A trade between the Golden Knights and the Predators
In this trade, the Golden Knights acquire Cole Smith and in return the Predators receive a 3rd round pick in 2028 as well as defenseman Christoffer Sedoff, who has 4 points in 38 games in the AHL this season and has yet to play a game in the NHL so far.

However, the main player involved in this transaction is 30-year-old forward Cole Smith, who has recorded 10 points in 41 games this season. Smith was never drafted in the NHL. The Predators also secured 2 picks in the 2028 draft on the same night, having acquired another pick from this same draft earlier today by trading forward McCarron to the Minnesota Wild.
