Chandler Stephenson has signed a new contract with the Vegas Golden Knights.

dude lit it up in vegas after several subpar seasons in washington. seems okay for a third liner.

Seems like a bit too much given the sample size, but he might live up to the price tag.

Not a bad deal for a 3C that can move up the lineup when needed. Hopefully for Vegas his production over this contract is closer to his regular season run with them more than how he played in the playoffs.

same as sundqvist

Vegas has entered into the 7th circle of cap hell... but unlike Tampa they didn't win anything.

I think he’ll live up to it

3M over the cap (+cousins), I can't see another option than trading Fleury.

I told you he was gonna cost more than a mill. Vegas fans were signing him 1.5 mill yeah right

Vegas is currently $3 million over the cap. Fleury is definitely gone now

seems a little bit too much, a move must be happening soon since vegas is 2.5mil over the cap

His sample size is way too low to commit on a contract like this. He played good last year, but I'd still consider him a 4th liner.

At least Sunny is a C, this dude is best suited as winger and most likely a 4th liner IMO.

Assuming that they can move Fleury, this is a good signing for a guy that they are convinced is going to be a middle-6 guy for his prime years.

a lot is going on in vegas. they can only go 10% over the cap in the offseason so if they're going to make a run at pietrangelo then moves are coming.

i expect fleury, schmidt and statsny.

Issue is teams are demanding a 1st and 2nd + half retention per reports. Is Vegas willing to do that.

Stephenson spent most of his time in Vegas at C, and played well while on the 2nd, & 3rd line. If his true self is his regular season with Vegas, then it's a good deal.

If not, it's not.

1+2 doesn't involve retention on Vegas' part, it's retention on the three way deal partner's part. If it did Vegas would just buy him out, as that would not only save them a 1+2, but also save cap hit.

Decent contract.

Everyone knows they have to trade Fluery. Umm good luck. Not going to get much.

A buyout means you're paying at least 2 million for 4 seasons instead of 2.

$1M too much

2x4 instead of 3.5x2. A buyout is better.

Overpay Imo. Yes he had a great season but idk. Just doesn't seem right for Chandler.

His season high is 11 goals- hasnt gotten past that since junior. For such a small sample size on a team with cap issues- this is an overpay. I dont see much upside to him, a good 4th liner- but hes paid way too much for that. Roy has more potential (younger and bigger) not to mention Nosek- whom they may not resign.
When youre roster if filled with $5mil + contracts- you need value on your bottom 2 lines and bottom pairing defense, this isnt it.
