After weeks of speculation, the Vegas Golden Knights drafted their team during the NHL Awards.
As a Flames fan, we had been quietly/loudly proclaiming that the Knights should take Troy Brouwer, but we were also worried that they’d take Brett Kulak or Hunter Shinkaruk.
However the Golden Knights threw a curveball and made a deal with Deryk Engelland and thus he became the Flames selection, leaving us scratching our heads in the process.
Engelland’s name had been linked to Vegas as he lives there in the offseason and would provide a good veteran presence.
