History shows the Golden Knights could land a good player when they select 19th overall at the NHL draft at The Sphere.

The Florida Panthers are Stanley Cup champions for the first time, and they took about the hardest path possible to the title.
Now that special events and live broadcasts are in the mix, it’s a whole new ballgame for Sphere.
The 2024 NHL draft should be full pizzazz with the event taking place Friday and Saturday at The Sphere. But here’s what to watch for when the picks start coming in.
The Panthers are -110 favorites at the Westgate SuperBook in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final at Florida. The total is 5½.
The parlay, which paid a whopping 22,670-1, was placed on Tuesday and included legs on the NHL, NBA, NFL, college basketball, college football and the LPGA Tour.
The Knights are now the +405 second choice at Circa Sports to win the Pacific Division behind the Edmonton Oilers (-160) and they’ve shot up as high as 15-1 at the South Point to win the Stanley Cup.
The Golden Knights and Colorado Avalanche are 5-1 co-favorites at the Westgate SuperBook to win the Stanley Cup. The Buffalo Sabres are the longest shots at 500-1.
Caesars Sportsbook is on the hook for $1 million-plus if the Seattle Kraken win the Stanley Cup, and BetMGM has a mid-six figure liability on the NHL expansion team.
Marc-Andre Fleury is the 10-1 second choice at Caesars Sports to win the Vezina behind Tampa Bay’s Andrei Vasilevskiy, the +450 favorite. Robin Lehner is tied for the eighth pick at 20-1.
Marc-Andre Fleury made a major impact on the Golden Knights. But the trade that sent him to the Chicago Blackhawks didn’t impact the team’s odds at Las Vegas sportsbooks.
The Westgate has installed the Golden Knights as the 5-1 co-favorites with the Avalanche to win the 2022 Stanley Cup. The Knights are the third choice at Station Casinos.
After eliminating the Colorado Avalanche in six games, the Golden Knights were installed as -500 series favorites over the Montreal Canadiens (+375) at Station Casinos.
After taking a 3-2 series lead over the Colorado Avalanche, the Golden Knights were made the Stanley Cup favorites at the Westgate, where Tampa Bay is the second choice.
William Hill suffered six-figure losses in each of the Golden Knights’ home wins over the Colorado Avalanche on Friday and Sunday. The Knights are +120 underdogs in Game 5.

Now that special events and live broadcasts are in the mix, it’s a whole new ballgame for Sphere.
The NHL draft is the latest marquee league event to hit Las Vegas since the Golden Knights began play seven years ago. The Sphere could make it a show to remember.
One of the Golden Knights’ pending unrestricted free agents told the French-language outlet RDS the team will not be re-signing him.
The Golden Knights will begin preseason play Sept. 22 when they face the San Jose Sharks and likely No. 1 overall pick Macklin Celebrini.
