Knights sign young defenseman to 4-year contract extension
The Golden Knights signed defenseman Kaedan Korczak to a four-year, $13 million extension, the team announced Wednesday.
Korczak, 24, will have a $3.25 million cap hit on his new deal, which will kick in for the 2026-27 season. Korczak appeared in a career-high 40 games last season and recorded 10 assists.
The 2019 second-round pick is expected to take on a larger role next year after Nic Hague was traded to the Nashville Predators and the Knights announced Alex Pietrangelo is stepping away from hockey because of a hip injury.
The team also signed defenseman Jeremy Davies to a two-year, two-way contract Wednesday. Financial terms were not disclosed.
Davies, 28, had 48 points in 72 games for the American Hockey League’s Belleville Senators last season.
