As the 2018-19 season eases into the playoffs, the Vegas Golden Knights transition from being an expansion team to a team that is built on winning now. Last year changed so much, and the argument may be that Vegas is even better this season. The results may not pan out but the roster put forth now on paper is a contender in the West.
Prospect wise, Vegas expects a late first-round pick once again this year. Their pipeline should get a boost with ten picks in the first five rounds of the 2019 NHL Draft. George McPhee has some options in his arsenal, and he may use a few of them.
