REPORT: 'Smoke' Surrounding Possible Golden Knights and Hurricanes Trade Involving Tomas Hertl
The Vegas Golden Knights and the Carolina Hurricanes are reportedly working on a trade that would send Tomas Hertl to the Hurricanes.
The report was shared by EliteProspects' Cam Robinson, who took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share what he's heard. Robinson said, "There's some smoke out there that Carolina could be bringing in Tomas Hertl. I'd like to reiterate. Smoke. Have yet to confirm anything, but the noise is loud enough and from enough places for me to try and really dig into it."
Marco D'Amico of RGmedia also shared a report that he's heard "reports he may be on his way out of Vegas this morning to the Eastern Conference.
The Golden Knights have been linked to Mitch Marner since last summer, when there were rumors that he could be made available in trades. This offseason, Marner is the prized unrestricted free agent with several insiders claiming the Golden Knights are among the favorites, if not leading the race.
Hertl has a modified no-trade list, which states that he can approve three teams he'd be willing to be traded to. The 31-year-old scored 32 goals and 61 points in 72 games in his first full season with the Golden Knights, proving to be a valued second-line center behind Jack Eichel and in front of William Karlsson.
It was also Hertl's most productive season on the power play, scoring 14 goals and 23 points, both of which were career highs.
The Golden Knights acquired Hertl at the 2023-24 trade deadline, shocking the hockey world. Hertl was injured at the time and thought to be unavailable due to both his injury and the fact that he was in the second year of an eight-year, $8,137,500 contract he signed with the San Jose Sharks. The Golden Knights sent David Edstrom and a 2025 first-round pick to the Sharks in exchange for Hertl, at 17 percent retained, and a pair of third-round picks.
The rumor shared by Robinson is still very fresh, so no possible returns or additional information has been given. Robinson claims that "there's some out of Carolina," which also informs us that the two teams likely haven't even begun to consider what else they would involve in the deal. What is known is that if the Golden Knights want to acquire Marner, they need to shed off cap space, and moving Hertl's $6.75-million cap hit would do just that.
