Vegas Golden Knights Acquire Noah Hanifin from Calgary Flames

The Vegas Golden Knights are set to acquire defenseman Noah Hanifin from the Calgary Flames as they pursue a second consecutive Stanley Cup championship, with speculation of a contract extension. Hanifin, a valuable left defenseman, was sought after by several teams before the trade deadline. This move adds to the Golden Knights' already strong defensive lineup, which includes players like Alex Pietrangelo and Shea Theodore. Additionally, the team created cap space by placing captain Mark Stone on long-term injured reserve.
