Vegas Golden Knights sign captain Mark Stone to two-year contract extension

The Vegas Golden Knights announced a two-year contract extension for forward and team captain Mark Stone on Saturday. The deal carries an annual cap hit of $9 million and is scheduled to begin next season once his current eight-year contract expires. Stone recorded 73 points during the previous regular season and added 12 points throughout the team's postseason run to the Stanley Cup Final. This agreement follows a recent six-year contract extension for forward Braedan Bowman, which the team finalized on September 10. General manager Kelly McCrimmon cited Stone's consistent performance and leadership as primary reasons for the organization’s decision to extend his tenure. Stone has served as the franchise's first captain since January 2021 and helped lead the team to its first Stanley Cup championship in 2023.
