- Vegas Golden Knights forward Keegan Kolesar has an important summer ahead of him, as the pending restricted free agent has new contract negotiations and a potential arbitration date to focus on in the coming months. Now, you can add injury rehab as well. According to Golden Knights GM Kelly McCrimmon, as relayed by The Athletic’s Jesse Granger, Kolesar underwent surgery recently and is “rehabbing fine.” This injury news comes after a season where Kolesar was one of the few Golden Knights able to stay consistently healthy. Kolesar was one of only seven Golden Knights to cross the 70 games played plateau, and provided physical bottom-six play. The surgery could complicate things a bit, but Kolesar should still earn a decent raise from his $725k cap hit.
