Cormier signed a one-year contract with the Golden Knights on Monday.
Per PuckPedia, it's a two-way deal. Cormier earned his newest contract after the strongest offensive campaign of his AHL career. Across 49 regular-season games with AHL Henderson, the 24-year-old blueliner compiled eight goals, 39 assists and 121 shots on net. He produced when it mattered as well, adding five points in six postseason appearances. While he's yet to see consistent minutes at the NHL level, he'll return to Vegas' system as one of the top options for a call-up if the Golden Knights run into injury problems. He has one assist in two career NHL games, with both appearances coming in the 2023-24 regular season.

Golden Knights' Antti Tuomisto: Moves out west
Rotowire
Tuomisto signed a contract with the Golden Knights on Wednesday.
Tuomisto's contract is a two-year deal worth $1.75 million, per PuckPedia. It's a one-way deal in both years, representing a significant boost in financial security for the 25-year-old defenseman. He put up a career-high 29 points in 68 regular-season contests for AHL Grand Rapids last season. Tuomisto figures to spend most of 2026-27 with AHL Henderson, but he'll get a chance to compete for a depth role in the NHL.

Golden Knights' Ville Heinola: Gets one-way contract from Vegas
Rotowire
Heinola signed a one-year, $850,000 contract with the Golden Knights on Wednesday, Chris Johnston of The Athletic reports.
Heinola is reportedly on a one-way deal, which suggests Vegas will at least consider him for NHL minutes. The 25-year-old logged 21 points in 44 regular-season games for AHL Manitoba, but he went without a point in five NHL games with the Jets. He also had six points in 10 games at the IIHF World Championship with Finland in May. Heinola's far from a lock to make the Opening Night roster, but the fresh start could serve him well.

Golden Knights' Adam Ginning: Joining Vegas
Rotowire
Ginning signed a two-year, $1.75 million contract with the Golden Knights on Wednesday.
Per PuckPedia, Ginning is on a one-way deal in both years. That said, he is likely to spend most of 2026-27 in the AHL. The 26-year-old defenseman posted eight points in 42 regular-season games with AHL Lehigh Valley in 2025-26. He's produced a goal over 16 career NHL appearances, all with the Flyers over the previous four seasons.

Golden Knights' Raphael Lavoie: Signs new deal with Vegas
Rotowire
Lavoie signed a contract with the Golden Knights on Wednesday.
Per PuckPedia, it's a one-year, one-way deal worth $900,000. Lavoie hasn't earned a point in 17 career NHL games. He was plenty impressive with AHL Henderson last year, earning 30 goals and 26 assists over 45 regular-season outings as well as three goals in six playoff games. Lavoie's deal is probably a two-way contract given his usage over the years, but he should have a chance to compete for a roster spot in Vegas during training camp.

Golden Knights' Marc Gatcomb: Links up with Vegas
Rotowire
Gatcomb signed a contract with the Golden Knights on Wednesday.
According to PuckPedia, it's a two-year, $1.75 million contract. Gatcomb should have a chance to compete for a fourth-line job in training camp. The 26-year-old put up seven points, 55 shots on net and 192 hits in 49 regular-season outings with the Islanders in 2025-26, but they didn't give him a qualifying offer Monday. Gatcomb will help replace some of the toughness Vegas lost when Cole Smith departed in free agency, and Keegan Kolesar was traded to Detroit.

Golden Knights' Joe Fleming: Sticking with Vegas
Rotowire
Fleming signed a contract with the Golden Knights on Wednesday.
Fleming's deal is a one-year, two-way contract, per PuckPedia. The 23-year-old had 14 points in 60 regular-season contests with AHL Henderson last season. He has yet to make his NHL debut, so this new contract is likely to be a two-way deal. Originally listed as a defenseman, the Golden Knights appear to consider Fleming a winger at this point in his career.

Golden Knights' Jakub Demek: Re-ups with Vegas
Rotowire
Demek signed a contract with the Golden Knights on Wednesday.
Per PuckPedia, it's a one-year, two-way deal. He has yet to make his NHL debut. Demek was limited to one assist in four AHL games last season after dealing with injuries throughout the campaign.

Golden Knights' Dylan Coghlan: Agrees to terms with Vegas
Rotowire
Coghlan signed a two-year, $1.75 million contract with the Golden Knights on Wednesday, Chris Johnston of The Athletic reports.
Coghlan began his career with two seasons in Vegas, and he returned to the Golden Knights for the 2025-26 campaign. He had a limited role with the NHL club last year, appearing in just three regular-season games. Still, he will remain under contract with the organization for two more seasons after agreeing to a deal on the first day of free agency. His opportunities in the NHL will likely be too limited to make him a reliable fantasy option.

Golden Knights' Victor Olofsson: Reunites with Vegas
Rotowire
Olofsson signed a one-year, $1.638,330 contract with the Golden Knights on Wednesday, per PuckPedia.
Olofsson spent 2025-26 with the Avalanche and the Flames, earning a total of 13 goals, 18 assists, 147 shots on net and a plus-5 rating over 78 regular-season games. The 30-year-old winger has topped the 30-point mark five times in his seven full NHL seasons, but this was the first time he had done so since 2022-23. This will be his second stint with the Golden Knights, and he'll likely be tasked with filling at least part of the power-play void left behind by Vegas' trade that sent Pavel Dorofeyev to the Rangers.

Golden Knights' Tanner Laczynski: Re-signs Wednesday
Rotowire
Laczynski signed a three-year, $2.7 million contract with the Golden Knights on Wednesday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
Laczynski had five assists in 10 regular-season outings with Vegas in 2025-26. He also had 22 goals and 64 points in 62 regular-season appearances with AHL Henderson last campaign. The 29-year-old managed to secure a one-way contract, so he'll earn the same amount regardless of whether he plays in the NHL or minors, but it still wouldn't be surprising if he ends up starting 2026-27 in the AHL.

