Have you ever dealt with someone who was a complete pain in the arse? Like, no matter who you get, you can't get past them? The Vegas Golden Knights have dealt with this problem against the Los Angeles Kings, where even grabbing Mitch Marner for the long term hasn't done much.
You see, the Kings have won four straight against the Golden Knights. Vegas's last win against Los Angeles came on October 22, 2024, when the Golden Knights blew the Kings out of the water, 6-1. Okay, it was Lake Mead. But the point still stands.
