A draft pick and a prospect were sent to Vegas in exchange for what may end up being one of Carolina’s more valuable assets.<\/h4>
Okay, okay, I’ll admit it: I was a little bit unsure of how this Erik Haula trade would play out. Not so full of doubts that I didn’t like the trade, but still unsure. However, I am glad to be eating my words right about now. Erik Haula is proving himself to be very worthy of wearing the warning flags this season. Now, I’m sure you’re silently telling me not to get ahead of myself and get too excited about three goals in just as many games, but let’s be honest–I already have his jersey in my cart.<\/p>

Let’s rewind and unpack this for a minute. Back in June, Erik Haula ended his time in Vegas to be sent to Raleigh and become a Carolina Hurricane. In return, Vegas received Nicolas Roy<\/a> and a conditional fifth-round pick in the 2021 draft. Haula played a rather impressive season with the Golden Knights in 2017-18, setting career highs for himself with 29 goals and 26 assists, totaling 55 points. He also showed up well for the special teams in Vegas, an area that’s known to be lacking in Carolina. The next season, Haula suffered a knee injury early in November that had him stretchered off the ice and ended his season far too early.<\/p>
