DALLAS — After spending Friday watching the NHL draft, the Golden Knights will join the fun Saturday.
The Knights, who had no first-round picks, have seven selections from the second to sixth rounds at American Airlines Center, beginning with the 61st overall pick.
General manager George McPhee said this draft isn’t about addressing needs but rather finding good hockey players to develop.
“Good hockey players come in all shapes and sizes,” he said. “That’s what we’re looking for — good hockey players.”
Craig Button, a former NHL general manager and now an analyst for a Canadian TV network, said the Knights will have plenty of good players from which to choose.
