Every year there is a good to great young player taken from pick 20 into the second round, if you’re a building team you just collect as many picks as you can and hope your scouting staff hits on one of them.

Came across this beauty last night. Metallica - Enter Sandman Live Moscow 1991. I have never seen it before. So that's what 1.6 million people look like in one spot. I don't think I've ever seen that many people in one spot before.
And they absolutely killed it.

The story behind that performance is even better. Russia was going through their student uprising/fall of communism thingy. Russian government reps asked the students what they wanted and one of their demands was a western style rock concert. Metallica were touring Europe with AC/DC at that time and the government officials called up the promoters and asked if the two bands would perform one, open air, free concert. The bands said yes and the rest is history.
400,000 people attended Woodstock in 69 and they still talk about it today like it was some sort of phenom. Metallica had 1.6 million people attend that day and you hardly hear a thing about it. Russians are just a different breed of human.

Wow great story dude.
I've seen tidbits of that concert but never really paid attention to it. I'll check out the full show.
Still not sure on the Guentzel thing... - LordHumungous
I’m wondering if resigning talks & how much might be a hold up. Again I’m not interested in draining the top assets any more. Already 1 probable high cost rental is done & a 2nd could be so huge of a gamble.
