Description
This Vegas team has shocked the world I see no reason why any player wouldn't want to go there right now.

With there amazing start to their franchise and the crazy cap space they are going to I'd be shocked if they didn't keep their foot on the gas and go after some elite players.

This team would be the hands down favorite from the west next year.

Before you go crazy about the Tavres, Kane and Carlson Contracts, consider this even after all those moves they still have 3mil in cap space. They have they space why not use it.

12.5 to land Tavres is not unthinkable.

7mil for Kane is because of his intangebles, toughness, grit, willingness to fight as well as crazy speed and power with silky hand and a great shot.

8mil for Carlson is a big jump but he's almost a point a game defensemen right now has more points than Doughty and is only minus 2.

I did shoot a little high purpose, but I don't see him signing for anything under 6mil that's for sure.

I could see a scenario where the Knights go hard for at least 1 top UFA, but I doubt they'd successful sign all 3. Seeing as George McPhee drafted with character in mind when he brought this initial team together in the Expansion Draft, I doubt they'd be interested in Evander Kane when there are far better options out there such as JVR, or their own James Neal. Considering the year Karlsson and Haula are having, I think a top flight defenseman like John Carlson, would be the higher priority, considering Tavares may not even make it to free agency.

Everyone brings up Character when its comes to Kane, but honestly he's matured, that phase of his life is over he has been nothing but great in the community this year, and he's one of the most well liked guys in the room. The reasoning for Kane over Neal is that Kane is in his prime only 26. but you are probably right that there slim chance they land all three.
