DALLAS, TEXAS (June 23, 2018) - The Vegas Golden Knights made eight selections on the second and final day of the 2018 NHL Entry Draft at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas. The selections were announced by Vegas Golden Knights General Manager George McPhee.

Kelly McCrimmon sat in a Dallas restaurant Wednesday night and watched his team collect four awards. He soaked in the moment, reflected a bit and then told his scouting staff: let's get back to work.

While Golden Knights GM George McPhee was in Vegas for the NHL Awards Show, assistant GM McCrimmon was in Texas preparing for the NHL Entry Draft.

The Golden Knights collected four awards, including McPhee's GM of the Year nod, at the league's season end celebration.

For McCrimmon, who works hand in hand with McPhee running the club's hockey operations department, it was a happy moment and a nod to the fine work done by the people Vegas has assembled.

With the release of the 2018-19 NHL schedule, Vegas Golden Knights fans can start to channel their excitement into real games.

The Golden Knights will start their season on Oct. 4 against the Philadelphia Flyers as the team tries to complete a great encore to their historic inaugural season.

VEGAS (June 21, 2018) - The National Hockey League announced today, June 21, the Golden Knights 2018-19 regular season schedule. The full schedule can be found below (all times are Pacific). Regional and national broadcast information will be released at a later date.

July 1 is a big day on the NHL calendar as expiring contracts clock out and new ones can be registered. It's a day when GMs reveal their roster strategies for players within their own organization as well as the pursuit of players who hit the free agent market. 

There's still time for clubs, Vegas included, to lock up their own pending unrestricted free agents but the closer we get to July 1, the more likely it becomes a player will hit the market.

On June 24, pending UFAs can contact begin conversations with clubs other than their own and on June 26 pending restricted free agents can do the same.

Vegas Golden Knights head coach Gerard Gallant has captured the Jack Adams Award as "the NHL coach adjudged to have contributed the most to his team's success," as selected by the NHL Broadcasters' Association.

George McPhee of the Vegas Golden Knights is the 2017-18 winner of the NHL General Manager of the Year Award. Voting for this award was conducted among NHL Club General Managers and a panel of NHL executives, print and broadcast media at the conclusion of the Second Round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

Vegas Golden Knights defenseman Deryk Engelland is the recipient of the Mark Messier NHL Leadership Award, which is presented "to the player who exemplifies great leadership qualities to his team, on and off the ice, during the regular season and who plays a leading role in his community growing the game of hockey."

Vegas Golden Knights center William Karlsson has captured the Lady Byng Memorial Trophy, awarded "to the player adjudged to have exhibited the best type of sportsmanship and gentlemanly conduct combined with a high standard of playing ability," as selected by the Professional Hockey Writers Association.

One year ago, the Vegas Golden Knights were the main attraction at the NHL Awards Show. They're threatening to steal the show tonight, as well.
