Vegas Golden Knights sign two players today and fans are PISSED
For years now whenever there was a top free agent available, it was always rumoured that they were going to the Vegas Golden Knights. Well, this was the first offseason where the Golden Knights were not in on any of the big free agents and that's because they have no cap space to do it!
The 31st team to come into the NHL was forced to trade away Max Pacioretty to the Carolina Hurricanes just to free up some cap space yesterday. Pacioretty scored at nearly a point per game this past season when he wasn't out with an injury and only had one year left on a contract that paid him $7,000,000.
The Knights have been trying to go for the cup since their inaugural season and they've been moving in and out players year after year and fans are starting to get tired of it.
Today the Golden Knights made two signings and fans have been absolutely ripping into the Knights over it.

While these are not any blockbuster signings, they are decent depth pieces for the Knights, but the fans are not happy.
Are they gonna play on a line with Future Considerations? The one you got in return for Pacioretty?— SevenLeg (@SevenLegg) July 14, 2022

I can't wait until they become good and you have to trade them for nothing because you need cap space because you can't manage a team— James F. (@james_hockey61) July 14, 2022
