So you've seen who the most important wingers were in Vegas Golden Knights history. You know that Mark Stone and Jonathan Marchessault carried the unit and have done immaculate work scoring goals. Easy work.
You've also seen that the most important goaltender is Marc-Andre Fleury. He set the benchmark for the Golden Knights, showing the netminders what it takes to be part of the NHL's best. There was nobody who did it better than Flower, especially when it came to getting the franchise off on the right foot.
Finally, you've had the passionate debate about who the most important Golden Knights center was. Some fans will say that William Karlsson holds that title, while others will say Jack Eichel. Regardless, it's a good debate that will get social media rumbling.
Guess what, dear reader? I have one more debate for you. That involves the most important Golden Knights defensemen of all time. You probably know who these names are. Heck, you can even rotate some of the names into the Top Three. But let's see who the three most important Golden Knights defensemen are, eh?
3.) Brayden McNabb
Brayden McNabb has been arguably the most important defensive defenseman in Golden Knights history. He has the most defensive point shares in franchise history (36.8) and even has the best plus/minus (137). But that's not all McNabb has going for him.
The Original Misfit has also played the most games as a Golden Knights, appearing in 647 games with the franchise. He's essentially the Iron Man of the Golden Knights' organization, stepping in when the organization called for him to appear.
2.) Alex Pietrangelo
Sometimes, there's a move that propels you to the championship. It can come in the form of getting a big-name star or adding the best player at its respective position. For the Golden Knights, that happened to be Alex Pietrangelo.
The two-time Stanley Cup champion provided Vegas with a solid 1D to pair with Alec Martinez, leading them to the 2023 Stanley Cup. he also has 148 assists and 720 blocked shots during his five-year Vegas residency. All of this makes him the missing piece that led Vegas to a fulfilled promise.
1.) Shea Theodore
Do me a favor, dear reader. I want you to take a guess as to who has the most all-time point shares in Vegas Golden Knights history. No, it's not Jonathan Marchessault, nor is it William Karlsson, Jack Eichel, or Mark Stone.
It's Shea Theodore, who has 65.3 point shares in his illustrious Golden Knights career. Not only can you argue that the Original Misfit is the most important defenseman in franchise history, but you can argue that he's the most important Golden Knights player outright.
