Ladies and gentlemen, we've hit the dead period. That's right, it's boring time in the hockey universe where nothing literally happens. I mean, you had an Original Misfit retire after 10 seasons in the NHL. But that's about it.
So... How's your day going? What are you doing for the weekend?
Me? I'm planning on volunteering and playing with the animals at Hearts Alive Village. Then, it's projects galore as I'm working on podcast stuff and articles. You can say that I lived a charmed life. Sort of.
Anyway, let's dive into what came out of the woodworks this past week. Again, an Original Misfit hung up his skates for good while another Golden Knight is struggling to put it together. Therefore, he must show something in his last contractual year or face the chopping block from Kelly McCrimmon.
Brad Hunt calls it a career after playing for the Vegas Golden Knights
After 10 seasons in the NHL, one Original Misfit decided to hang up his skates for good. No, it's not Marc-Andre Fleury since he's already retired. It's also not David Perron since he's looking for a new deal (or literally any deal at this point).
Instead, it was Brad Hunt, who was part of the Misfit team that went to the Stanley Cup Final in the inaugural season. He scored five goals and 20 assists during his two-year Vegas residency, making him a reliable lower-tier defenseman. Here's to retirement, Mr. Hunt. Hopefully, you can relax and watch the Golden Knights (hopefully) win another Stanley Cup.
The all-time lists are wrapped up for the Vegas Golden Knights
Here at Fansided on the Golden Knights ntwork (yes, it's Vegas Hockey Knight), we wrapped up the four-part series involving the most important players of all-time. Fans had their respective debates about who mattered the most in franchise history.
That ranged from William Karlsson vs. Jack Eichel to which goaltenders mattered the most. It was good banter that heralded the team's fantastic nine-year start, with contributors from all around chipping in. Here's to many more!
Alexander Holtz's livelihood depends on a better showing with the Golden Knights
Many people thought that Alexander Holtz would help the Golden Knights after he was traded from the New Jersey Devils. They thought that a stellar 2023-24 season where he scored 16 goals and 12 assists would only get better.
Well, they were wrong.
Holtz hasn't come close to matching those numbers in two seasons with Vegas. He only has seven goals and 14 assists, relegating himself to playing for the Henderson Silver Knights. Considering that he's in the last year of his current deal (he's a restricted free agent after this upcoming season), he must put together a solid campaign. Otherwise, it's lights out for Holtz's Vegas residency.
