Mark Stone, RW (51) -- He led the Golden Knights in assists (42) and points per game (0.97; seventh among NHL right wings) in the regular season and their forwards in scoring during the postseason (17 points; seven goals, 10 assists in 20 games). Stone, a fixture on the top line and first power play, ranked second on Vegas in power-play points (17) in the regular season behind linemate Max Pacioretty (19). He is nearly a point-per-game player over the past three seasons combined (198 points in 200 games) and a safe fantasy pick in the third or fourth round who could benefit from exposure to Pietrangelo at even strength and on PP1.
Max Pacioretty, LW(53) -- He had the best points-per-game average of his NHL career (0.93) last season and was one of 12 players who finished with at least 30 goals (32; led Golden Knights) and 30 assists (34). He was also one of three players with at least 300 shots on goal (307); the others were Nathan MacKinnon of the Colorado Avalanche (318) and Alex Ovechkin of the Washington Capitals (311). Pacioretty led Vegas in points (66) and PPP (NHL career-high 19) and had strong totals in plus/minus (plus-18) and hits (90 in 71 games) to finish among the top 10 overall fantasy players (ninth in standard leagues). But Pacioretty lost some fantasy appeal after an underwhelming postseason (eight points; five goals, three assists in 16 games).
Marc-Andre Fleury, G(87) -- Despite becoming the backup to Lehner, Fleury contributed to the Golden Knights' run to the Western Conference Final, going 3-1-0 with a .910 save percentage in four postseason starts. Fleury leads active NHL goalies in wins (466) and ranks second in shutouts (61) behind Henrik Lundqvist (64) and is worth stacking with Lehner in the first six or seven rounds of a standard draft because the latter had offseason shoulder surgery. It's also worth noting Fleury has the most shutouts in the NHL (13) over the past two regular seasons combined.
