2019 NHL Draft: Vegas Golden Knights struck gold with Peyton Krebs

In a first round that sprung a flurry of surprises after the opening two picks, the Vegas Golden Knights were handed the ultimate gift when they finally went on the clock.

And it was worth the wait as Krebs, a high-end playmaker and natural-born leader, fell nicely in the lap of the Golden Knights who accomplished their mission of drafting a stud forward.

The cupboard was pretty bare after Cody Glass when it came to offensive prospects in the farm system, but the Knights have now added a center to the depth chart with a very high ceiling.
