Vegas Golden Knights fans are breathing a sigh of relief as the team's recent trade of forward Alex Tuch appears to have finally paid off. The deal, which sent Tuch to the Minnesota Wild in exchange for a package of draft picks and prospects, had been met with skepticism by many in the hockey community. However, with Tuch struggling to find his footing in Minnesota, the Golden Knights may have finally chalked up a win on a past deal. As the team looks to make a deep run in the playoffs, the departure of Tuch's $6 million salary cap hit could prove to be a shrewd move by general manager Kelly McCrimmon.
