The Vegas Golden Knights made a significant splash in the NHL offseason with the acquisition of Mitch Marner, enhancing their already formidable lineup. With expectations high following a second-round playoff exit last season, the team is determined to secure the Stanley Cup. NHL writer Adam Gretz predicts the Golden Knights will reclaim the championship in 2025-26, attributing their success to Marner's fresh environment away from intense scrutiny, allowing him to thrive alongside Jack Eichel.

This dynamic duo brings a potent offensive threat, but the Golden Knights' success will hinge on the entire roster maintaining strong performance throughout the season. With the right contributions, Vegas is poised for a championship run.
