It was a busy Saturday for the Golden Knights, as the NHL expansion team announced it had signed its top three draft picks to three-year entry-level contracts and re-signed left wing Brendan Leipsic and defenseman Griffin Reinhart to two-year deals.
Center Cody Glass, the No. 6 overall pick from the Portland Winterhawks, center Nick Suzuki of the Owen Sound Attack who was taken No. 13 overall and defenseman Erik Brannstrom of Sweden, the No. 15 overall pick, got their deals done in plenty of time for the Sept. 7 rookie training camp. The team did not disclose financial details.
