From talking to other sources around the league, defenceman Alec Martinez, 33, and his $4-million AAV is a possibility to move. Which makes sense not only because he’s UFA in a year but also because if Vegas hopes to sign Pietrangelo it also needs to create a spot on the right side in its top four (Martinez is a left-hand shot who played the right side in the playoffs).
The Knights haven’t shown any interest in signing Martinez to a contract extension so the veteran blueliner probably saw the writing on the wall, which is too bad because he’s been a nice fit there, in my mind. It should be noted Martinez doesn’t have any no-trade protection
