Golden Knights sign their first player ever, Reid Duke, to ELC
They go to a CHL overager who played for McCrimmon in Brandon.
Duke was a former 2014 6th round pick of the Wild who they didn't sign last season.

Won't be surprised if they sign a couple of Wheat Kings - Kelly McCrimmon being their AGM and all.

Whenever I watched Brandon (to see Patrick) I always thought Duke was pretty good. He probably only projects as depth but he plays the right way.

The Golden Knights' first player is from Calgary. Neat.

If they want players from Brandon who also have a "royalty" last name, how can you go wrong with Wheaton King?

Well, aside from signing him- how could you go wrong.

I don't understand the hate for Reid Duke honestly. He's by far the best player on the Knights roster and imo is the only player on the team that should be considered for the "C" right now.

Reid Duke should give Connor McDavid a call and ask what it feels like to be the only player on the roster.
