The Vegas Golden Knights announced that the new deal will carry through the 2020-21 season and is worth an average annual value of $716,667.
Bischoff will earn $700,000 in the first two years of his new deal and then $750,000 in the third and final year of the contract, per CapFriendly.
This is the latest in a string of shrewd but minor moves by the Vegas front office who have made depth a huge priority this offseason.
It shouldn’t be the last deal done either with veteran blueliner Deryk Engelland reportedly on the cusp of signing a new one-year contract, while rookie defenseman Jimmy Schuldt also needs to be paid.
