LOS ANGELES — Gerard Gallant never sweats the NHL’s trade deadline.
The Golden Knights coach knows he has no control over what happens and he’s content to coach whoever general manager George McPhee gives him. But he was happy that McPhee kept the team pretty much intact, adding forward Tomas Tatar and moving Brendan Leipsic.
“They had a lot of options,” Gallant said Monday prior to the Knights facing the Los Angeles Kings of McPhee and the team’s hockey operations staff. “All week long they worked hard.
“I’m pretty happy. We’re moving forward. We’ve got a good hockey club and we’ve got some good, solid depth.
