McCrimmon’s new gig with the Vegas Golden Knights will commence on September 1, 2019, a month before the 2019-20 regular season gets underway.
McCrimmon will be tasked with representing the Golden Knights at the NHL’s General Managers Meetings, in addition to being the main point of contact for the other GM’s in the league.
George McPhee, meanwhile, will continue to oversee all hockey operations decisions and oversee Vegas’ hockey operations team as the franchise’s President of Hockey Operations.
This move keeps the Vegas brain trust together with McCrimmon, who previously served as McPhee’s Assistant General Manager, being courted by other organisations including the Edmonton Oilers.
