Vegas Picks Familiar Face for New Coach

Vegas Golden Knights shake things up by naming Ryan Craig, a first-time NHL head coach, as their new leader — a bold move that breaks from their tradition of hiring proven NHL veterans. Craig, 44, has been with the organization since day one, rising through the ranks as an assistant, learning from legends like Gallant, DeBoer, and Cassidy, and even helping win the 2023 Stanley Cup. After guiding the AHL’s Henderson Silver Knights for three seasons, he’s now tasked with leading the NHL team — a gamble rooted in deep organizational knowledge and a proven track record of developing talent. Vegas is betting that Craig’s insider perspective and championship-caliber experience will be the key to their next big win. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
