Vegas Golden Knights Sign Promising Young Forward to Contract Extension
The six-year deal carries a $3.4 million average annual value after Bowman posted 26 points in 54 NHL games last season.
Vegas Golden Knights General Manager Kelly McCrimmon announced Thursday a six-year contract extension for forward Braeden Bowman, worth an average annual value of $3,400,000 through the 2032-33 season.
During the 2025-26 campaign, Bowman played 54 games for the Golden Knights, recording eight goals and 18 assists while adding 26 goals and 36 assists in 34 games for the American Hockey League affiliate in Henderson, Nevada.
Filling in for injured captain Mark Stone early last season, Bowman scored goals in three consecutive games and registered at least one point in five straight contests.
"I'm just trying to establish my identity on the team," Bowman said Tuesday at the team's golf tournament, expressing his goal to become a full-time player for the Golden Knights.
The Golden Knights, who played in the Stanley Cup Final last season against the Carolina Hurricanes, lost that series in six games and now look to build on their competitive roster.
