Was expecting the Knights to field a better opening day roster; they look pretty bad from this expansion draft. Their saving grace is the amount of draft picks they acquired this year, most notably the first rounders. That said, I can't see this team winning more than 20 games next year. MAF will be a solid backbone for them, but their defence is underwhelming and they will struggle to score goals from their forwards. Interested to see what they do with their excess forwards, D and goalies. I can see them trading Method to DAL for that third overall picl. Don't forget that Vegas also signed that KHL star too, which may help.
