IDK but I hate them a little more with that logo. The old one was so cool. 2 hours ago, GMRwings1983 said: Indeed. They got rid of the only good thing they had. Just more bad marketing by NHL franchises. I think the logic was that there are a lot of Spanish-speaking people in Florida and Spanish-speaking people love them some soccer so let's make our sweaters look like soccer/rugby uniforms. Or something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If my memory serves me the owner Vinny Viola is a military vet like the Vegas dude and wanted his team to reflect that, so when he bought the team and rebranded it he requested the shield be put on their jerseys. Bad choice cause it looks boring. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kickazz 5,459 Report post Posted May 3, 2019 Good bit on Veleno after signing. This guy needs to be Larkin's "A" if he flourishes into an NHL player. 2 Dabura and krsmith17 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The day before last years draft the 'panel' on NHL Sirius XM they discussed how mature/poised/leadership qualities this kid has...Apparently his billet families, coaches, teammates, etc gush over how great he is - as in just a 'quality' human being, a natural leader, an on ice warrior. I'm thinking by his 3rd season he's gonna make the 10 plus teams regret passing on him in the draft. 2 Dabura and krsmith17 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Might give Larkin a run for his money at some point. Not bad to have competition. Would be nice to have another duo of epic centers Yzerman/Fedorov, Datsyuk/Zetterberg, Larkin/Veleno? Also, anyone else thinks this guy looks like John Tavares? Edited May 3, 2019 by kickazz 2 Dabura and krsmith17 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He may not be a 80 plus pts centerman at the NHL level, but he's 1 of those who will be a sound choice wearing the 'A' in Detroit when the time comes. 1 Dabura reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
