VEGAS (July 1, 2025) – Vegas Golden Knights General Manager Kelly McCrimmon announced today, July 1, the following roster transactions: The team has signed forward Brandon Saad to a one-year contract for the 2025-26 NHL season worth an average annual value of $2,000,000.

Mitch Marner is going to Vegas, after the Golden Knights made another major move to add a big-time player, snatching up the top pending free agent before the rest of the NHL got the opportunity. They got Marner in a sign-and-trade with the Toronto Maple Leafs agreed to on Monday and announced early Tuesday.

Mitch Marner opens up about leaving Toronto and why Vegas felt like the right fit. In a one-on-one with Taylor Rocha, he reflects on a new chapter, No. 93, and what fans can expect on and off the ice.
