Brandon Pirri faces uphill battle to make Golden Knights roster

Brandon Pirri is wise enough at this point in his career to know what he’s up against.

“This league’s all about ‘What can you do for me?’” he said.

In the case of Pirri, he can score goals. That’s never been an issue for the 27-year-old Toronto native.

But Pirri is the first to admit he also has limitations to his game. His skills are best-suited to the role of a top-six forward and power-play specialist, which leaves him facing an uphill battle to make the Golden Knights’ 23-man roster.

Pirri will not be in the lineup when Knights host Arizona at 5 p.
