Dadonov is in the final year of a three-year contract he originally signed with the Ottawa Senators. It pays him $6.5 million this season, but the cap hit is $5.0 million. He was traded to the Golden Knights last summer. The Knights reportedly traded Dadonov to Anaheim for cap relief at the trade deadline, but the Ducks were on his no trade list and the deal was cancelled by the league.

Weber did not play this past season due to ankle and knee injuries. His NHL career appears to be over. The Golden Knights are likely to put him on LTIR. His contract pays him $3 million this year and $1 million in each of the next three years. His cap hit is $7,857,143 per season.
