LAS VEGAS — The Vegas Golden Knights have signed Brandon Saad to a contract for the remainder of the NHL season. Saad's deal for a prorated $1.5 million came together less than an hour after he cleared unconditional waivers and the St. Louis Blues terminated the final two years of his previous contract. Saad agreed to a mutual termination after going on waivers to become a free agent rather than play in the minors. The 32-year-old forward has struggled to produce this season, putting up just 16 points in 43 games.
