The Las Vegas Golden Knights now have 30 names to add to their roster, one of them being former Dallas Stars forward Cody Eakin. While not all of them will end up actually being on the team come puck drop next fall, the newest NHL franchise is set up to be ready soon enough.
Eakin was left off of Dallas’ protected list that was released Sunday morning, but him being chosen makes perfect sense given a few notable attributes.
Offensive Versatility
While Eakin isn’t known for being immensely offensive, he has the ability to put the puck in the net.
