What happened: The Vegas Golden Knights signed winger Victor Olofsson to a one-year contract worth $1,638,330 on Wednesday. The move gives Vegas a cost-controlled scoring option after it dealt two-time leading goal scorer Pavel Dorofeyev to the New York Rangers. Olofsson, who turns 31 before the season, is a familiar face in the room after a prior stint with the club.

Why it matters: With limited cap flexibility a factor in moving Dorofeyev, Vegas prioritized value over a splashy replacement and turned to a known quantity. As a left-shot with a heavy one-timer, Olofsson profiles as a natural fit for the power-play spot Dorofeyev vacated. General manager Kelly McCrimmon framed the signing around Olofsson's proven scoring touch and responsible, smart two-way game.

What to watch: Watch where Olofsson lands in the lineup, with a power-play look alongside the top unit and a likely 5-on-5 pairing with Hertl on the third line as Karlsson stays with Brett Howden and Mitch Marner.
