Vegas Golden Knights

Last season Coyotes record against Vegas (2-0-1)

In my opinion, this is the team to beat in the Pacific Division. I see no reason why the Vegas Golden Knights will not return to the postseason and reek havoc. The most confusing thing about the Golden Knights used to be how they aren’t the Las Vegas Golden Knights, not it is all their cap space drama.
Vegas is a very deep team, with players like Mark Stone and Max Pacioretty to help lead the team offensively, then you factor in a goalie like Marc-Andre Fleury and boom you have a Pacific Division winner.

Of course, I have been wrong before and will be wrong again. Vegas is big and has the skill, that is a playoff-type of the team no matter where they fall in the seeding. I know this is looking way too far ahead and down the road but the Vegas Golden Knights are not the team I want to see Arizona play in the first round.
