Nicolas Hague won’t be in camp when the Golden Knights open up today
Jesse Granger of The Athletic: Vegas Golden Knights RFA defenseman Nicolas Hague isn’t expected to be at training camp when it opens today.
“We continue to have conversations (with the Golden Knights), but at this point it’s just not there yet,” Hague’s agent Murray Koontz of WD Sports & Entertainment told The Athletic on Wednesday. “We’re hopeful that something will get done, but unfortunately it’s not at the point where we’re confident that he’s going to be there.”
Hague trained this offseason in Vegas and is hopeful a deal can get done soon.
With Robin Lehner and Shea Weber on the LTIR, the Golden Knights will have about $2.62 million in cap space, and possibly an additional $1.2 million in Nolan Patrick is going to miss the season (a possibility according to Elliotte Friedman).
