The Vegas Golden Knights made some big news on Saturday, sending Logan Thompson to the Washington Capitals and have now found a replacement for him.
According to TSN's Pierre LeBrun, the Golden Knights have acquired goaltender Akira Schmid and former first-round pick Alexander Holtz from the Devils in exchange for Paul Cotter and a 2025 third-round pick.
"Devils have acquired F Paul Cotter and Vegas third in 2025 for Alexander Holtz and Akira Schmid" LeBrun said.
