Entering the offseason with a Stanley Cup contending core in place and offensive juggernaut Mark Stone signed to an eight-year deal, this summer was all about minor tweaks for the Vegas Golden Knights rather than a radical makeover.
After making the Stanley Cup Final in their inaugural year in 2017, before suffering a disappointing early exit at the hands of the San Jose Sharks last season, the Vegas front office knew it was a case of fine tuning what they already had.
And, it has been a case of so far so good for the Golden Knights who have already accomplished much of what they set out to achieve with the summer still very much in its infancy.
