The Vegas Golden Knights have rarely relied on their farm system when it comes to finding impact players. While homegrown talents such as Pavel Dorofeyev and Kaedan Korczak have found success in Vegas, most of the team’s big-ticket players have come outside the organization.
The Vegas Golden Knights just locked in key blue-line talent with a four-year, $13 million extension for defenseman Kaedan Korczak that carries a $3.25 million annual cap hit beginning in the 2026–27 season.
NHL head coaches have to hire good assistants. They have to set an overarching philosophy, juggle lineup configurations, and do the kind of “man management” that is impossible to track statistically.
Kaedan Korczak is going to be in Vegas for a while longer. On Wednesday, the Vegas Golden Knights announced they re-signed Korczak to a four-year contract extension with an annual cap hit of $3.25 million.
