Yes, I know it's July (specifically Independence Day). I know that hockey is a few months away, meaning these hot temperatures will go away soon. However, it's never too early to start thinking about the 2025-26 season.
You see, hockey is a good kind of addiction. It leaves you waiting for cooler temperatures to come in as you wait outside T-Mobile Arena. You can't wait for John Wick Mode to play with the Vegas Vivas strutting down your section. It's what makes being a Vegas Golden Knights fan cool.
What's even cooler is the upcoming addition of Mitch Marner. The former Maple Leafs star (27 goals and 102 points) adds a much-needed top-line winger for Vegas, giving Jack Eichel another weapon at his disposal.
With all this coolness, let's sort everything out. It's time to complete the puzzle and see who should fit where. You can go ahead and respectfully disagree with this (if you wish). After all, today's Independence Day and that's your right as an American (if you're American, of course. If you're Canadian, you have the same right).
Besides, Bruce Cassidy will likely change them up during the season. Therefore, the lines are made up and the lines don't matter. Here's a personal draft of what the Golden Knights lines should look like for the upcoming season.
