The Golden Knights’ decision to temper the damage of a trade mistake means the Detroit Red Wings will see more of a former teammate.
Late Sunday night, the Vegas Golden Knights shipped Tomas Tatar to the Montreal Canadiens, a fellow member of Atlantic Division. The Canadiens received Tatar, top center prospect Nick Suzuki and a second-round pick in 2019 in exchange for their captain, Max Pacioretty.
When the Golden Knights traded for Tatar on Feb. 26, he was supposed to boost their offense and factor into their pending playoff run.
