The Golden Knights have acquired Chandler Stephenson from the Washington Capitals for a 2021 5th round pick. Stephenson is a 25-year-old forward who was drafted by George McPhee in the 3rd round of the 2012 NHL Draft.
Stephenson’s best season was in 2017-18 when he scored 18 points (6G, 12A) in 67 games. He is a bottom-six type player who kills penalties and plays about 10 minutes a night.
Stephenson has one year left on his contract at $1,050,000. He is an RFA with arbitration rights this summer.
Darren Dreger reports the Golden Knights have given up a 5th round pick in exchange for Stephenson.

Perhaps this is the Zykov move? Is he buddies with Ovi?

Stephenson has speed and is a good penalty killer. He will give the 4th line some zip and give the pk some depth.
