Fri Jan 31 19:40:00 UTC 2025: ## Saad Signs with Vegas After Blues Buyout

**LAS VEGAS, NV** – Veteran forward Brandon Saad is heading to the desert. A source confirmed to ESPN that Saad is finalizing a contract with the Vegas Golden Knights after a mutual contract termination with the St. Louis Blues.

Saad, 32, was placed on waivers by the Blues on Wednesday before the team and the player agreed to part ways. The Blues had reportedly attempted to trade Saad for several months without success. His performance this season with St. Louis was underwhelming, with only 16 points (7 goals, 9 assists) in 43 games – a career-low shooting percentage.

A two-time Stanley Cup champion with the Chicago Blackhawks (2013, 2015), Saad spent the last four seasons with the Blues. His move to Vegas marks a fresh start for the veteran forward as he aims to contribute to the Golden Knights’ playoff push.
