I can't imagine any trade for Trouba not involving a first-round pick.
Clarkson isn't a cap consideration for Las Vegas because he is on LTIR. The Golden Knights would be unlikely to trade McNabb and Reaves because they are quality depth players and don't have much cap impact, either. They need to move somebody with a major salary like Pacioretty, Stastny or Stone (all of whom they just traded for, and two of whom they just signed long-term deals with), Fleury (how likely is that?), or Marchesseault, Karlsson or Smith. I think the two obvious choices are Karlsson and Smith, and the Golden Knight have a replacement for one of them.
