It is that time of the year where the hockey world will be dominated by trade talk, and the Vegas Golden Knights will be at the very heart of it.
In the market for a puck-moving defenseman, and maybe some depth scoring, the Golden Knights are going to be a major player between now and Feb. 24.
They may not send ripples through the hockey world like they did a year ago after pulling the trigger on a blockbuster trade for elite forward Mark Stone, but the Knights will be active.
And that’s why these next six weeks will be crucial for the front office and short-term outlook of this team going forward.
