Both players are unrestricted free agents this offseason, and were key parts of this team’s success in the playoffs.
The Vegas Golden Knights captured their first Stanley Cup last night, and while their focus right now is just on celebrating the win, they do have some decisions to make going into the offseason if they want to be poised for a repeat.
Brett Howden is the only restricted free agent on the roster this summer, and they have a few unrestricted free agents up front in Ivan Barbashev, Teddy Blueger, and Phil Kessel; and in the crease with Adin Hill, Laurent Brossoit, and Jonathan Quick. That means no major pieces need a new contract, although Barbashev and Hill would be nice to bring back, and they currently have over $3 million in cap space if everyone is healthy next season to start .
Tyler Yaremchuk and Frank Seravalli talked about what moves the Golden Knights may make to take another swing at a Stanley Cup on Daily Faceoff Live.If Lehner stays on LTIR, we’re talking about maybe $8.4 million. That could be enough to bring back both Barbashev and Hill. There’s a chance the Golden Knights run back the same roster!Yeah, I think they’re probably going to make some changes.
There’s some other guys. Barbashev, I have a hard time believing they’re going to be able to find a way to afford him, and then you mention Hill and the goaltending. He’s not going to get a Jordan Binnington like payday, but I think the Golden Knights are going to be in pretty fine position when it comes to the goaltending space that they’re going to have definitely at least one more crack at it with this core to try and go out and chase a repeat title.
