The 2026 NHL Trade Deadline is mere days away, but the Vegas Golden Knights saw no reason to wait. On Tuesday, they acquired veteran center Cole Smith from the Nashville Predators in exchange for defensive prospect Christoffer Sedoff and a 2028 third-round pick.
This trade comes mere hours after a 3-2 loss to the Buffalo Sabres.
Cole Smith, a 30-year-old, 6’3” winger, is known for his grit. In 270 games with the Predators, he racked up 223 PIMs and dropped the gloves 10 times. He also scored 23 goals and recorded 62 points.
Smith was second on the team in hits this season with 119 in 59 games played. He makes just $1 million per year and will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason.
Christoffer Sedoff, the 24-year-old defenseman going back the other way, signed with the Golden Knights’ organization in March 2023. He played 145 games with the Henderson Silver Knights, scoring 4 goals and recording 28 points.
