Murray sucked as scout as well

Ignoring the fact that Murray didn’t draft Baptiste or Bailey (2013 picks), he used the in-house scouting crew in 2014 using his time to focus on Reinhart, and then his other draft picks being thrown out for the most part by Botterill and company so we saw incomplete development.

Murray had average drafting success as other GMs and teams. His focus on physical tools while developing coaches/staff was not a good mix. His most successful draft pick in terms of value was probably Hagel which required Chicago development coaches. One could argue he showed promise prior being cut by Botts.

Man, every penalty would be a stand off.

If we get sovereign citizen players I think the refs should be allowed to have tasers on the ice.

I didn't know that.

Hopefully Utah overcomes it, because Yetis is the best name I've seen.

How the Vegas Golden Knights were named

Owner Bill Foley wanted his team to be called the Black Knights, but the Army said no. So we take you behind the scenes to tell you how he got to Vegas Golden Knights.

Foley, a graduate of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, initially wanted to call his team the Black Knights, but a number of factors -- not the least of which was some level of concern from Army officials -- conspired to make that a no-go.

But Foley incorporated some of the color schemes and elements that he'd envisioned for a Black Knights team with the Golden Knights, including metallic gold embroidery, a slate-gray medieval-themed helmet, crossed swords over a stylized star with a dab of red that approximates the star in the iconic Las Vegas city sign.

Foley had to get approval from the NHL and they had to clear the use of the Golden Knights name with Clarkson College in Potsdam, New York, which also uses the Golden Knights as its nickname.

Then Foley trademarked the name, along with Silver Knights and Desert Knights, to keep people from guessing the team's real identity before Tuesday's big reveal.

And it hasn't been Clarkson College of Technology in decades...
