As we know, in most professional sports, when a team is successful other teams in the league will try to take something away from a championship team. And, the NHL is no different. Teams will look to VGK to see how they won the Cup on the ice, and might replicate some key areas. We talked about rolling four solid lines, having four quality centers, and having an elite center and defenseman (Eichel/Pietrangelo) as key components for VGK. We talked about the structure of the defense and how you don't have to have an elite goalie (although Adin Hill was sensational on his own), just someone between the pipes who is serviceable. We looked at VGK's improvement on special teams through the playoffs and we discussed key targets for Golden Knights free agents Hill and Ivan Barbeshev.
