Hilary Knight will play for PWHL expansion Detroit via sign-and-trade with Las Vegas, AP source says
The 36-year-old U.S. star will join Detroit after a sign-and-trade that gives Las Vegas the expansion team’s first-round draft pick.
- On Monday, hockey star Hilary Knight agreed to a sign-and-trade deal, signing a foundational contract with Las Vegas before moving to the PWHL expansion team in Detroit.
- Expansion rules restricted the Seattle Torrent to protecting only three players, forcing the team to part with Knight after she signed there last year.
- The 36-year-old Knight, a five-time Olympian, recently captained Team USA to a gold-medal win at the Milan Cortina Games and secures a foundational contract guaranteeing at least $100,000 per season.
- In Detroit, Knight joins teammates Britta Curl-Salemme, Hannah Bilka, and Cayla Barnes while reuniting with newly hired coach Josh Sciba, who previously assisted Team USA.
- Las Vegas will trade Knight to Detroit in exchange for a first-round draft pick, though the deal remains unofficial until the league's trade freeze lifts on June 16.
