Tomas Hertl, recently acquired by the Vegas Golden Knights, is navigating trade rumors while training in Czechia. In an interview, he discussed speculative talk surrounding a possible trade to the Carolina Hurricanes, emphasizing his understanding of the situation with no immediate risks until after July 1. Hertl appreciated the communication from GM Kelly McCrimmon, who assured him no trade discussions were taking place. Reflecting on his first season with the Knights, he expressed a desire for a deeper playoff run, highlighting the team's competitiveness.
"Honestly, I didn't even know - it was the people around me who told me. I knew the situation - they can't trade me at all until July 1, and then I have three teams that I can choose from."
"Yeah, that was nice. Everyone was writing to me that I was going to Carolina and I didn't know why, based on our conversations after the season had ended."
