Lukas Cormier could be on the fast track to a Golden Knights roster spot sooner than expected

Lukas Cormier is a diamond in the rough for the Vegas Golden Knights. The Golden Knights don't have the best farm system in the NHL. Instead, they've traded away their picks for the best players, including Tomas Hertl and Ivan Barbashev.

Yet, Cormier's still there. He's like an innocent bystander lost amid the numerous trades and wheelin' and dealin' done by Kelly McCrimmon. That's not a bad thing, though. You need somebody to hold down the fort once players like Brayden McNabb are gone.

The same can be said for players like Mark Stone.
