According to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman, former St. Louis Blues [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/st-louis-blues] forward Brandon Saad is expected to re-sign with the Vegas Golden Knights. Saad, 32, signed a one-year contract with the Golden Knights in late January of this season after he and the Blues mutually agreed to terminate his contract. Now, with this report from Friedman, it appears that Saad will be sticking around in Vegas instead of hitting the market as an unrestricted free agent (UFA) on July 1. Following joining the Golden Knights, Saad posted six goals, 14 points, and a plus-6 rating in 29 regular-season games. He also had two assists in eight playoff games for Vegas. In four seasons with the Blues, Saad recorded 76 goals, 68 points, 144 points, and a minus-15 rating in 274 games. In 43 games with the Blues this season before having his contract terminated, he posted seven goals, nine assists, and a minus-14 rating.
