The Vegas Golden Knights have signed defenseman Shea Theodore to a seven-year contract extension with a $7.425 million wage cap hit.
Puck Pedia: Wage breakdown for Theodore’s deal
2025-26: $1M Wage & $8.5M Signing Bonus
2026-27: 1M & 8.5M SB
2027-28: $1M & 7.6M SB

2031-32: $5.7M million
There’s a no-trade clause for the primary 5 years and a 15-team no-trade clause for the ultimate two years.
SinBin.vegas: “This makes Theodore the 2nd highest-paid defenseman on VGK behind Alex Pietrangelo ($8.8m), barely in entrance of Noah Hanifin ($7.35m). VGK will now have $23.575 million locked into the highest three defensemen, roughly 25.6% of subsequent season’s wage cap.”
Theodore’s microstats inform the story of a participant who’s very gifted with the puck, no shock to anybody who’s watched him. There’s a little bit of smoke suggesting his defence won’t be as unhealthy as xG makes it appear, however that’s clearly murky territory. pic.twitter.com/ns1StnwfP8
