The Vegas Golden Knights have got their man, agreeing with Alex Pietrangelo on a seven-year contract with a $8.8 million AAV.
While in the process of officially signing Pietrangelo, the Golden Knights have already traded Paul Stastny to create cap space, and it sounds like there are more moves still to come.
According to multiple reports, multiple Golden Knights players are “upset” and “unnerved” about their names being connected to potential trades in the rumour mill — Frank Seravalli specifically names Marc-Andre Fleury, Nate Schmidt, Reilly Smith, Max Pacioretty, Alec Martinez and Jonathan Marchessault.
Per the experts at CapFriendly, the Golden Knights still need to create more cap space in order to sign Pietrangelo to the reported $8.8 million AAV.
