Establishing a reputation as a franchise not afraid to go for the jugular, the Vegas Golden Knights have morphed into an instant Stanley Cup contender from the minute they entered the NHL in 2017.
After constructing a roster full of untested players with a point to prove at the 2017 NHL Expansion Draft, the Golden Knights have ridden that wave ever since and they’ve added some big hitters to their core.
Pulling the trigger on blockbuster trades for superstars in the ilk of Max Pacioretty and Mark Stone, in addition to making a splash in free agency by going all out for center Paul Stastny, the Knights haven’t been afraid to make their intentions crystal clear.
