Locked On Golden Knights - Daily Podcast On the Vegas Golden Knights

The NHL announced the salary cap for the upcoming season this past weekend, and it's slightly higher, by about $300k than originally projected. The cap will be $88-million this season, an increased of $4.5 million. The Golden Knights could use some of the additional cap money to pay UFA Jonathan Marchessault, if it so chooses. The team is cap-strapped currently. We also talk about the LTIR rules and whether GM's believe there should be a change. We talk Stanley Cup playoffs and the return of International Hockey rather than an all-star game.

VGK's impact on the Stanley Cup Final

VG's impact on the Florida-Edmonton SCF series - a couple of areas stand out to us that could be beneficial to either team. We remember Sean Burke's powerpoint presentation "How to beat Bobrovsky." In the presentation, the goalie coach found that Bob crouches to find pucks, so he told VGK to go top shelf. That's how Shea Theodore scored a goal in the opening game of last year's series. Also, the Panthers might take a page out of VGK's defense of Connor McDavid, with William Karlsson taking him out of his game. We also talk about VGK alums in the SCF. We have our predictions and we have WTF - What The Friday - comments from our viewers and listeners.
