Summary
Ryan Craig, the Vegas Golden Knights’ new head coach, brings a deep legacy to the role—having coached alongside them to a Stanley Cup win in 2023 and previously guiding their AHL affiliate. At 44, Craig’s blend of on-ice experience, including nearly 200 NHL games as a player, and proven leadership make him a natural successor to John Tortorella, whose interim run led Vegas to the Stanley Cup Final. Tortorella, a seven-time NHL coach with over 700 wins and a Cup, departs leaving only the Oilers without a head coach. The Knights honor his impact while turning their focus to Craig’s vision for the future. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
