Even when things appear to be good, and your team just won the Stanley Cup, it might not always be sunshine and rainbows. As it turns out for Vegas, this could be the case as well, as this surprising Vegas Golden Knights player is rumoured to want a trade, not even a year after winning the cup.
Just from the inherent smaller size of the goaltender trade market, sometimes it can be difficult to move goalies on a whim. However, Thompson would certainly be considered a high-value target, especially as teams continue to follow the trend of splitting games evenly between a 1a and 1b goalie duo.
Thompson could be looking for a fresh start with a new club, or even looking to take over the true number 1 spot for a team. Either way, it will take a large bid to get the reigning Cup Champs to move their high-value asset.
