The unrestricted free agency period is less than two weeks away, and the Vegas Golden Knights should be big players. If fellow forwards such as James Neal, David Perron, and Ryan Reaves don’t come back, the team will have a couple of voids in the lineup. General Manager George McPhee will have to be very careful about how to handle this situation.
He knows the team’s primary needs are at defense and the center positions. The names we all keep hearing about are Erik Karlsson, John Carlson, and John Tavares. But what about a couple of the unheralded guys that are out there potentially looking for a new team?
