We’re rapidly approaching the Trade Deadline now and the Vegas Golden Knights will no doubt be hammering the phones and throwing their chips into the middle of the table, along with the rest of the NHL.
And the first big trade went down on Monday with the Penguins sending forward Alex Galchenyuk, prospect Calen Addison and a conditional first round pick in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft.
It was one of those rare win-win trades for both teams with Pittsburgh adding more firepower in the form of Zucker, while the Wild get back a high-end prospect and a draft pick to help aid their rebuild, in addition to an interesting reclamation project in Galchenyuk.
