Good morning, folks. I hope you all enjoyed your holiday weekend. The Vegas Golden Knights kept busy; on Sunday, they announced they\u2019d re-signed three Restricted Free Agent forwards to one-year contracts.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Elsewhere in the Daily Nuggets, the Colorado Avalanche\u00a0were forced\u00a0to part ways with Charlie Coyle to get Miles Wood\u2019s contract off the books. The Pittsburgh Penguins are looking to get worse, and trading Rickard Rakell will\u00a0certainly\u00a0help with that. The New Jersey Devils are still looking to add a top-six winger\u2013 maybe that\u2019s why they\u2019re dangling Dougie Hamilton as trade bait.<\/p>\n
Golden Knights News<\/p>\n
On Sunday, the Golden Knights announced that they\u2019d signed Restricted Free Agent forwards Rapha\u00ebl Lavoie, Jonas R\u00f8ndbjerg, and Cole Schwindt to one-year contracts. There\u2019s no guarantee any of them will see consistent NHL ice time, but they\u2019re all\u00a0excellent 13th forwards<\/a>.<\/p>\n ICYMI:\u00a0Las Vegas is one of the greatest cities in the world. From the constant entertainment to the wealth of great food, everyone loves Sin City. Of course, that isn\u2019t the reason why players want to join the Golden Knights. The winning pedigree draws players in, but that\u2019s not the only reason that the Golden Knights are a\u00a0destination team<\/a>.<\/p>\n NHL News, Rumors, & National Hockey Now<\/p>\n Sportsnet:\u00a0All the big-name Free Agents are off the board, but a few depth players are still in search of a home\u2014for example, Jack Roslovic. The journeyman forward has recently\u00a0been linked\u00a0to the\u00a0Toronto Maple Leafs<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Athletic ($):\u00a0With all the high-profile players off the board, all eyes turn to the 2026 Free Agency class, headlined by Connor McDavid, Jack Eichel, and Kirill Kaprizov. Will they, or any of the\u00a0other talents<\/a>, make it\u00a0to July 1st?<\/p>\n Colorado Hockey Now:\u00a0The Avalanche pulled off a tidy bit of business when they got Miles Wood\u2019s contract off the books. Yes, they had to\u00a0sweeten the deal<\/a>\u00a0with Charlie Coyle, but the cap flexibility was worth it.<\/p>\n New Jersey Hockey Now:\u00a0With their need for a top-six winger and third-line center, the Devils have an all-too crucial offseason ahead of them. The intrigue only grows after Elliotte Friedman reported that the Devils are\u00a0shopping Dougie Hamilton<\/a>.<\/p>\n Philly Hockey Now:\u00a0After a slam-dunk draft, the Flyers needed to keep the ball rolling in Free Agency. Instead, it was a mixed bag. They filled positions of need, but took two steps back by handing out a few\u00a0unfathomable contracts<\/a>.<\/p>\n Pittsburgh Hockey Now:\u00a0There\u2019s only one team in the league that isn\u2019t actively trying to get better, and that\u2019s the Penguins. With all the big-name Free Agents off the board, all eyes turn to Rickard Rakell. In terms of a Rakell trade, it\u2019s a matter of\u00a0when and where<\/a>.<\/p>\n Detroit Hockey Now:\u00a0Hockey isn\u2019t cheap, and neither is attending college. Red Wings goaltending prospect Rudy Guimond had to turn down the\u00a0opportunity of a lifetime<\/a>\u00a0due to financial difficulties.<\/p>\n FOR MORE GOLDEN KNIGHTS NEWS AND UP-TO-DATE COVERAGE, VISIT\u00a0VEGAS HOCKEY NOW<\/a>\u00a0AND LIKE OUR\u00a0FACEBOOK PAGE<\/a>.<\/p>\n FOLLOW US ON\u00a0\ud835\udd4f:<\/p>\n @VegasHockeyNow<\/a>
