Vegas Golden Knights beef up defense with proven winner in Martinez

First reported by Bob McKenzie of TSN on Monday, the Vegas Golden Knights have bolstered their blueline by trading for the two-time Stanley Cup Champion.

However, it has come at a hefty cost with the Knights sending a second-round pick in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft in addition to another second-round selection in the 2021 NHL Entry Draft.

Also, it has been reported by Pierre LeBrun of The Athletic that the LA Kings won’t be retaining any of Martinez’s salary, meaning that the Golden Knights will have to shift one or two contracts off the books.
