BUFFALO, N.Y. — For Golden Knights general manager George McPhee and his hockey operations staff, the most important time of the year for the NHL expansion franchise is almost here.
The June 23 NHL Entry Draft is looming ominously. The Knights have been watching games since August. With the NHL Scouting Combine having wrapped up Saturday at the Harborcenter, it’s time to take all the data and information and notes from all the discussions and reports that have been filed by the scouting staff over the past 10 months and make some big decisions.
A lot will happen between now and June 23 in Chicago.
