It was announced on Wednesday that the Vegas Golden Knights had re-signed forward Nicolas Roy to a two-year contract extension, a one-way deal carrying an Average Annual Value of $750,000.
We broke down the deal for both sides, which you can read below, but it was a win-win transaction for player and team from every single aspect.
It also highlighted just how far Roy has come in a short space of time.
Fresh off helping the Charlotte Checkers win the Calder Trophy in 2018-19, beating Vegas’ AHL affiliate the Chicago Wolves in the Final ironically enough, Roy found himself on the move after being part of the trade that sent forward Erik Haula to the Carolina Hurricanes last off-season.
