Team: 2017-18 Vegas Golden Knights

Initial Creation Date: Jun. 18, 2017

Published: Jun. 18, 2017

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Lots of good players available in expansion draft. Vegas will probably take some of them and flip them immediately or possibly hold onto them and flip some to contenders mid season. Overall though, GM is going to be looking at adding some young talent. Not going to take a whole lot of big contracts.

I also think they will make a splash in the draft to trade for number 1 and draft Nolan Patrick. Despite having a decent team, they are lacking a star, or potential star and they should address that right away. Through several trades, I have them drafting Patrick 1st overall and then Liljegren 15th overall and I think both will get a chance to play this year.

I think they will try to address some defense in free agency, hence the Del Zotto signing, but other that no big UFA deals.
And they'll have several young guys in the minors including Rychel, Kolesar, Dermott, Oesterle, Demelo, Ullmark, and Subban.
