Breaking: NHL GM admits he's about to make a trade!

The guys over at Sportsnet's Hockey Central at Noon got a National Hockey League general manager to publicly admit he's currently working on a trade.

Las Vegas Golden Knights general manager George McPhee was a guest on the show this week when he was asked if, as rumors suggested, he did in fact have a move on the way, and McPhee admitted that he did. 

"I just started returning calls to clubs yesterday that have expressed some interest in obtaining a defenseman. We're starting to have those discussion and there's interest in probably moving one defenseman at this point." 

The Golden Knights selected a plethora of defensemen at the NHL Expansion Draft for their franchise and it has been obvious from the very beginning that the plan was to use those defensemen to acquire pieces that would help them build towards the future.

So how close are the Golden Knights to pulling the trigger, according to McPhee it's very close indeed. 

"We'll probably have to do something near."

No word from the GM regarding which defensemen are on the trading block.
