The Golden Knights lost a future draft selection after John Tortorella skipped his postgame media availability following a Game 6 win in Anaheim.
The NHL fined Golden Knights coach John Tortorella $100,000 and stripped Vegas of a draft pick for Tortorella's refusal to meet with the media after Game 6 of the Anaheim series. The penalty enforces the league's mandatory postgame media requirement, which applies to coaches regardless of game outcome.
Tortorella has a history of contentious relationships with media access. The draft-pick forfeiture marks an escalation beyond financial penalties and signals the NHL will enforce compliance through roster consequences.
