Golden Knights forward Paul Stastny, the team’s biggest offseason acquisition, is focused on tackling his biggest challenge before training camp: names.
The 32-year-old, who carries the team’s biggest cap hit this season at $6.5 million, knows most of his new teammates but is still trying to get to know others around City National Arena.
“That’s always the hardest part,” said Stastny, who spoke after an informal skate Wednesday. “Whether it’s management, training staff, strength coaches. Guys like that.”
Stastny at least has been around his new co-workers lately, taking part in offseason workouts with the Knights this week to start to build chemistry with his new teammates.
