On today's Western Conference Tuesday edition of Locked on NHL, we recap a busy Trade Deadline for the Western Conference by looking at how the Colorado Avalanche retooled their bottom six, and dealt from a position of strength to fix a glaring need at second line center by acquiring Casey Middlestadt. We discuss the moves the Golden Knights made, including coming from out of nowhere to snag Tomas Hertl from the Sharks. We look at how Vegas continues to use LTIR as a way to keep themselves competitive even when losing key contributors for long stretches. We also point back to the NHL for teams not utilizing LTIR more regularly other than Vegas and Tampa Bay. We finish by discussing the impact Logan Stankoven has had in Dallas where he hasn't been relied upon to be a major contributor but he has helped further an incredibly deep Dallas lineup!
