VEGAS (January 31, 2025) – Vegas Golden Knights General Manager Kelly McCrimmon announced today, January 31, that the team has signed forward Brandon Saad to a one-year contract for the remainder of the 2024-25 NHL season worth an average annual value of $1,500,000.

If the Blues are out of playoff contention near the deadline, trading Faksa would normally be the correct move. But what are they getting back: a third-round pick? He’s still only 31 years old, and as a veteran player with a high work ethic, he might be someone the Blues want to bring back as their fourth-line center next season.

Brandon Saad, whose contract with the St. Louis Blues is set to be terminated Friday, could be a good fit for NHL teams looking to take the next step, including some former squads.

The Blues and Brandon Saad mutually agreed to terminate his contract; he will sacrifice his remaining salary for this season and next.

The St. Louis Blues and Brandon Saad have agreed to mutually terminate the remainder of his contract, which would make him a free agent and able to sign with any team in the NHL.
