The Vegas Golden Knights and captain Mark Stone agree to a two-year contract extension with an average annual value of $9 million, keeping him under contract through the 2028-29 season.
The extension follows a strong recent season for Stone. After a time missed due to injury, he records a career-high 73 points and helps the Golden Knights reach the Stanley Cup Final, where they fall to the Carolina Hurricanes in six games.
Across the outlets, coverage focuses on Stone’s role in Vegas and the context of the team’s payroll. Yahoo highlights him as an emotional and on-ice leader, while The Athletic notes the contract places Stone among the team’s highest earners, though still well below other major deals recently signed by players such as Jack Eichel and Mitch Marner.
