Earlier this summer the Carolina Hurricanes embarrassed the Vegas Golden Knights when they forced the Knights to receive no return in the Max Pacioretty trade. It was reported that Carolina wouldn't provide any tangible asset for Patches and instead insisted on sending the coveted "future considerations" to Vegas instead. Pacioretty tore his Achilles tendon shortly after and hasn't played since, but that hasn't stopped either team from completing another deal with one and other.
Yesterday the Hurricanes and Knights came together to make another trade. The Hurricanes officially acquired undrafted defender Zack Hates. Hayes, 23, has played this season in the AHL for the Henderson Silver Knights. On the season the 6'3 defender has just one assist.
