The veteran defenseman, who has been an iconic figure for the Vegas Golden Knights since they entered the NHL in 2017, signed a one-year contract that will run through the 2019-20 season. Engelland’s new deal will have a base salary of $700,000, although that could rise to $1,500,000 a year based on bonuses and other incentives.
It is a key signing for a number of reasons for the Golden Knights. Not only do the franchise get a veteran defenseman back who can add depth on the blueline, but they are also getting one more year of leadership from their locker room leader.
