I know the Vegas Golden Knights lost today, dear reader. They were shut out by the Utah Mammoth on the first day of the 2026 Rookie Faceoff, 3-0. But let's take a few deep breaths before going into complete psychosis.
If you haven't heard the big news, the Vegas Golden Knights gave contract extensions to both Mark Stone and Braeden Bowman. The deals were warranted, considering that both Golden Knights players had superb years in 2025-26.
The Vegas Golden Knights enter the 2026-27 season with the same expectations they had from their inaugural season, which ended with a division title and an appearance in the Stanley Cup Final.

The NHL has had an interesting new millennium. It was a league sans a salary cap when the 2000s started… and then the owners locked the players out for an entire season.

People will talk about the “Mount Rushmore” for a franchise, which is to say the four people, usually four players, that most define the franchise. Not always the four-best players, but the four that evoke the essence of the franchise.

The Vegas Golden Knights don’t have an abundance of cap space, with just $1,949,170 left of house money to play with. However, the season is long, even longer this year with 84 games, meaning at some point the club will face adversity and need reinforcements.
The Vegas Golden Knights, always willing to spend aggressively to acquire and retain top talent, are therefore also always on the lookout for opportunities to find surplus value on their roster to enable those big swings.
The Vegas Golden Knights have announced that forward Braeden Bowman has been signed to a six-year contract extension carrying a $3.4MM AAV. Bowman, 23, has one season remaining on his entry-level deal carrying a $912.5K cap hit.
The Vegas Golden Knights enter the 2026–27 season saying goodbye to their leading goal scorer last year, Pavel Dorofeyev. They are hoping Victor Olofsson will replace some of that scoring, but he obviously won’t totally replace him.
Everyone knows that Vegas Golden Knights general manager Kelly McCrimmon loves to make a trade. He'll acquire Mitch Marner from the Toronto Maple Leafs for Nicolas Roy and sign him to an eight-year deal.
Ladies and gentlemen, Carter Hart is expected to enter the 2026-27 season as the No. 1 goaltender for the Vegas Golden Knights. After an exciting playoff run that ultimately ended in a total collapse, the former Philadelphia Flyer enters the new season with a fresh mindset.
Ladies and gentlemen, the Vegas Golden Knights are 21 days away from puck drop. Three weeks from now, fans will gather around the newly minted Paramount+ Plaza (can't say Toshiba Plaza anymore) and cheer on the incoming Golden Knights.

The Vegas Golden Knights are coming off their second appearance in the Stanley Cup Final in the past four seasons, following up their first championship in 2023 with a loss at the hands of the Carolina Hurricanes in June.
The Vegas Golden Knights entered the 2026 offseason coming off another deep playoff run, but reaching the Stanley Cup Final did not mean the roster would remain untouched.
Reilly Smith remains unsigned as NHL training camps approach, one of the last notable names on a thin 2026 free agent board. The 35-year-old winger, a two-time Stanley Cup champion, has yet to find a fit for the 2026-27 season despite a résumé built on 15 years of NHL experience.
The New York Rangers did not spend the offseason behaving like a team willing to wait. Chris Drury changed the roster, surrendered valuable draft capital and placed another bet on a quick return to contention.
The Edmonton Oilers hired Mike Babcock as their newest head coach, but before deciding to interview him and then get the NHL’s approval to bring him back, they were all over Bruce Cassidy of the Vegas Golden Knights.
The Vegas Golden Knights can be satisfied with reaching the Stanley Cup Final last season, where they ultimately fell to the Carolina Hurricanes. However, contrary to what many might expect, it appears the Sin City franchise is not treating this summer as a vacation, with trade activity still expected.
