Vegas also drew a $100,000 fine to coach John Tortorella after declining postgame interviews following Game 6 vs. Anaheim.
The NHL fined the Golden Knights a 2026 draft pick and fined head coach John Tortorella $100,000 for what the league called 'flagrant violations' of media policy. The penalties stemmed from the team's refusal to conduct postgame interviews after Vegas defeated Anaheim in Game 6.
The forfeited pick is the steepest regular punishment the league has imposed for a media compliance breach in recent seasons. Tortorella has drawn multiple fines during his tenure in Vegas for similar infractions.
