Marner to Vegas is a done deal!
The Golden Knights have acquired Mitch Marner via trade for VGK's Nic Roy. The terms reported at 8 years @ $12-million for the right winger who scored 102 points last season. He will team up with Jack Eichel either on the top line or the power play unit #1. We talk about where Marner would slot in this upcoming season and if VGK has another move in store as Free Agency officially begins Tuesday.

Hague traded; VGK closing in on Marner signing
It's the 11th Hour as we head toward the start of the NHL Free Agency period on July 1. VGK is closing in on signing Mitch Marner. There could be a sign and trade as the Maple Leafs look to get something in return for Marner. A report from Eliotte Friedman said that there could be tampering charges against VGK, so we are keeping an eye on that note. Nic Hague was traded to Nashville late Sunday night in return for defenseman Jeremy Lauzon and center Colton Sissons. Hague was a RFA. Lauzon and Sissons have one year remaining on their current contracts. And, it appears Alex Pietrangelo will need multiple surgeries over the summer and is expected to miss the entire upcoming season. We should receive the official news from VGK soon.

What will VGK's roster look like after this weekend?
This should be a big weekend for VGK. Not that they will be active in the NHL Draft, but Free Agency begins officially next Tuesday and the Golden Knights need to add more pieces to their roster. Of course, the big prize would be signing Mitch Marner, but VGK also has to sign some complimentary players. One of the latest Golden Knight names to surface as a trade piece was Nic Roy. We (take a wild) guess on VGK's Draft pick at #58. The new CBA will officially be announced Friday morning. And, it's WTF Day with fan comments.

According to reports, VGK is re-signing Reilly Smith and Brandon Saad. Smith, the original "Misfit" apparently will sign a one-year contract worth $2 million.

Saad signed for $1.5 million with VGK last season. He had 14 points in 29 games with the Golden Knights. There have not been any terms released as of press time. With the recent reported signings we discuss what we can read into the current roster reconstruction. Without any figures on Saad's reported signing, VGK has $7.6 million left in cap space.

Is VGK trying to move Hertl by July 1?
The Golden Knights might be trying to trade Tomas Hertl to clear cap space for a potential move to land free agent Mitch Marner. Free agency is just six days away and there was a lot of talk of Hertl to Carolina on Tuesday. It turns out that Hertl has a modified trade clause in which he can pick three teams he wants to get traded to effective July 1, the start of free agency. The Athletic's Pierre LeBrun said the Marner list is growing with VGK the most mentioned team where Marner will land. The others are Dallas, LA, Anaheim, Carolina and Columbus. We talk about center depth and who would replace Hertl or William Karlsson, whose name re-surfaced again Tuesday. And we talk about the players who will be entering the Hockey Hall of Fame.

Changes in the Pacific Division
We look at some of the changes already in the Pacific Division during the offseason. There have been six trades in the NHL so far this offseason and four have been in the division.

The latest move came on Monday, as Anaheim traded Trevor Zegras to Philadelphia for Ryan Poehling and two draft picks. We also talk about the three new head coaches in the division - Joel Quenneville in Anaheim, Lane Lambert will be behind the bench in Seattle, and Adam Foote moves up to head coach in Vancouver. We also have our picks for breakthrough teams this season.
