Eakin was reportedly selected by the Golden Knights, per Jim Toth of TSN 1290.

EDGE Analysis

After missing the start of the season, Eakin struggled to find his scoring touch as he registered a paltry three goals and nine helpers in 60 outings. No doubt general manager George McPhee will be hoping the center returns to his 2015-16 form in which he garnered 35 points. Even if the 26-year-old can rediscover his game, he likely won't see as much of ice time that he did last year with Dallas -- 16:49 per game.
