The Las Vegas Golden Knights have lost Max Pacioretty and Mark Stone for an unknown amount of time and are struggling to find their footing in a division they used to dominate. They dropped four straight games after their victory against the Seattle Kracken but have somewhat recovered since then.

With that being said, the Stone injury reportedly has the Golden Knights interested in a trade for Jack Eichel, who is currently unhappy with his current situation in Buffalo.  The thought is that if Stone will be out for the long term, it makes sense for the organization to try to fill that hole somehow, and Eichel would be a good fit for several reasons. However, the only question is whether the Knights are willing to pay up for a prospect they would essentially be replacing their team captain with.

According to Frank Seravalli of the Daily Faceoff show, "the Golden Knights are the team to watch right now involving a potential Eichel trade. Unfortunately, however, the status of that trade could depend on Mark Stone's injury. Seravalli mentioned the strange wording from the team when the injury first occurred, saying it was somewhere between day-to-day and week-to-week and indicated that he believes Stone may be out long-term."
