The veteran forward agreed to a one-year deal worth $1.5 million with the Vegas Golden Knights for the remainder of the season.
The 32-year-old and Blues agreed to mutually terminate the remainder of his contract, making him a free agent and able to sign with any team in the NHL.
The decision led to him forgoing roughly $5.4 million to become a free agent rather than report to the minors after being placed on waivers.
Saad’s struggles this season have been noted as he’s been held without a goal in 40 of his 43 games this season and has a total of 16 points.
The Pittsburgh native will be looking to regain his prior form where he scored 26 goals last year. He also has two Stanley Cup rings with the Chicago Blackhawks in 2013 and 2015.
Prior to signing with the Golden Knights, Saad had been linked to the Edmonton Oilers and Toronto Maple Leafs, among others.
The Golden Knights have made a big splash in free agency, as they have reportedly agreed to a one-year deal with forward Brandon Saad. Saad, who was previously with the Colorado Avalanche, brings a wealth of experience and skill to the Vegas lineup.
Saad is a two-time Stanley Cup champion, having won with the Chicago Blackhawks in 2013 and 2015. He has proven to be a reliable scorer and a versatile player who can contribute in all areas of the ice.
This signing is a significant move for the Golden Knights, who are looking to bolster their roster and make a deep playoff run next season. Saad adds depth and scoring power to an already talented forward group, and his presence will undoubtedly make the team even more formidable.
Fans of the Golden Knights are surely excited by this news, as they can look forward to seeing Saad in action wearing the black and gold next season. With his skill and experience, he is sure to make a big impact and help the team compete at the highest level.
