Analyzing the Golden Knights Future Stars

The Vegas Golden Knights win-now mindset has left the Vegas Golden Knights prospect pool depleted. However, do they have any future stars in their organization?

There have been a lot of reports regarding the lack of Vegas Golden Knights depth in their affiliate. Which, to be honest is understandable. The lack of superstar depth comes from trading away future stars in order to acquire current day stars. Since they have traded just about all their top prospects away, I figured I’d take the time to analyze and go through film in order to figure out who the top 10 prospects are for the Knights.

There isn’t a whole lot out there to get a feel for some of these prospects, but that just made this project a lot more fun. But, the one thing I will say before going to far in-depth is that although there isn’t a ‘star’, that doesn’t mean there aren’t talented players in their prospect pool. In fact, If I were to make a ‘top 100 NHL prospects in the pipeline’, the Knights would have multiple prospects on that list.

Now, this shouldn’t be mistaken because if you recall, the Vegas Golden Knights have actually drafted pretty well but they just trade them away. They drafted Nick Suzuki, they drafted Peyton Krebs, they drafted Cody Glass, I mean, they aren’t a bad drafting team. They just trade players away in order to acquire players who have already reached their full potential.

Now, although those players are no longer apart of the Golden Knights organization, there are still some very talented players here. So, let’s take a look at some of the Golden Knights players who you should keep an eye on in the upcoming years.
