Trade complete between the Vegas Golden Knights and Calgary Flames

The 2024 trade deadline was a wild one, with one of the most shocking trades coming in the Pacific Division as the Golden Knights landed star defenseman Noah Hanifin from Calgary. It was a deal that nobody saw coming, and it came with two major conditions, both of which have now already been met.

The first condition was met early on, as the Knights traded their 2025 first-round pick to land Tomas Hertl, meaning that the Flames will now get an unprotected 2026 first-round pick in the deal. Last night the second condition was met, as Vegas failed to win a round in the playoffs, meaning that instead of a 2025 second-round pick, Calgary will get another pick in 2024, but it will come in the third-round.

On top of that, Calgary got a promising defenseman in Daniil Miromanov, who ended up on the team's power play late in the year, so while it's not a massive trade for the Flames, it's certainly not the worst one they've made in recent times. Vegas however had much bigger plans in the 2024 playoffs, so we will see how they react going forward with much fewer assets to improve their team, but for now, this blockbuster trade deadline trade is now official.
