The Vegas Golden Knights will arrive at the 2019 NHL Entry Draft on Friday boasting a treasure chest of nine picks, including the No.17 selection in the first round.
It is the first time the Knights have had a pick in the opening round since taking forward Cody Glass sixth overall in the 2017 NHL Entry Draft.
This year’s draft is loaded with high-end playmaking and scoring talent, particularly in the first round, while there are some intriguing options to consider for teams wishing to beef up their blueline.
Having the No.17 pick will present the Knights with the opportunity to select a potential game-changer for the franchise, whether they add a potent offensive weapon or a defensive lynchpin.
