Thank the Panthers, Vegas: The Panthers’ former players account for the Golden Knights’ top two scorers. Jonathan Marchessault was picked in the expansion draft, and Reilly Smith was traded for a fourth round pick. The Panthers seemed to bet that Marchessault’s 30-goal, 21-assist season was something of a fluke, and thus didn’t protect him over some of their other players.
