Inside the Golden Knights’ Playbook: Shocking Moves That Could Redefine the NHL Season
When it comes to the Vegas Golden Knights, the summer is shaping up to be anything but dull. Word on the street, thanks to James Mirtle of The Athletic, is that there’s serious buzz around how far Vegas might push to land Mitch Marner. Imagine the chessboard: a three-way dance where Marner lands in Vegas, Mikko Rantanen heads to Toronto, and pieces shuffle over to Carolina. The catch? It seems like Vegas and Carolina just couldn’t nail down the details, and it’s still unclear if Marner even entertained waiving his no-trade clause. On the flip side, the Golden Knights might jettison William Karlsson to free up some cap breathing room — his $5.9 million cap hit for the next two years isn’t small potatoes.
Then there’s the chatter from Chris Johnston on The Chris Johnston Show, highlighting the “many moving parts” swirling around Vegas right now. From the unsettled status of Nic Hague to the critical contract talks surrounding Jack Eichel, the team’s summer looks like a whirlwind of big decisions and possible shakeups. You can practically feel the tension and the looming potential for significant roster moves — because this gang doesn’t just aim to make the playoffs; they’re chasing that Stanley Cup dream every single year.
So, if you’re wondering what Vegas will be up to off the ice, buckle up — this offseason promises some intrigue and, likely, more twists than a High Roller ride.
What will the Vegas Golden Knights be up to?
James Mirtle of The Athletic: Vegas Golden Knights – There is some speculation as to how aggressive the Golden Knights will be with Mitch Marner. Sources say there was some Marner to Golden Knights trade talk at the deadline in a three-way deal – Marner to Vegas, Mikko Rantanen to Toronto, and pieces to Carolina. It’s not known if Marner was asked to waive for Vegas or how far along talks got, but it sounded like Vegas and Carolina couldn’t work out the pieces. Vegas could move William Karlsson to clear up cap space – two years left at $5.9 million.
