Las Vegas' unnamed NHL franchise has its first director of hockey operations.
The club announced Monday the hiring of Misha Donskov, who joins the franchise after a stint with Hockey Canada.
Donskov is a good hire. Bright, young guy who is open to using data to help with decisions. Nice complement to management Vegas has so far.

Donskov previously spent time as an associate coach and assistant general manager in the OHL with the Ottawa 67s and London Knights. He's also been involved in player development for the Columbus Blue Jackets and now defunct Atlanta Thrashers.
General manager George McPhee continues to put his stamp on his team. Here are his recent hires:
