- Vegas Golden Knights prospect Joe Fleming is changing positions. SinBin Vegas’ Ken Boehlke reports that the plan for Fleming moving forward is for him to play forward, not defense. The 22-year-old manned the blueline for the AHL’s Henderson Silver Knights last season, and played in the 2024 ECHL All-Star game as a defenseman. Silver Knights coach Ryan Craig told the media that they envision the physical Fleming to be a “force below the hash marks” as a forward, and Fleming told the media that he is “excited” for the chance to play in his new position. Fleming is entering the final season of his entry-level contract and carries a league-minimum $775k NHL cap hit alongside an $82.5k AHL salary.
