The Vegas Golden Knights have acquired Mark Stone from the Ottawa Senators.

Vegas agreed to sign Stone to a contract extension with an annual average of $9.5 million. That number competes with some of the highest salaries in the league because Nevada has no state income tax.

Vegas traded defenseman Erik Brannstrom, 19, who was selected 15th overall in 2017 along with Oscar Lindberg and a second-round pick in 2019 that belonged to the Dallas Stars.
