Condensed Camp Opens Today!
The 13-day preseason condensed camp opens today and new head coach Ryan Craig and the VGK front office will be looking for several answers. Craig said this week that he plans to play both goalies this season, plans to put a puck-mover on each D pairing, wants the defense more involved in the…
Under-The-Radar prospects that could breakout
Who are some of the under-the-radar players that could make an impression in VGK's camp? Who could become the next Braeden Bowman? We have a list of prospects. Juho Piiparinen was recalled from Liiga and the defenseman will now be attending VGK camp Wednesday. And, what was VGK's revenue this past…
VGK Bets on Stone with $9M AAV Extension
We debate the Mark Stone extension. Was it a loyalty deal? Did VGK overpay Stone, who is injury-prone at $9m AAV, We also discuss whether VGK should have extended Pavel Dorofeyev rather than gamble on Stone on a two-year deal. Is it a smart bet or did VGK overpay its Captain. VGK's top prospect…
Bowman leaves cash behind, signs team-friendly deal
Braeden Bowman inked a six-year contract extension Thursday worth $3.4-million AAV. We were surprised it was that long of a term in the deal. Bowman will be 29-years old by the end of the contract and could miss out on a much larger contract. Other young depth players are also signing larger…
Does VGK have depth to compete with top-tier teams?
The Golden Knights don't have the depth currently to compete with the top-tier teams, especially teams like Dallas and Colorado in the Western Conference. The road to a Cup title might have to go through the Stars or Avalanche this season and VGK, at least on paper, falls short in the depth…
New CBA goes into effect Sept. 16
Among the new rules under the Collective Bargaining agreement that goes into effect starting Sept 16: no more fitness tests, new contract rules (7 year max contracts, 6 years for UFAs), mandatory EBUGs and the beginning of a new 84 game season. Fitness testing was a fixture in camps for decades.…
Will shorter preseason runway threaten VGK's signature start?
We question whether VGK will get out to its signature fast start this season following a shortened pre-season with a new head coach and some new players in the lineup. Plus we have to worry about the team's chemistry early on. A lot of the work by veterans especially, has to be done individually.…
Unsigned UFA's last-minute targets for VGK
Who will fill roster gaps before camp begins? VGK could pick from a variety of still unsigned UFA's if they can clear cap space. Former Golden Knights Reilly Smith, Brandon Saad and Ben Hutton are still unsigned. Reilly Smith could be a good choice based on his familiarity with the organization.…
Ryan Craig's VGK tweaks should include relentless forecheck
First-year head coach Ryan Craig says there won't be a significant overhaul of the VGK system, but rather he will make some "tweaks" to what the club is doing now. We went back to what Craig was doing in Henderson and as a player - and the keys to success were a relentless forecheck and netfront…
Golden Knights X-Factors
We have our X Factors for the upcoming season: Tony Cordasco pointed directly to Brett Howden after he scored 18 points and five goals in the playoffs. He talked about the chemistry between Howden and Mitch Marner specifically that sparked Howden's playoff heroics - Marner assisted on four of…
Golden Opportunity for Connolly in Rookie Camp
Trevor Connolly is positioned as a focal point in VGK's Rookie Camp. If he pops, he could make the Golden Knights roster to start the season. He also has a leg up with his AHL Coach, Ryan Craig, now piloting the NHL Golden Knights. He knows everything about Connolly and what his skill set it. There…
