After a trade earlier this week with Buffalo, the Golden Knights welcomed their new star to Las Vegas in style.

The Golden Knights traded Alex Tuch, Peyton Krebs, and two conditional picks for Jack Eichel and a conditional pick earlier this week. On Sunday, Vegas welcomed their new forward the only way Vegas knows how to, with plenty of extra noise and fan fare.

The Golden Knights brought out their drummers and a couple dancers to greet the 25-year-old who looks to build off a great start to his career.

Eichel was looking for a trade after the Sabres reportedly wanted him to get a neck fusion surgery, but Jack was looking at other ways to heal his neck.

Eichel is set to miss some time after his surgery, but expects to see the ice for the Golden Knights later this season.

The Golden Knights are currently 6-6 through their first 12 games of the season.
