Brandon Saad mutually terminated his contract with the St. Louis Blues late last month. The decision to move on made sense for both parties. Saad got the opportunity of a fresh start elsewhere, while the Blues freed up some much-needed cap space.
Shortly after his contract with the Blues was officially terminated, Saad signed a one-year, $1.5 million deal with the Vegas Golden Knights. With the Golden Knights needing more secondary scoring, it made sense for them to bring in the seven-time 20-goal scorer on a low-risk deal.

Saad is already off to a solid start with Vegas. In the Golden Knights’ Feb. 4 matchup against the New York Islanders, the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania native scored his first goal with the club.
Saad’s goal was a nice one, too, as he picked up a Nicolas Hague rebound in front and backhanded it home.
This was a great way for the 32-year-old forward to make an impression with his new club. It will now be intriguing to see how Saad builds on this from here.
