Maxx Crosby, defensive end
The Vegas Golden Knights have prided themselves on building a stout blue line that could stop any opposing offense. Their philosophy is emphasizing the forecheck through various means, whether that's delivering punishing checks or stealing the puck.
Defensive end Maxx Crosby would be a nice addition to that blue line, for he knows something about hitting people. During his Las Vegas Raiders tenure, he's totaled 52 sacks and 321 combined tackles. The Eastern Michigan University alum has made his living off crunching quarterbacks like Patrick Mahomes, making their lives miserable.
The defensive end would bring a physical bite to the forecheck, delivering brutal hip checks to unsuspecting opponents. Mix in speed and agility and he would fit in with Vegas easily. Yes, the Golden Knights have plenty of defensemen in the mix now. But there are other reasons why he'd fit.
He's 6'5" and 255 lbs., which would make him a solid addition defensively. Crosby and Nic Hague would be tough to surpass, for they have both size and speed. Imagine being Connor Bedard and seeing the two towering defensemen standing before you. Now that's a frightening sight.
