The veteran forward signed a one-year contract after mutually terminating his previous deal with the St. Louis Blues.

  • Brandon Saad signed a prorated one-year contract worth $1.5 million with the Vegas Golden Knights for the remainder of the 2024-25 NHL season.
  • The 32-year-old forward terminated his previous contract with the St. Louis Blues, forfeiting approximately $5.4 million in remaining salary to remain in the NHL.
  • Saad has struggled this season, recording just 16 points in 43 games, including a career-worst -14 rating and a 9.3% shooting percentage.
  • The Golden Knights sought Saad to bolster their forward depth after injuries to key players William Karlsson and Cole Schwindt left gaps in their lineup.
  • A two-time Stanley Cup winner, Saad brings experience and potential for a rebound as he joins a contending team aiming for playoff success.
