Brandon Saad, a veteran forward, has recently signed with the Vegas Golden Knights after parting ways with the St. Louis Blues. Saad's decision came after a strong interest from multiple NHL teams, including the New Jersey Devils, Ottawa Senators, Toronto Maple Leafs, and Tampa Bay Lightning. The Devils, in particular, were keen to enhance their offensive depth, given their struggles in secondary scoring this season.

In 43 games across the Blues and Golden Knights this season, Saad tallied eight goals and 17 points, demonstrating his consistent ability to contribute offensively. His track record includes reaching the 20-goal mark in seven seasons, making him a valuable asset for any contender. The implications of Saad's choice to join Vegas, a team with championship aspirations, will be closely watched as he aims to make an impact in the postseason.
