Yesterday afternoon, the WHL’s Reid Duke signed a 3-year ELC with the Vegas Golden Knights. This not only makes him their first player, but also makes him the subject of lots of NHL interest and scrutiny until other players do the same.
If you don't know who Duke is off-hand, you aren't alone. The Calgary native has been the subject of several pieces over the past 24-hours to the tune of “Who Is Reid Duke?” The signing seems to have taken the hockey community by surprise, and perhaps wrongly so given his ties to members of the Golden Knights organization (per the following links).
