Alex Pietrangelo:

I think everybody agrees this is the best place to play in the NHL right now. Vegas is a difficult team to play against. Everyone knows their role, they’re well coached, they have good goaltending and good balance.

"People know what Vegas is for the Strip, but our visit gave us a good opportunity to see a different side of the city, see the facilities and I was really impressed."

"You look at the passion that these guys have for the city in such a short time, that was a draw for me. I want to come in and share that passion for the franchise. I want to commit to something and these guys are all committed to the city. That was certainly a draw for me."
