Vegas Golden Knights (40W-14L-2OT)

After losing in the Stanley Cup Semifinals last year, the Golden Knights have made winning part of their culture and this year they are going to settle for nothing sort of the Cup itself.

Additions

  • F Evgenii Dadonov
  • F Nolan Patrick
  • F Brett Howden
  • G Laurent Brossoit

Subtractions

  • G Marc-Andre Fleury
  • F Ryan Reaves
  • F Cody Glass
  • D Nick Holden

The additions made to the forward group should really help the already strong depth of the Golden Knights. The only thing that I could see being an issue for the Golden Knights now, is the goaltending. Giving away Marc-Andre Fleury for almost nothing but cap space may be an issue if Robin Lehner struggles this year. Fleury carried the Knights through the playoffs that last couple years, and Brossoit has yet to show that type of ability in his career yet.