Golden Knights' Rasmus Andersson: Inks seven-year deal with Vegas
Rotowire
Andersson signed a seven-year, $59.5 million contract with the Golden Knights on Wednesday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
Andersson joined the Golden Knights via trade in January of 2026, and he recorded seven goals, 10 assists, 60 blocked shots, 18 PIM and eight hits while averaging 21:42 of ice time across 33 regular-season appearances with his new club. While he became an unrestricted free agent Wednesday, the Golden Knights expressed a consistent interest in bringing him back, and the two sides agreed to a long-term deal on the first day of free agency. Despite a slight dip in production after joining Vegas last year, he should continue to occupy a spot on a prominent defensive pairing in future seasons.

Golden Knights' Jonas Rondbjerg: Inks two-way deal

Rondbjerg signed a one-year, two-way contract with Vegas on Wednesday, per PuckPedia.
Rondbjerg had 13 goals and 26 points in 43 regular-season outings with AHL Henderson in 2025-26. He also had an assist in four regular-season appearances with Vegas last campaign. The 27-year-old will compete for a spot on Vegas' Opening Night roster, but he's likely to start 2026-27 in the minors.

Golden Knights' Jeremy Lauzon: Gets long-term deal with Vegas
Rotowire
Lauzon signed a six-year, $24 million contract with the Golden Knights on Tuesday, Pierre LeBrun of TSN reports.
Lauzon getting six years is a little surprising, but he's clearly important to Vegas' plans. The 29-year-old defenseman will slot into a third-pairing role, though he could play a little more if injuries pile up. Lauzon is an excellent option in banger leagues due to his high-end physicality, but his relative lack of offense makes him risky in standard fantasy formats -- he's never had more than 14 points in a regular season.

Golden Knights' Parker Wotherspoon: Traded to Sin City
Rotowire
Vegas acquired Wotherspoon from Pittsburgh on Tuesday in exchange for Kaedan Korczak.
As part of the trade, the Penguins will retain 50 percent of Wotherspoon's $1 million cap hit for the 2026-27 campaign. He registered three goals, 30 points, 70 shots on net, 112 blocked shots and 162 hits across 80 appearances during the 2025-26 regular season.

Golden Knights' Carl Lindbom: Re-ups with Vegas
Rotowire
Lindbom inked a three-year, $2.7 million contract extension with the Golden Knights on Sunday.
Lindbom went 2-4-2 with a 2.99 GAA and an .873 save percentage over eight regular-season appearances with Vegas in 2025-26. While he did not fare too well with the big club, the Swedish netminder was superb with AHL Henderson, posting a 24-5-5 record, .926 save percentage and 2.16 GAA across 35 regular-season games. Since Carter Hart and Adin Hill are both under contract for the 2026-27 campaign, Lindbom will likely spend the bulk of his time in the minors again.

Golden Knights' Jonah Sivertson: WHL star heads to Sin City
Rotowire
Sivertson was the 113th overall pick by Vegas in the 2026 NHL Entry Draft on Saturday.
Sivertson made his WHL debut two seasons ago, managing just two assists in 15 games for Prince Albert. He took on an elevated role for the second-best team in the league this past year, finishing with 24 goals, 53 points, and a plus-46 rating in 66 regular-season games for the Raiders. It's fair to wonder if the increased production was the result of his talented teammates, but Sivertson is 6-foot-3 with a good set of hands, so he was always going to draw serious interest given how much he improved this past campaign. With a late August birthday, Sivertson is one of the draft's youngest players. He is a 2027-28 commit to St. Cloud State.

Golden Knights' Sean Burick: Massive defender joins Vegas
Rotowire
Burick was the 95th overall pick by Vegas in the 2026 NHL Entry Draft on Saturday.
A native of California, Burick joined up with Penticton for the Vees move to the WHL this past season and managed just four assists in 50 regular-season games. The lack of point production should not be surprising. The appeal regarding Burick is the fact that he's 6-foot-8 and 215 pounds with a decent set of wheels. There's a real chance his puck skills will never improve enough for him to make it at the highest level, but Burick is obviously worth watching because he'd be one of the biggest players in the NHL if he gets there. Burick is looking at one more season in the WHL before moving on to the University of Denver in the fall of 2027.

Golden Knights' Ben Wilmott: Ohio State commit joins Vegas
Rotowire
Wilmott was the 92nd overall pick by Vegas in the 2026 NHL Entry Draft on Saturday.
A native of Seattle, Wilmott played his youth hockey in the New Jersey area before heading off to the USHL. He moved on to the OHL this past season, splitting time between London and Barrie. He posted 27 goals and 66 points in 67 games. Wilmott's calling card is his compete level. He's constantly attacking opposing defenders on the forecheck and working to retrieve pucks in all three zones. Set to turn 20 years of age in late August, Wilmott should be ready to seize an immediate role upon arriving on campus at Ohio State in the fall.

Golden Knights' Juho Piiparinen: Low-risk defender drafted 29th
Rotowire
Piiparinen was the 29th overall pick by Vegas in the 2026 NHL Entry Draft on Friday.
Piiparinen played in three different Finnish leagues this past season, with his most time (29 games) coming with Tappara in the top-tier Liiga. His greatest asset is his reliability. His skills are average, but he has no glaring weaknesses. And that means his floor is high. Piiparinen captained Finland at the World U18's and suited up as a draft-eligible player at the World Juniors. There's no reason Piiparinen can't develop into a steady, minute-munching, third-pair regular for the Golden Knights.
