Overview

• Vegas Golden Knights sent defenseman Nicolas Hague to the Nashville Predators in exchange for defenseman Jeremy Lauzon and center Colton Sissons.
• Hague’s departure removes his $2.29 million cap hit, giving Vegas greater flexibility for July 1 free-agency.
• Nashville immediately signed Hague, 26, to a four-year, $22 million contract carrying a $5.5 million annual value.
• Lauzon played 28 games last season, recording one assist and posting 14 goals and 45 points across 316 career games.
• Sissons notched seven goals and 21 points in 72 games in 2024–25 and brings veteran face-off strength to Vegas.
