Golden Knights sign William Karlsson to a 2-year, $13.5 million extension

The deal takes the 33-year-old center through the 2028-29 season. He and defensemen Brayden McNabb and Shea Theodore have been in the organization for its entire 10-year history.

Karlsson is one of the NHL's top two-way players because of his ability to finish at the goal and defend the entire ice. He is second in team history with 165 goals, 403 points, 382 takeaways and a plus-128 rating.

The Golden Knights selected him from Columbus in the 2017 expansion draft, and Karlsson immediately produced 43 goals, which remains the club's single-season record, with a plus-49 rating that led the league. Vegas made the Stanley Cup Final that season before losing to Washington in five games.
