Stephenson recorded 51 points last year with the Golden Knights as their second-line center. He boasts two Stanley Cup victories, one against the Golden Knights in 2018 and another with them in 2023. In Seattle, he is set to join Matty Beniers, Jared McCann, and Jordan Eberle, likely slotting in as their second-line center.
