AGGRESSIVE DEALS: Vegas Golden Knights Buy or Sell? VGK Looks to Target a Center | VGK Podcast

Vegas Golden Knights face a pivotal NHL trade deadline: will Kelly McCrimmon and George McPhee go all-in, sell valuable assets, or stand pat as challengers in the Pacific Division loom? Rasmus Andersson’s arrival sparks debate—can his offensive instincts and blue line minutes elevate VGK into true Stanley Cup contention, or does the roster remain incomplete with William Karlsson’s health in question?

Tony Dasco and Chris Gawlik break down potential trade targets like Brayden Schenn and Ryan O’Reilly, cap space maneuvers, and which rivals—Anaheim Ducks, San Jose Sharks, Calgary Flames— threaten VGK’s playoff aspirations. The episode spotlights Andersson’s early impact alongside questions about defensive pairings, goaltending stability, and the urgency facing Vegas as active Pacific Division competitors gear up for high-stakes moves. Will the Golden Knights get aggressive and reshape their lineup before the window closes?
