The Vegas Golden Knights are ruthless. And their players are OK with it
Ask the Vegas Golden Knights captain what he thinks about X or Y, and he’ll fearlessly empty his thoughts on the table, provocative as they may be. That was the case a few weeks ago when, at the NHL Player Media Tour, he fielded some questions on his team’s constantly changing roster.“When I first saw him, I was expecting him to be 300 pounds, overweight, and he’s the furthest thing from it,” Stone said. “This guy can throw weight around in the gym.
“It’s great – that’s what you want as a player,” Eichel said. “You want a team that wants to win every year and has the highest of expectations, and that’s obviously how it is here, so I feel very fortunate to be a part of it.” There was just one problem when Eichel debuted in Vegas: he rejoined a graveyard of a roster. Stone was in and out of the lineup with chronic back problems. Pacioretty couldn’t stay healthy. Starting goaltender Robin Lehner dealt with multiple major injuries. The Golden Knights were pretty much never at full strength, and the perpetually depleted lineup put Eichel back in a situation resembling the one he wanted to escape in Buffalo.
