Patches and swaps

Justin Emerson and Case Keefer analyze a 3-1 week for the Vegas Golden Knights powered by Max Pacioretty. They also discuss what was at the time the possibility of a Taylor Hall trade to the Arizona Coyotes. The deal was finalized a couple hours after recording.

An eventful stretch of Golden Knights’ hockey saw winger Max Pacioretty earn the NHL’s first star, a rival land a prized trade target and the two teams climbing to a near-deadlock atop the Pacific Division standings.

The latest episode of Vegas Golden Podcast, presented by the Credit One Bank Vegas Born card, discusses it all. Justin Emerson and Case Keefer start by talking about the importance of the Golden Knights’ getting back to their dominance at T-Mobile Arena before wading into the trade waters.

Vegas’ acquisition of Chandler Stephenson from the Washington Capitals seems to be working out, but former Hart Memorial Trophy winner Taylor Hall’s move to the Arizona Coyotes could change everything. This episode, the first of two this week, was recorded a few hours before the Coyotes finalized the deal.  

Keefer and Emerson also look at the Golden Knights’ next two games, against the Wild and the Canucks, to determine if they can keep rolling.
