All future matchups between the LA Kings and Vegas Golden Knights should have a little more excitement after the Alex Pietrangelo signing.
Despite being in salary cap H-E-double hockey sticks, the Vegas Golden Knights have reportedly signed Alex Pietrangelo to a seven-year deal at an $8.8M AAV. And they are approximately $7M over the salary cap (update below).
The LA Kings are bystanders in this whole thing, but the two teams have quickly turned into rivals within the Pacific Divison. Especially after the Erik Haula/Anze Kopitar incident in 2018.
