Mark Stone #61 of the Vegas Golden Knights

With captain Mark Stone sidelined due to injury, the Vegas Golden Knights are poised to make moves ahead of this season’s NHL trade deadline, actively scouting potential additions to bolster their roster. According to Ben Gotz of the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the team’s focus is likely on acquiring scoring talent, particularly on the wings, given their depth at center, defense, and goaltending.

As the deadline approaches, here are three forwards the Golden Knights could target for acquisition in early March:

1. Jake Guentzel: Despite his current injury status, Guentzel presents an appealing option for Vegas. With the Golden Knights lacking strength on the left offensive side, Guentzel’s addition would provide a significant upgrade, potentially boosting offensive production. His scoring prowess, averaging a point per game and on pace for 36 goals, could significantly enhance the team’s goal-scoring capabilities.

2. Vladimir Tarasenko: A proven elite sniper, Tarasenko’s sharp finishing ability could complement players like Jonathan Marchessault, elevating the Knights’ top line to a formidable offensive force. Despite possessing a no-trade clause, Tarasenko has expressed interest in joining playoff-contending teams, making Vegas an attractive destination. His postseason experience and scoring prowess could greatly benefit a Vegas team in need of offensive firepower for a playoff run.

3. Reilly Smith: After a stint with another team, Smith’s return to Vegas could be on the horizon. Despite struggling to find success elsewhere, Smith’s familiarity with the Golden Knights’ system and potential cap space flexibility could make him a viable option. With Stone’s injury providing additional cap space, a trade involving Smith could provide the Knights with more financial flexibility, particularly once Stone returns to action.

Reilly Smith #19 of the Pittsburgh Penguins

In summary, with the trade deadline looming, the Golden Knights have the opportunity to address their offensive needs by pursuing talented forwards like Guentzel, Tarasenko, and potentially bringing back Smith to bolster their roster for a postseason push.
