On Monday evening, the Dallas Stars finalized a deal that sent recently-drafted goaltending prospect Dylan Ferguson and a second-round Entry Draft selection in 2020 to the newly-christened Vegas Golden Knights in exchange for stay-at-home defenseman Marc Methot.
Vegas and general manager George McPhee have been sending the defensemen they have selected in the Expansion Draft since last Thursday’s Trevor van Riemsdyk and David Schlemko movements. Since they grabbed 13 defensemen and traded for two more when their team – the 31st in the National Hockey League – was initially built on June 21st, their blueline is far too full.
