3 potential team MVPs for the Vegas Golden Knights in 2024-25

Mark Stone

This list also wouldn't be complete without the Vegas Golden Knights captain, Mark Stone. The center has played a similar role to Jack Eichel offensively, only he doesn't score as many goals as the superstar center. Still, Stone makes up for it with quality two-way play, turning him into an all-around threat when healthy.

The Captain scored 16 goals and 53 points in 56 games last season, putting up solid production despite a ruptured spleen. That included 10 power play assists, where he kept the special teams unit afloat. Fans can expect a big season from Stone if he's on the ice for most (or all) of 82 games in 2024-25.

Seeing the forward play the full length of the season will be paramount to the Golden Knights exceeding expectations. Vegas lost a chunk of their scoring talent during the offseason, leaving them with less bite. But the upside is there, especially with younger players like Alexander Holtz and Brendan Brisson entering the mix. Still, that starts with Stone, who can take Vegas's offense to the next level if healthy.
