The offseason is here, and a scorching summer is underway in Las Vegas. As the temperatures climb, the Golden Knights have some work to do to prepare for the 2019-20 regular season. The team front office also faces burning hot decisions with the salary cap.
The Golden Knights already had to make one trade that sent fan favorite Erik Haula to the Carolina Hurricanes. However, Vegas still needed more cap space to sign their restricted free agents and to potentially maneuver around on July 1st when unrestricted free agency opens. Unfortunately, the Golden Knights had to make a move that sent one of their best puck-moving defenseman out east.
