One thing that has become apparent since the Vegas Golden Knights entered the NHL in 2017 is the fact that the front office will make aggressive moves if they feel it will strengthen the team.
They did it in 2017-18 by trading for Tomas Tatar and Ryan Reaves to add depth to a roster that made a miraculous roster all the way to the Stanley Cup Final in the franchise’s inaugural year.
The front office tandem of George McPhee and Kelly McCrimmon then upped the ante last year by executing huge trades for stars in the ilk of Max Pacioretty and Mark Stone.
