Prospect Info: Draft 2025 - Waiting for the Draft Lotto

[Jesse]

Had to go to Kansas City for work. We went to a fancy steak house. One of my colleagues had the audacity to order their steak well done and asked for A1 as well.

I like A1 sometimes, I'm tired of hiding it.

This is acceptable... provided we're talking like... a flat iron or London broil yeah?

I swear Jesse you better not be saucin' up 100 dollar ribeyes with all that fancy hockey writer money!

Try A1 mixed with a hint of Ranch dressing on baked potato with butter. So good!

I think the two players with the quickest path to the NHL outside of the top two are Eklund and Frondell. They've already been playing with and against grown men.

I would also put Hagens on the fast track in terms of getting to league. Pretty feasible to imagine him signing and turning pro at the end of 2025-26.

(being impactful may be longer).

No sir, just for stuff I cook at home like flat irons or something. No Filets. I also really like it with pork chops.

Oh well then yeah... this should just be common sense. A1 is actually really great IMO... but even I wouldn't put it on an expensive cut of meat and I'm a heathen. Though I suppose they are ALL expensive, now. And frankly I've always found most "top end" cuts to be overrated. I've always preferred a good burger over a steak, anyway. Or shit even a good chop like you just mentioned.

Flat irons have actually done me very well for a while, now. I just fork the shit out of them and drop 'em in a bag of simple marinade for a few hours before they hit the grill. Cook to just past rare and slice thin. Serve with A1 or horseradish. Shit now I'm hungry thanks lol

Im a filet hater. Good ones are good but they are really hard to get correct and as a result they can be very chewy, even if rare/med rare

My hot take is NY strip > Ribeye. I think the leaner cut allows more of that actual steak flavor, not just fat flavor. I like a Ribeye but prefer to cook them myself. Restaurant will take what is already a fatty cut and then bathe it in like a stick and a half of butter and the result is too greasy for me.

We might not always agree on hockey but when it comes to food...

Hey bud I wouldn't judge if you were!

Luckily I've mostly maintained my crazy metabolism from my youth to help burn off all the booze and tasty mistakes. And the gym and never-ending yardwork takes care of the rest... mostly.

I'm a fan of hanger cuts, for similar reasons.
