With many teams suffering from multiple injuries including the Vegas Golden Knights, they may be looking to add at the deadline.
GMs Under Pressure to Make Deals at the 2023 Trade Deadline
With Mark Stone being out indefinitely due to his back injury, the Golden Knights will be looking to add a piece and the Blackhawks may be that trading partner.
The price might be high for someone like Patrick Kane, but given how stretched the team is on talent, McCrimmon will really have to make the money work. This will include having to utilize LTIR to make the cap work, along with sending back draft capital, but McCrimmon cannot afford to miss the playoffs again, like last year.
Golden Knights would have a first line of
Marchessault - Eichel - Kane
You never know Mark Stone on your second with William Karlsson can be a game changer in the playoffs!
Who would be a better fit for the Golden Knights? The Blackhawks have Kane available, but so is Domi and Athanasiou.
