DALLAS — The moment George McPhee probably has been dreading for months is here.
With the NHL draft having concluded Saturday and the Golden Knights addressing their distant future with eight picks, McPhee, the team’s general manager, now turns his attention to free agency and the franchise’s immediate future.
Unrestricted free agents can begin contacting other teams Sunday night and sign starting July 1. The Knights have four unrestricted free agents — forwards James Neal, David Perron and Ryan Reaves and defenseman Luca Sbisa — and McPhee said Saturday that the team has extended offers to all four.
