Vegas likely to lack star power and scoring in early NHL existence
When it constructed rules for the upcoming expansion draft, the NHL tried to ensure at least one thing: that the Vegas Golden Knights weren’t immediately terrible.
The list of available players to the Knights suggests that might be the case. But in all likelihood, Vegas will lack stars and scoring in the early years of its existence.
“I’m really pleased with what’s available,” general manager George McPhee said Sunday after protection lists and available players were released.
“This has worked out very well for the Vegas Golden Knights, and we expect to put a good, entertaining club on the ice.”
