Pietrangelo had an assist, three blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Ducks.

EDGE Analysis

Pietrangelo led all Vegas blueliners with 25:30 -- the team used an unconventional 13-forward, five-defensemen roster for the season opener. Pietrangelo has exceeded 40 points in each of the last four seasons and in eight of the last 10. If Thursday is anything to go by, he's going to play a ton of minutes as the top rearguard for the Golden Knights in 2020-21.

Pietrangelo, who signed a seven-year, $61.6 million contract following eight seasons with the Blues, participated in the first scrimmage with the Golden Knights on Monday, David Schoen of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

According to Schoen, Pietrangelo was plugged in on the right side of Brayden McNabb to open training camp. A power-play quarterback who won the Stanley Cup as the team captain for St. Louis in 2019, Pietrangelo projects to remain on the top pair despite the change of scenery. From a fantasy perspective, the savvy defender should be one of the first blueliners off the board, as he's averaged 0.59 points per game over the course of his career.

Petrangelo and the Golden Knights agreed to a seven-year, $8.8 million AAV contract on Monday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

One of the most highly anticipated signings of the 2020 offseason, Pietrangelo has finally reached an agreement with Vegas. The 30-year-old blueliner has scored at least 40 points in each of the last four seasons, including 52 with a career-high 16 goals during the 2019-20 campaign. Last season was also his third top-five finish in Norris Trophy voting. Pietrangelo will be an anchor for the Golden Knights' defensive group.

Pietrangelo and the Golden Knights are closing in on a deal, Jeremy Rutherford of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nothing is set in stone yet, but even Blues GM Doug Armstrong has admitted that it's "looking like" the team is done with free-agent signings, according to Tom Timmermann of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. The Golden Knights would be an excellent fit for Pietrangelo, as they've been perrenial contenders since entering the league. The 30-year-old blueliner can handle a major workload, as he averaged 24:11 of ice time per game last season, recording 52 points through 70 contests. The contract could be finalized as early as Sunday night.

Pietrangelo is traveling to Vegas to meet with the Golden Knights, Pierre LeBrun of TSN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Under normal circumstances, this type of visit would have occurred in the interview period before free agency opened. Instead, Pietrangelo will hear the club's best offer as he decides where he wants to play next season. In 14 playoff appearances, the blueliner garnered four goals and five helpers, including five points scored with the man advantage. With the Golden Knights, Pietrangelo could unseat Shea Theodore on the No. 1 power-play unit, unless coach Pete DeBoer wants to utilize both defensemen.

Pietrangelo and the Blues have reportedly cut off their contract negotiations according to Darren Dreger of TSN.

EDGE Analysis

Of course, nothing is set in stone as there are about three weeks before Pietrangelo would hit the open market, but this could have a huge impact on this offseason. Should he become an unrestricted free agent, the 30-year-old blueliner would be one of the most sought-after names available. If the contract talks truly are finished, expect the Blues to shop his rights around over the next couple of weeks.
