Tensions are running high within the Vegas Golden Knights organization as Head Coach Michael Sullivan has issued a stark ultimatum amidst a reported misunderstanding with star player Jason Stone. The rift, which has reportedly escalated over recent weeks, threatens to disrupt team chemistry and morale as the franchise prepares for the upcoming season.
Sources close to the team reveal that the discord between Sullivan and Stone centers on strategic differences and communication breakdowns, exacerbated by recent on-ice performance challenges.
