The odd situation between the Vegas Golden Knights and forward Vadim Shipachyov took another twist yesterday. It was reported by Bob McKenzie of TSN that the Knights gave Shipachyov and his agent permission to seek a trade out of Vegas.
The Russian was assigned to the Chicago Wolves of the AHL for the second time this season after playing only three games, in which he scored one goal. It was surprising when it happened prior to the season happening as many just thought it was a paper transaction. However, when he didn’t return until October 15th some eyebrows were raised.
