Sunday saw some noteworthy news for the Vegas Golden Knights. They signed 2026 NHL Draft pick Alex Weiermair to a three-year entry-level contract, giving him a "prove-it" deal of sorts. The sixth-round pick has had a decorated amateur stint, making his mark in leagues such as the WHL's Portland Winterhawks.
This season, he has 32 goals and 43 assists in 57 games with Portland. He's scored 53 goals and 68 assists in two seasons, making him one of the most successful players in the WHL. That's good enough to fetch such a deal, giving him a chance to prove himself in Vegas's minor league system.
