We have a huge trade rumor from one of the best insiders in the business.
According to Sportsnet insider Chris Johnston the Las Vegas Golden Knights and Chicago Blackhawks are expected to make a trade today, and it's a trade that has reportedly been in place for some time.
Johnston reports that the Chicago Blackhawks are waiting to pay Center Marcus Kruger a bonus worth $2 million today prior to pulling the trigger on a trade that will send him to the Golden Knights, presumably because Vegas did not want to be on the hook for that bonus themselves.
Johnston calls this a "long-rumored deal" however he has not elaborated on what the Golden Knights will be sending back to the Blackhawks in this deal.
Stay tuned.
