Golden Knights Sign Lukas Cormier

July 8, 2025 at 4:25 pm CDT | by Gabriel Foley 3 Comments

The Vegas Golden Knights have signed defenseman Lukas Cormier to one-year contract. Financial terms of the deal haven’t yet been disclosed. Cormier’s last contract was a three-year, $2.38MM entry-level contract signed in December of 2020. That deal qualified for a two-year slide, allowing Cormier to remain under contract through the 2024-25 season.

Cormier joined the Vegas organization in the third-round of the 2020 NHL Draft, coming off a strong season with the QMJHL’s Charlottetown Islanders. He signed his first pro contract two months after the draft, but continued on with Charlottetown for the next two seasons. In total, Cormier racked up 207 points across 208 junior games, including 81 points in 62 games of the 2021-22 season. That same year, Cormier joined Team Canada for the 2022 World Junior Championship, where he scored five points in seven games.

Cormier joined the AHL’s Henderson Silver Knights in the following season. He recorded 35 points, 44 penalty minutes, and a minus-12 through 62 games in his rookie year. That performance was enough to show that Cormier’s puck-moving ability could translate to the pro flight. He continued to perform with 20 points in 58 games of the 2023-24 season. He also received the first two games of his NHL career that year, and recorded one assist. Cormier seemed on track to continue carving away a path to the show, until news of an undisclosed off-season injury delayed the start of his 2024-25 season to March. He managed nine points in 19 games upon returning.

The Golden Knights will bet that Cormier hasn’t lost a step due to injury with a one-year extension. That will be his runway to earning a chance at NHL minutes, and another contract when he reenters restricted-free agency next summer.
