Golden Knights' Jake Bischoff: Not expected at training camp
Rotowire
Bischoff (undisclosed) is not expected to participate in training camp, David Schoen of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
The nature of Bischoff's injury is unclear, but it's apparently serious enough to keep him off the ice for approximately the next month. The defenseman has just four NHL games to his name at 27 years old, so he would have been a long-shot to make the Golden Knights' Opening Night roster anyway. Instead, he'll likely spend most of 2021-22 with AHL Henderson.

Golden Knights' Jake Bischoff: Called up to NHL
Rotowire
Bischoff was recalled from AHL Chicago on Friday.
Vegas suffered a shocking 4-1 defeat at the hands of the Coyotes on Thursday, and it looks like the young club is trying to find the right balance with Nate Schmidt (lower body) out of commission. Bischoff is physical with the potential to produce offense in spurts; his resume includes 68 points (17 goals, 51 assists) over 139 games with the University of Minnesota.

Golden Knights' Jake Bischoff: Inks three-year deal
Rotowire
Bischoff signed a three-year, $2.15 million contract with Vegas on Tuesday.
Bischoff has yet to break into the NHL after two seasons in the minors, but apparently has shown the organization enough to warrant a multi-year deal. The University of Minnesota product won't provide much offensively, which limits his fantasy value, but he could still become a solid, shutdown defender for the Knights.

Golden Knights' Jake Bischoff: Receives QO from Vegas
Rotowire
Bischoff was handed a qualifying offer by the Golden Knights on Tuesday, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.
The 24-year-old never got on the ice for an NHL game in 2018-19 and only found the scoresheet 13 times in 60 games with AHL Chicago, so Bischoff's future is all but decided. Regardless of where he winds up playing, relying on Bischoff for fantasy production is not advisable under any circumstances. At this point, he is a depth defenseman at the NHL level, and those types of players offer little-to-no value in fantasy.
