1000 games for Thomas Vanek today. Never thought I'd see an Austrian hit that number, let alone over 350 goals and 750 points. Him and Grabner have certainly written Austrian hockey history, no idea if we'll ever have another player that good.
and kind of sad that it's coming to an end soon. Vanek turns 35 in a couple of weeks and he's close to being done, Grabner is 31 already too. And then there's Raffl, but he's 30 as well and only a bottom 6 depth player anyway.
in terms of prospects, that Marco Rossi kid playing for the 67s looks really good and should be a relatively high pick in 2020. Hope he can become a good NHLer at some point.
