The Vegas Golden Knights are somewhat quietly the best team in the NHL right now. The 2023 Stanley Cup champions currently sit atop the league with a 27-9-3 record and 57 points. This comes despite losing several key players this summer due to salary cap restraints, including Jonathan Marchessault, Chandler Stephenson, and Logan Thompson.
The Golden Knights have been especially hot of late, racking up eight wins in their last nine games to catapult themselves up the standings.
We know how aggressive Vegas has been in its eight-year existence, consistently making big splashes at the NHL trade deadline. On Tuesday, Ray Ferraro of ESPN talked about what he believes the Golden Knights' trade deadline plans will be on the "Ray and Dregs hockey podcast."
"103 percent. Kelly with Cap space. And the need is, like, a free day in the summer that I could go play golf, and I'm gonna say I could go or not, because, of course, I'm going to play like, there's no like Vegas is, statistically, they are one of the top two teams right? They might be one, they might be two at this point," Ferraro said.
