Mark Stone signs two-year extension with Vegas Golden Knights

sportsSep 12, 20261288

The Vegas Golden Knights signed captain Mark Stone to a two-year, $18 million extension, the team announced Saturday. The deal carries a $9 million average annual value and runs through the 2028-29 season, a slightly lower cap hit than his current $9.5 million AAV. Stone, 34 and entering his ninth season with Vegas and seventh as captain, was set to become an unrestricted free agent after the upcoming season. He comes off a 73-point season in 60 games and is described by the team as a top even-strength play driver, a key special teams contributor, and an emotional leader. Stone has a notable injury history and will turn 35 in May, but he told reporters on June 16, "I want to keep playing as long as I can." From the Golden Knights' perspective the $9 million AAV should provide value; Stone will be the club's third-highest-paid player and the team projects $86.8 million in cap hit for 2027-28 when this extension is in effect.

Mark Stone (2x9m extension with Vegas) is a great converter of team offence into goals, very strong defensively, great on the powerplay, puts his team on the powerplay. Also he should have been a senator for life.

One of several true treats about covering the Olympics was getting to watch Stone play for two weeks.

He’s not Mark Stone but this reminds me of the Evangelista trade Just because you’re in a rebuild doesn’t mean you HAVE to trade a 24-year-old budding star. There’s always another way

Hearing there's a big performance bonus if he gets hurt leading up to the trade deadline

This contract is a great deal for the Golden Knights. Patrick Kane just signed a comparable two-year deal worth $8M per season, and Stone is in a different tier entirely (at the current stages of their respective careers).

Mark Stone getting paid $9M per year is way too much money for a man who is perpetually broken

It wasn’t a matter of if the Golden Knights would extend Mark Stone. Just when, and how much. They took care of that important piece of business Saturday with the captain inking a 2-year extension. Story, with comments from Kelly McCrimmon: www.reviewjournal.com/sports/golde...

Hm. Mark Stone is one of the best all-around players in the #NHL, but you have to know you're paying him to play 60 games, and hoping he's able to skate in the playoffs.

Grading the NHL moves this week: Vancouver's big, expensive bet on Zeev Buium. The Ducks dump Chris Kreider. What is Fraser Minten's upside? Mark Stone stays in Vegas. adamgretz.substack.com/p/grading-th...
