Rated high on many a Draft board, Krebs found himself slipping after suffering an Achilles injury during summer workouts, eventually falling to the Vegas Golden Knights with the No. 17 overall pick at last year’s Draft.
Blessed with a perfect and deadly mix of speed, skill and smarts, Krebs has all the intangibles needed to morph into a stud in the NHL and he’s already put his injury woes behind him after tearing it up for the Winnipeg Ice in the WHL with 60 points (12 goals, 48 assists) in 38 games this year.
Many a team’s loss could be the gain of the Golden Knights.
