Golden Knights' Nicolas Hague: Ready for training camp
Hague (lower body) is healthy ahead of the start of training camp Thursday, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.
Hague was injured in the opening game of the playoffs in April and sat out the final six contests versus Dallas. The defenseman recovered during the offseason and is ready to go. Hague had two goals, 10 assists, 154 hits and 111 blocked shots in 73 regular-season appearances with the Golden Knights in 2023-24.

Golden Knights' Robin Lehner: Absent for medical test
Lehner (hip) was not at training camp Wednesday to undergo a yearly mandatory medical test, per RDS.ca.
To qualify for long-term injured reserve -- which Lehner has been on for each of the last two years -- a player must be checked and proven medically unfit to play. Lehner's absence from the Golden Knights' first day of camp has led to the team potentially pursuing a contract termination, which would get them fully out from under his $5 million cap hit. While this situation will have salary cap implications for the Golden Knights and could also impact the NHLPA's relations with the league, it doesn't change the fact that Lehner has likely played his last NHL game and won't suit up in 2024-25 while in the last year of his contract.

Golden Knights' Tanner Pearson: Gets tryout from Vegas
Pearson signed a professional tryout agreement with the Golden Knights on Tuesday.
Pearson spent last season with the Canadiens, racking up 13 points in 54 contests. He missed a large chunk of time with an upper-body injury and was also a healthy scratch down the stretch. Injuries have taken significant portions of his last three seasons, but he's healthy and could push for a bottom-six role with the Golden Knights, who are currently expected to lean on young forwards in those spots.

Golden Knights' Akira Schmid: Lands two-year deal
Schmid signed a two-year, $1.75 million contract with the Golden Knights on Wednesday, per CapFriendly.
Schmid was traded from the Devils to the Golden Knights at the draft, but he did not receive a qualifying offer. This allowed the 24-year-old goalie to test free agency, but Vegas was able to get a deal done with him anyway. The Golden Knights also signed Ilya Samsonov on Monday to a one-year, $1.8 million deal, so it's likely Schmid will spend the bulk of 2024-25 at AHL Henderson.

Golden Knights' Callahan Burke: Signs with Vegas
Burke signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Golden Knights on Tuesday, per PuckPedia.
Burke spent almost all of last season on loan with AHL Colorado, where he racked up 39 points in 57 regular-season outings. He also appeared in one game with the Hurricanes. Burke's a proven minor-league scorer, but he's unlikely to see much NHL action.

Golden Knights' Robert Hagg: Bolstering Vegas' depth
Hagg signed a one-year, $775,000 contract with the Golden Knights on Tuesday, per PuckPedia.
Hagg played in just five NHL games with the Ducks last year, and he added 12 points in 47 contests for AHL San Diego. He's unlikely to see regular playing time with the Golden Knights, but he could fill in as a depth option when injuries arise.

Golden Knights' Victor Olofsson: Lands one-year contract
Olofsson signed a one-year, $1.075 million contract with Vegas on Tuesday, per PuckPedia.
Olofsson notched seven goals and 15 points in 51 regular-season outings for Buffalo in 2023-24 while averaging a career-low 11:34 of ice time per contest. He could bounce back in Vegas, but opportunities might be limited if he occupies a bottom-six spot in the lineup.

Golden Knights' Kaedan Korczak: Secures two-year extension
Korczak signed a two-year, $825,000 AAV extension with the Golden Knights on Monday.
Korczak had nine points in 26 regular-season games last season but was a healthy scratch throughout Vegas' postseason run. The 23-year-old posted the same line with AHL Henderson as well, adding nine points in 26 contests. He could split time between the two levels again during the 2024-25 campaign.

Golden Knights' Pavel Dorofeyev: Inks two-year extension
Dorofeyev signed a two-year, $1.835 million AAV extension with the Golden Knights on Monday.
Dorofeyev took on a bigger role with Vegas last season, scoring 13 goals and 24 points in 47 regular-season appearances. However, he only dressed in one postseason game after the team got a bit healthier. Dorofeyev could compete for a consistent middle-six role during the 2024-25 campaign.

Golden Knights' Ilya Samsonov: Heading to Vegas
Samsonov signed a one-year, $1.8 million deal with Vegas on Monday.
Samsonov went 23-7-8 during the regular season with Toronto last year despite producing a lackluster .890 save percentage. The 27-year-old appears to be the favorite to serve as the backup behind Adin Hill during the 2024-25 campaign. Samsonov has registered. 2.76 GAA and a .904 save percentage in 171 career NHL games.

Golden Knights' Tanner Laczynski: Inks two-year agreement
Laczynski signed a two-year, $1.55 million contract with the Golden Knights on Monday, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.
Laczynski had 17 goals and 44 points in 49 regular-season games with AHL Lehigh Valley in 2023-24. He also has two goals and four points across 38 career NHL appearances. Laczynski should get a look during training camp, but he'll probably start the campaign in the minors.

Golden Knights' Zach Aston-Reese: Lands in Sin City
Aston-Reese signed a one-year, two-way contract with Vegas on Monday, according to Jesse Granger of The Athletic.
Aston-Reese registered 14 goals and 30 points in 61 regular-season outings for AHL Grand Rapids in 2023-24. He didn't find the scoresheet in three NHL appearances with Detroit this past campaign. Aston-Reese will compete for a bottom-six spot at Vegas' training camp but may spend most of 2024-25 in the minors again.

Golden Knights' Akira Schmid: Moving to Sin City
Schmid and Alexander Holtz were acquired by the Golden Knights from the Devils on Saturday in exchange for Paul Cotter and a 2025 third-round draft pick.
Schmid had a 5-9-1 record, 3.15 GAA and .895 save percentage in 19 appearances with the Devils during the 2023-24 campaign. He also posted a 3.06 GAA and an .894 save percentage across 23 regular-season outings with AHL Utica. The 24-year-old netminder is expected to begin the 2024-25 campaign as the third goaltender on the franchise's depth chart, per Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal Adin Hill will serve as the starter, while Vegas will attempt to sign a backup netminder when the free agent market opens Monday. Schmid is likely to start the campaign in the minors, though he would be the first option for a promotion if one of the Golden Knights' goaltenders suffers an injury.

Golden Knights' Alexander Holtz: Involved in trade
Holtz was acquired by the Golden Knights from the Devils along with Akira Schmid on Saturday in exchange for Paul Cotter and a 2025 third-round pick.
Holtz provided 16 goals and 28 points in 82 contests with the Devils in 2023-24. The 22-year-old forward was selected with the No. 7 overall pick in the 2020 NHL Draft and has the potential to make significant strides offensively. Holtz might start the 2024-25 campaign serving in a middle-six capacity.

Golden Knights' Pavel Moysevich: Overager drafted by Vegas
Moysevich was the 83rd overall pick by the Golden Knights in the 2024 NHL Entry Draft on Saturday.
Moysevich was eligible for last year's draft and wasn't selected. He split time this past season between Russia's KHL and the league's second-tier VHL. He performed well at both levels. In 13 KHL games for SKA, Moysevich went 3-2-2 with a 1.25 GAA and a .942 save percentage. Everything we've seen thus far suggests Moysevich is a solid goaltending prospect, but we likely need a few more years of full-time KHL duty before any final determinations.
