Around the League 2024-25 season

Winnipeg looking absolutely formidable. If they stay healthy I think they could go deep. They have a solid #1 at every major position and a great supporting cast. Vilardi looks at home on the top line with Connor and Scheifele (way to pad that team Blake, you absolute dipshit).

Dustin Wolf also looks like a star #1 goalie in the making. Him and Demko rep California goalies nicely.

Too bad the Kings didn't take him with the 7th rounder that year. At least they got Andre Lee.

Could’ve drafted him, but no, they had to go with the taller goalie in Lukas Parik. What’s Parik doing now?

Goalies are a crapshoot what ever round they get picked , a 7th round goalie hitting and it's time for that scout to play the lottery.

Oh come on, it's not like we NEEDED a right shot wing...oh

Well it's not like he could have been had anyway, he would obviously have been expensive....what's that?

Well, at least we got back what we needed for him...doh

He was a big meanie at practice, so I'm GLAD I don't get to wear the Vilardi jersey I bought right before he was traded

Kings have a little extra connection to Wolf because he grew up here in the Junior Kings org and idolized Quick. Once he left and had the #s, it was kind of stupid to not even glance at him, especially given they were clearly aware

This isn't revisionist GMing either, the name came up plenty at the time.

Edit: hell a quick search reveals quite a few of us calling for Wolf in the 3rd - 5th rounds over taking spencer knight in the 1st, never mind after that. Their picks there were Parik, Spence, Nousiainen.

I would've grabbed him for the name alone.
