GOLDEN KNIGHTS SELECT (F) BRENDAN BRISSON WITH THE 29TH PICK IN THE 2020 NHL DRAFT

With their first selection in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft the Golden Knights selected Brendan Brisson from the Chicago Steel of the USHL. He’s a 5’11” forward who is most known for his playmaking skill.

Brisson is a naturally gifted winger, who blends some of the best hockey sense available in this class with high-end skill. His playmaking can be as dynamic as his slapshot. A shot doesn’t mean much if he doesn’t have the spatial awareness to take advantage of it, but Brisson is gifted at turning himself into a back-door passing option or cycling into a soft area where he can receive the puck. -NHL Black Book

Brisson is the son of hockey agent Pat Brisson who represents Jonathan Marchessault and Nic Roy. He grew up in Los Angeles and has played in the USHL since 2018. Brisson is committed to attend the University of Michigan.

"We're extremely excited about the player we selected, Brendan Brisson. One of the things that excites us is his trajectory, he's really shown improvement over the last two years. Our scouts are really excited about how high his ceiling can be." -McCrimmon
— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) October 7, 2020

"Growing up with a father in the business having (NHL players) in the house was just a normal thing for me." -Brisson
Went on to say he didn't realize how important it was for his development until he got a bit older.

Brisson on his father's client Jonathan Marchessault
"I haven't met him but I've heard a lot of good things about him. I love the way he shoots the puck. He's not the biggest guy but he's always getting into those areas. He's a player that I would like to model my game after."

GOLDEN KNIGHTS SIGN ROBIN LEHNER TO 5-YEAR $25M DEAL

In Breaking News

Goaltender Robin Lehner has put pen to paper and signed a 5-year, $25 million extension to stay with the Vegas @GoldenKnights. Announcement expected later today.
Lehner was No. 5 on #TSNHockey’s Top 75 free agents list. #FreeAgentFrenzy
— Frank Seravalli (@frank_seravalli) October 3, 2020

"It's obviously been a pretty emotional day for me and my family. I'd like to thank Bill Foley, McCrimmon, and the Golden Knights for working this out for me." -Robin Lehner
— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) October 3, 2020

"This has been a real interesting journey for Robin. I know he was really anxious for stability." -Kelly McCrimmon
McCrimmon said the $5 million AAV and the 5-years were equally as valuable to Robin.
— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) October 3, 2020

"It was one of the oddities at the Expansion Draft that we asked ourselves 'who is our next goalie?'… We just never ever found that guy and this has given us the chance to solidify the position." -McCrimmon
— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) October 3, 2020

McCrimmon says there was never an "ah-ha" moment that told them that they needed to keep Robin. More so that it was a collection of everything from his play to the goalie landscape around the league.
— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) October 3, 2020

"I understand how our fans feel about Marc-Andre Fleury. He's been the face of the franchise. It's really challenging as a manager you need to always be doing what's in the best interest of your team. That's what I've done." -McCrimmon
— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) October 3, 2020

Lehner has a modified no trade clause in his contract.
McCrimmon would not confirm the exact number of teams but it is NOT a full no-trade clause.
— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) October 3, 2020

"As a manager you need to always be doing what's in the best interest of your team. That's what I've done. We have a ton of respect for Marc-Andre Fleury. We will try to make good decisions here as we move along…
— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) October 3, 2020

"I know what I'm going to do. I know how I'm going to perform. And I think this stability will make me play even better. The cards are in my hand and it's up to me on how to play them. That's all I ask for." -Lehner on stability without a no-trade clause
— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) October 3, 2020

"What I've said here (in Vegas) is there's no politics. It's a no-politics team. What I've seen with other teams is that it's not always the best guy that plays." -Lehner

The Golden Knights have traded Brandon Pirri to the Chicago Blackhawks in exchange for 5’11” 25-year-old forward Dylan Sikura.

Sikura was a 6th round pick in the 2014 NHL Draft and has played 47 NHL games scoring one goal.

View this post on Instagram
The Golden Knights have traded Brandon Pirri to Chicago for F Dylan Sikura. Sikura has scored 1 goal in 47 career NHL games. He will likely become a Silver Knight. As for Pirri, the writing has been on the wall for a while. VGK appealed to him for 2 main reasons. First, if he wasn't in the NHL (where he wants to be) he would be playing in Chicago, where his family lives. With VGK moving their AHL team to Henderson, that's no longer the case. Second, he had a connection with Gerard Gallant. Pirri gets what he wants, VGK get a useable AHLer in return.

The Golden Knights announced today that Jack Dugan signed a two-year entry-level contract.

Dugan was selected in the 5th round of the 2017 Draft and has played at Providence College the past two seasons. He led the NCAA in points in 2019 and was widely considered one of the best players in college hockey.

He is currently the #2 ranked skater on the SinBin.vegas Prospect Rankings.

Been waiting a long time for this dream to come true! Blessed to have such a great support system that has allowed me to get to this point. Thank you to everyone who has helped me along this journey. pic.twitter.com/vUaMDg5zZM
— Jack Dugan (@JackDugan8) July 16, 2020

It was a unique situation. For me I knew what I wanted to do at the end of my college season. I knew I wanted to sign or join or whatever with the Vegas Golden Knights, I knew that’s where I wanted to be. We were kind of taking it in stride and seeing what was going to happen. -Dugan

McCrimmon says they knew before the end of the 2017 Development Camp that Jack Dugan was a player that should have been drafted much earlier than the 5th round.
They certainly still believe it now after he led the NCAA in points.
