Golden Knights’ Appeal Falls Flat on NHL Sanctions

Vegas went to the league hoping to shave down the punishment, and the answer came back exactly the way front offices hate it: no wiggle room. This has all the charm of a salary-cap meeting that runs long and ends badly. The appeal centered on the sanctions handed down by the NHL, and the Golden Knights are now stuck living with the original penalty. In this league, when the league office says the book is closed, it usually stays closed.
