With the NHL's Olympic roster freeze approaching on February 4th and the trade deadline on March 6th, the Vegas Golden Knights are strategically positioned to make further moves to bolster their roster for a deep playoff run. Fresh off acquiring defenseman Rasmus Andersson from the Calgary Flames, General Manager Kelly McCrimmon may not be done tweaking his roster. The Andersson acquisition addresses the void left by Alex Pietrangelo's likely career-ending hip injury. Here are four potential trade partners and the assets they could offer the Golden Knights:

1. Calgary Flames

Despite already completing a significant trade with Vegas by sending Rasmus Andersson to the Golden Knights, the Flames have multiple players who could be on the move. Calgary is likely shifting its focus toward Blake Coleman or Nazem Kadri. The Flames also have pending unrestricted free agent, Ryan Lombberg. Daily Faceoff also mentioned that the Flames are clear sellers. With Calgary retaining 50% of Andersson's salary, Vegas has some cap space to add another piece.

2. New York Rangers

The Rangers are reportedly looking to sell, and have Artemi Panarin and Vincent Trocheck potentially on the trade block. While Panarin's hefty contract and no-move clause complicate matters, Trocheck could be a more realistic target.

3. St. Louis Blues

The St. Louis Blues are another team that may be looking to sell. Justin Faulk, Brayden Schenn, Jordan Kyrou, Jordan Binnington, and Robert Thomas are potentially available. Adding any of these players could give the Golden Knights the extra boost needed to make a deep playoff run.

4. Nashville Predators

The Nashville Predators find themselves in a precarious position, sitting three points out of the last Wildcard spot. With the Winter Olympics coming up, there are even fewer games to make up ground to try to claim a top-3 spot in the division. This could mean that the Predators will sell off pieces before the offseason hits. The Predators have Steven Stamkos, and Jonathan Marchessault potentially available.

The acquisition of Rasmus Andersson from the Calgary Flames has solidified the Vegas Golden Knights' position as a top contender in the Western Conference. Andersson, who averaged over 24 minutes of ice time with Calgary, reunites with former teammate Noah Hanifin, potentially forming a strong defensive pairing. The Golden Knights' defense also includes Shea Theodore, Brayden McNabb, Jeremy Lauzon and Kaedan Korczak. The team's offense is potent, ranking among the league leaders in high-danger goals and shots. With a solid defense and a high-powered offense, the Golden Knights are well-positioned for a deep playoff run.
