Dorofeyev Trade Shakes NHL Draft

Vegas Golden Knights trade high-scoring forward Pavel Dorofeyev to the New York Rangers in a blockbuster deal during draft weekend, sending him to a team hungry for future stars. Dorofeyev, just 25, delivered 37 goals last season and 35+ in two straight years, including a playoff game-winner — now signed a seven-year, $11M deal with New York. Vegas gets a top-26 pick, a third-rounder next year, and a 2028 first-rounder in return — a savvy move to clear cap space without sacrificing future assets. This trade signals big roster reshuffling early in the draft, as teams scramble to build for the next era. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
