Reports: Vegas Had Many Irons in the Fire on Trade Deadline Day

The Vegas Golden Knights picked up winger Mattias Janmark from the Chicago Blackhawks at the trade deadline for a second round pick and a swap of later picks, but according to reports, they were active on many other options.

Dave Pagnotta of the Fourth Period reports that they had discussions about acquiring Ryan Getzlaf from the Anaheim Ducks, but balked at the asking price.

Frank Seravalli on the DFO Podcast reports that Janmark was a tertiary option for the Knights. He says they were in on Taylor Hall and offered their first round pick for Nick Foligno.
