Jake Bischoff isn’t the Golden Knights’ flashiest prospect on the blue line but he still has a chance to make the team out of training camp.
The 24-year-old plays smart defensively, communicates well and brings some offense to the table. The Knights currently have two available roster spots with Nate Schmidt suspended and Shea Theodore unsigned, so the time is now for Bischoff to make his case.
“I hope so,” Bischoff said when asked if he’s ready for the NHL. “That’s what you work for your whole life. If the opportunity comes, we’ll see. I definitely feel like I’ve been preparing for the last 20-plus years of my life to try to get to this point so if it happens that’d be cool.
