Cody Glass, Nick Suzuki and Erik Brannstrom all agreed to terms with Vegas.
"It's amazing and I feel great about this," said Brannstrom, via phone from Sweden. "I've already begun training and I'm ready to begin the road towards playing in Vegas."

Brannstrom was taken 15th overall in the first round and could prove to be a steal at that spot.
