The Golden Knights are keeping another veteran in the fold for a few more years. The team announced that they’ve signed winger Keegan Kolesar to a three-year, $7.5MM extension that begins in the 2025-26 season.
The 27-year-old was set to become an unrestricted free agent this summer. Instead, he’ll stay with Vegas through the 2028-29 campaign and will get a nice raise along the way. Kolesar carries a $1.4MM salary and cap charge in the final year of his current deal, meaning he’ll get an increase of $1.1MM per season on this new agreement.
The Golden Knights acquired Kolesar back in 2017 from Columbus, flipping a mid second-round pick to the Blue Jackets for his rights; Columbus wound up selecting Alexandre Texier with that selection. He was initially drafted in the third round (69th overall) by Columbus.
