We’re only two weeks into the 2019-20 NHL regular season but some teams will already be tempted to tweak their roster and, although the Vegas Golden Knights will probably stand pat for now, they shouldn’t.
Why do we say that? Well, the answer is simple really, the Knights boast a stacked roster but I was dubious about the blueline heading into the year and that unit hasn’t done anything through the first seven games to convince me otherwise.
Granted, Nate Schmidt will make a massive difference once he returns from being on the IR after sustaining a lower body injury in the season opener, and this is now the second consecutive season that the defenseman has missed time at the start of the year.
