LAS VEGAS -- When the Vegas Golden Knights assembled their initial roster at the expansion draft on June 21, at least one member of the NHL's newest franchise didn't have to worry about finding a new home. A veteran of eight NHL seasons with the Pittsburgh Penguins and Calgary Flames, defenseman Deryk Engelland has called Sin City home since being assigned to the ECHL's Las Vegas Wranglers in 2004. In a conversation with ESPN, Engelland, 35, talked about bringing the NHL to his adopted hometown, helping his new teammates get settled and, of course, his favorite Vegas show.
