The Golden Knights 2018 Trade Deadline
February 27th, 2018 The Vegas Golden Knights are exactly where nobody thought they’d be at the 2017-18 NHL trade deadline. I'm probably the only exception worldwide. The hope for veteran players to perform admirably enough to warrant a nice return from a squad beefing up for the postseason has given way to a buyer’s mentality and Stanley Cup...

While there are a variety of reasons for why those players are not still with...
Golden Knights Facing Tough Decisions
November 24th, 2017 This wasn’t the plan. Expansion teams lose. The Vegas Golden Knights should have been no different. You lose just enough to earn yourselves an enviable draft position but not so much as to turn people off the product.
