Nosek set to re-sign with Golden Knights

George Mcphee said during a news conference that all of the Golden Knights’ restricted free agents were tendered a qualifying offer before Monday’s deadline.

It turns out, that’s not the case.

Tomas Nosek did not receive a qualifying offer, but that’s because a deal between the 26-year-old bottom-six winger and the club is believed to be imminent. Nosek’s minimum qualifying offer would have been $1 million.

Mcphee, the incoming president of hockey operations, was not clear he was excluding nonroster players in his remark. The Knights, in fact, relinquished the rights to minor league goaltender Zach Fucale and minor league forwards Alex Gallant, Tomas Hyka and Tobias Lindberg.

Hyka signed with Traktor Chelyabinsk of the Kontinental Hockey League. process, and we talked about the situation and kind of laughed it off, which was awesome.”

Call to the Hall

Boston College hockey coach

Jerry York was elected to the Hockey Hall of Fame as part of a six-person class Monday, and Knights incoming president of hockey operations George Mcphee praised his former coach.

Mcphee played three seasons for York at Bowling Green from 1979 to 1982, winning the Hobey Baker Award as the nation’s top college hockey player as a senior. Mcphee’s son, Graham, is a member of the Boston College hockey team and will be a senior this fall.

“Coach York is living proof that nice guys can finish first. The nicest man in hockey deserves this incredible honor,” George Mcphee said. “He has been an invaluable mentor and leader for hockey players. The game of hockey has been enriched by Coach York’s lifetime in it.”
