NHL Rumor: Five Potential Destinations for Las Vegas Golden Knights and Nazem Cardry
Does the Vegas Golden Knights need help for Adin Hill?
Michael Amato from Sportsnet
The Las Vegas Golden Knights may still need to address their goalkeepers this offseason. Adin Hill is their starter, but their current backup is Akira Schmid. Schmid has only 48 NHL experience and is inconsistent.
Hill had a career-high 50 games last season, and his number fell in the playoffs. The Golden Knights have little hat room, and even if the Pittsburgh penguins are to stay on Tristan Jarry, they have a hard time making it work. The Golden Knights’ blue line may also retreat a year as they don’t have Alex Pietrangelo (injured) and Nic Hague (in exchange for the Predators).

Five potential destinations for Calgary Flame
Ryan Dixon from Sportsnet
Teams looking for a second-tier center may be looking at Calgary Flames forward Nazem Kadri. Kadri is about to score a career-high 35-goal season and eliminated one season from a 75-point year.
He will be 35 in October and Flames really want to trade him because they hope their modifications will bring them back to the playoffs next season? His contract has four years left for $7 million, and there is a totally no moving clause. Next July, NMC switches to 13 teams without trade.
Montreal Canadaens – enjoyed the 2C market throughout the offseason and prepared the NHL-prepared draft picks and prospects.
New Jersey Devil – Can be inserted on the third line and offer some advantages that they can use more. Coach Sheldon Keefe has become familiar with Kadri since his time in Toronto. Will the flames be interested in 23-year-old Dawson Mercer?
Carolina Hurricane – Some help can be used in the middle and increase salary cap space. They have been working hard to be proactive.
Colorado Avalanche – Back to Colorado? They re-signed Brock Nelson, but maybe they could move him to the wing. Given their cap situation, long shots. Can both parties expand the deal to something bigger and attract Martin Necas? One question is, NECAS may focus on unrestricted free agents after next season, and can the Flame convince him to stay?
NHL Rumor: Connor McDavid and Kirill Kaprizov
Toronto Maple Leafs – Leafs have no first-round picks for the next two years. Nick Kypreos points out that reunion seems unlikely. GM Brad Treliving had no luck trying to trade with his former team because they only beat him.
