What does the Akira Schmid trade to Florida mean for Adin Hill and the Golden Knights? | VGK Podcast

Vegas Golden Knights set up a dramatic goalie shakeup as Carl Lindbom is poised to become the new backup, with Akira Schmid traded to the Florida Panthers and Adin Hill’s future uncertain amid trade rumors. Is the goaltending reset the key to the next Cup run, or will Hill’s contract and declining numbers hold the team back? Chris Gawlik and Tony Dasco break down the Golden Knights’ cap crunch, free agency targets like Boone Jenner and Vladimir Tarasenko, and the ripple effects on the roster as RFA decisions and prospect promotions loom large. With Ryan Craig and Joel Ward taking on new coaching roles and Kelly McCrimmon’s comments fueling speculation, Vegas fans are left to wonder: Can VGK’s front office find the right formula amid an aging free agent pool and mounting salary cap pressures?
