Vegas Golden Knights Sign 2 More Players Following Mitch Marner Acquisition

That being said, championships are won with depth, not just star power.

Just look at the Florida Panthers, who won the Stanley Cup last month thanks to the efforts of the entire roster.

The team's third line was arguably their most important as they got elite production from Anton Lundell, Brad Marchand, and Eetu Luostarinen.

Vegas appears to be replicating that model to the best of their abilities only on their blueline instead of at forward.

Today they signed defenseman Kaeden Korczak to a four-year contract extension, carrying a cap hit of 3.25 million dollars.

Korczak appeared in 40 games for the Knights last season, registering ten assists.

The Knights also announced a deal for defenseman Jeremy Davies to a two-year deal.

Davies last played in the NHL during the 2022-23 season where he got into one game with the Buffalo Sabres.

He figures to be a regular for the Henderson Silver Knights in the AHL, but could be a call up in case of injuries.

Combined, Davies and Korczak can't replace Alex Pietrangelo, but they will give the Knights a better chance of winning their second Stanley Cup in franchise history.
