Free agents participating in the Golden Knights’ development camp at City National Arena this week don’t have to look far to find a success story to try to replicate.
Dylan Coghlan is right there on the ice with them.
The 21-year-old defenseman just finished a season in which he had 40 regular-season points in 66 games during his first professional season and appeared in seven postseason games for the Knights’ American Hockey League affiliate in Chicago.
Two years ago, he attended development camp as a free agent hoping to be noticed.
“It’s a great opportunity,” Coghlan said after practicing Tuesday.
