Cassidy speaks on whether Marner and Eichel will be linemates
Bruce Cassidy, appearing on the Morning Take Podcast, said he is hoping Mitch Marner and Jack Eichel have chemistry. He said it's too had to tell in July. One of the biggest questions looming is whether the two superstars will be on the same line. Cassidy said they will have an opportunity to play together sooner or later. He also hinted that Marner might play some with other centers Tomas Hertl or William Karlsson. As we await the NHL schedule, hopefully on July 16th, we feel Mitch Marner will bring TV ratings and perhaps more national television appearances for VGK. Cassidy also said he saw a draft of the schedule and he said VGK will probably play Toronto on the road early in the season. And, VGK signs depth defenseman Lukas Cormier to an extension.

What would VGK give up for Andersson?
The Golden Knights are still in the hunt for Rasmus Andersson, the Calgary defenseman who is going into his final contract season.

He said the players, coaches and front office were upset after losing to the rival Oilers. And VGK signed depth pieces, Raphael Lavoie, Jonas Rondbjerg, and Cole Schwindt to one-year contracts.

Marner Monday: Marner will help team points production
How will VGK replace 132 points from this past season? It shouldn't be difficult with the addition of Mitch Marner. Yes, some players had career seasons this past campaign, but with Marner and Jack Eichel in the lineup consistently, the stats should continue to improve. Tony said it wouldn't be far-fetched to believe that Marner could have an 80+ assist season. Plus, VGK will be putting more pucks on net this season than last with Cassidy's new offensive design. There are reports Nic Hague turned down a trade to Calgary for Defenseman Rasmus Andersson because he didn't want to sign a long term deal. And, Olofsson and Samsonov are still out there in free agency.

What opening day lineup might look like
Now that Mitch Marner is a member of the Golden Knights, does Kelly McCrimmon add more pieces around him? Is VGK set at the wing positions with the addition of Marner? What line will Marner start on? Does VGK need another offensive defenseman? Still some questions remain. And by McCrimmon's body language, he doesn't seem overly happy that Akira Schmid is the backup goaltender. If VGK invested in Marner long-term, they need to make sure every position is improved from last season. We also talk about Kaeden Korczak's four-year extension and his increased role on this Golden Knights blueline.

Marner to Vegas is a done deal!
