There is a lot of excitement around the NHL regarding expansion and the Vegas Golden Knights. It will be the first professional sports team for Las Vegas. However, there are obstacles for Vegas regarding NHL free agency and the upcoming entry draft.

Didn't Las Vegas have a CFL team at one time? Might have been a dream. LOL.

Yeah the CFL had American teams. It's weird first time you find that out considering how huge the NFL is nowadays. But, lets keep in mind that the AHL has Canadian teams, the OHL has American teams, The WHL has American teams etc.

I'm watching for Tavares to head to sin city in 2018.

Makes a lot of sense. Oodels of cap. Open captainship. Open 1C spot. His skating deficiencies won't matter as much in the west.

If they can sign Parenteau too, then it's just too perfect.

There was a second group pursuing that expansion Vegas franchise and, according to one of their group (Bob McCown) the name was going to be Knights.
