I know this board is not the place for what just happened in Vegas. But what a crappy thing to happen to the Knights just as they are beginning. Lousy way to start. I know I shouldn't feel too bad for them and be more concerned for the people effected by this event but you know what I mean.
It's so sad. How does a guy get an arsenal like that into a hotel room? Such a senseless act to say the least.

The whole situation in Vegas this week just sucks. For everyone. Maybe the team playing can provide a distraction and help people to get back to normal.

Finally, Reinhart will be given the required ice time needed to develop his overall game. In both NHL stops, he had too many veteran options (Travis Hamonic/Johnny Boychuk in New York and Adam Larsson/Kris Russell in Edmonton) ahead of him, which negated his growth as a player.
The writer is claiming top pairing defensemen were blocking Reinhart from making the NHL. The only thing blocking Reinhart from getting a chance anywhere was he wasn't good enough to even push 3rd pairing and 7th dmen out of the way.
Normally, a writer’s knowledge would be questioned if they suggested a player with only 37 games of NHL experience could have a key role in the upcoming 2017-18 season. But, I’m going to try to make the case for Griffin Reinhart, who has essentially been nothing more than a minor-leaguer in his brief professional hockey career.
However, Reinhart has been given a fresh start by the Vegas Golden Knights after they selected him from the Edmonton Oilers in this summer’s NHL Expansion Draft. Now, it will be up to him to make an impact by forcing the issue in training camp. It’s his time to make an NHL roster and begin the path to becoming a top-four defenceman that all talent evaluators expected of him.
The Knights seem committed to giving Reinhart an opportunity as both sides quickly came to an agreement on a two-year deal with an AAV of $800,000 shortly after the expansion draft.
