Ken was joined by Jesse Granger of The Athletic to chat all things Golden Knights prospects. We went through the prospect list using a few different qualifiers including NHL readiness, ceiling, and likelihood to play 100 NHL games.
Both Jesse and I have published Prospect Rankings. Mine are here, you can go to TheAthletic.com for Jesse’s.

We'll do a Periscope after the game on Monday to discuss the pair of games against Minnesota and look at what that matchup might look like in the playoffs.
Hint: No matter what happens Monday, I really like it for Vegas.

This really was the perfect get-right game for VGK. No question who was the better team all night long and against a team right up there with them at the top of the conference.
VGK absolutely ate John Klingberg alive on the 6-on-5 situation. Every time he got the puck they threw pressure at him and he cracked over and over leading to the empty netter. VGK win the first of the home and home.
This period was heading the wrong direction for a while at the start, but VGK have turned it around the last few minutes and are looking to extend the lead, not just sit on it.

Krebs is the kid I wanted us to be able to draft and we got only because of his injury. I had him at 6 before the injury. He has just about everything. Vision, speed, IQ and a complete 200 ft game. If not for the injury this kid might’ve started for a team this coming season.

Man, we had a pretty good draft for picking 17. Mason growing like a weed and losing some skills is no different than HS basketball players who are taller, it just takes time for the muscle memory to catch up , but it does eventually and the playernis usually at an even higher level.
