Golden Knights sign Brayden McNabb, two others to contract extensions

McNabb is one of the players still around from Vegas’ expansion draft back in 2017.

The Golden Knights signed him to a four-year deal in November 2017, just one month into their inaugural season, worth $2.5 million annually. This contract will feature a slight raise, as the annual salary is worth $2.85 million.

McNabb, who just turned 31 years old earlier this month, would have been an unrestricted free agent at the end of the season.

Amadio inked a one-year deal worth $750K with the Toronto Maple Leafs over the offseason. He played in three games with the Leafs before getting claimed on waivers by the Golden Knights. In 25 games with Vegas, Amadio has seven points.

Amadio’s contract will be worth $762,500 annually for two years, a raise on his current deal.

Thompson is an undrafted free agent who inked a two-year entry-level deal with Vegas back in the summer of 2020. He’s played only two games at the NHL level but has excellent results in the AHL. This season, Thompson has a 0.928 save percentage in 21 games for the Henderson Silver Knights.

Thompson’s deal is worth $766,667 over the course of three seasons.
