The Golden Knights, in their quest to regain playoff contention after a rare absence last season, have suffered a setback with the announcement of their captain Mark Stone's indefinite absence due to season-ending back surgery. This has prompted Golden Knights General Manager Kelly McCrimmon to attempt a significant acquisition in a bid to compensate for Stone's loss.
Rumors abound that the Golden Knights are considering making a grand gesture, much like playing their cards in a high-stakes poker game, by acquiring the most coveted name in the trade deadline market - Chicago Blackhawks' Patrick Kane. Such an acquisition would be a coup for Kelly McCrimmon, as it would allow for the integration of Patrick Kane into a dynamic offensive duo alongside Jack Eichel.
