ToHN Daily: Jack Eichel and Golden Knights a match made in Vegas?

The on-again, off-again Jack Eichel trade talks continue and it sure seems like the Vegas Golden Knights have the inside track right now. We are warned, however, not to sleep on Colorado or Calgary as other possible destinations for the high-scoring centre who is seeking a disc replacement surgery before continuing his NHL career.

Trade Talks: Jack Eichel, Vladimir Tarasenko and more forwards that could be on the move this season. (ToHN+)
