Golden Knights sign Pacioretty to 4-year, $28M extension

The Vegas Golden Knights signed newly acquired forward Max Pacioretty to a four-year, $28-million contract, the team announced Monday.

The contract includes a limited 10-team no-trade clause, according to CapFriendly.

Pacioretty was traded from Montreal to Vegas early Monday morning in exchange for forward Tomas Tatar, prospect Nick Suzuki, and a 2019 second-round pick.

Pacioretty's 2018-19 cap hit will remain $4.05 million, as established by his old deal, with the new extension kicking in for the 2019-20 season.

Earlier Monday, Canadiens general manager Marc Bergevin said the trade was contingent upon Pacioretty signing in Vegas long term.
