A couple of days removed from sending two second-round picks to the LA Kings for veteran defenseman Alec Martinez, the Vegas Golden Knights traded forward Cody Eakin to the Winnipeg Jets.
The Golden Knights got back a conditional fourth-round pick in 2021 from the Jets, which could morph into a third-round selection if Eakin either re-signs in Winnipeg or if the Jets make the postseason.
Given that the Winnipeg Jets currently occupy a Wild Card spot and are buyers at the Trade Deadline, it seems likely that the Knights could well end up with a third-round pick in return for an expiring contract.
