Now, let’s preface this by saying that offseason lists don’t mean anything in the grand scheme of things and a lot of the predictions are based on guesswork and hype depending on how the Vegas Golden Knights and the 30 other teams in the NHL fared in free agency. So, in other words, don’t take any of these lists as gospel. They are meant as a bit of fun and to generate content during the down days of the summer.
However, it is interesting from a Golden Knights perspective that a lot of media outlets and sports books in Las Vegas are extremely high on a team who have made the postseason in each of their two years of existence.
