LAS VEGAS (AP) While the rest of the NHL chased veteran players in free agency, the Vegas Golden Knights finished up the franchise’s first player development camp Saturday with optimism for their young future.
The expansion club’s prospects spent the week working out at the diminutive Las Vegas Ice Center, about 15 minutes southwest of T-Mobile Arena and 10 minutes from its nearly-completed practice arena. The rink was packed with fans when the Golden Knights held intrasquad scrimmages over the final three days of camp.
Vegas general manager George McPhee wasn’t active in the veteran free-agent market, only signing six players to minor-league deals.
