The Vegas Golden Knights have claimed a former top 15 pick from a recent draft off of waivers.

Vegas Claims Denisenko

It was just announced that the Vegas Golden Knights have claimed forward Grigori Denisenko off of waivers from the Florida Panthers.

Vegas claims Denisenko

Denisenko was the 15th overall pick back in 2018 but has yet to stick completely at the NHL level. If he can find his grove with Vegas, he will certainly be valuable and potentially even a top-six player.
