov

 

[HanSolo]

Vlad Tarasenko

 

[Super Cake]

Olli Jokinen

 

[mbam99]

Nail Yakupov

 

[VanIslander]

Viktor Stalberg, a 2017 UFA, who will be 31 years old, is a banging role player on a 'Canes team without many options for Vegas to choose from if Carolina re-signs him midseason..

 

[Super Cake]

Gabriel Landeskog

I'm in agreement with BB's interpretation, and suggest it function as the rule to keep as many (interesting) players on the table as possible.

Gabriel Landeskog

Marian Gaborik

Depending on how he plays when he gets back from injury could be one of our more attractive (albeit risky) options that the Kings expose. We currently have a *lot* of cap room

 

[BattleBorn]

Someone else we might see in Vegas.

Kevin Klein.

 

[VanIslander]

A 2017 UFA...

Nick Bonino

 

[HanSolo]

Ondrej Palat

 

[MrLouniverse]

TJ Oshie

UFA next offseason if the Caps don't find a way to extend him/trade him to a team who extends him.

 

[BattleBorn]

Someone we'll hear plenty about between now and the expansion draft:

Evander Kane

 

[HanSolo]

I'd pay extra on every ticket if it meant not having Kane on this team. I don't care how skilled he is. There couldn't be a worse fit.

Erik Karlsson

 

[BattleBorn]

I'm not saying he should wind up here, just that we're going to hear that he should.

Nick Cousins, another likely unprotected feller.

 

[Not So Mighty]

Anyone care to increase the difficulty a slight bit and not include the names of assumedly well known players?

Edit: Or how about just put the names in white colored font for those of us who like the challenge? If you need the help, just highlight. No one will ever know.

Scott Hartnell

 

[VanIslander]

Another UFA in 2017. His first name begins with the last letter of Hartnell.
