Confirmed Signing with Link: [VGK] F Nicolas Roy signs extension with Golden Knights (5 years, $3M AAV)

[BKarchitect]

He’s really turned himself into a good player and I think there still a bit left in the locker. Great deal for Vegas.

 

[Artorius Horus T]

So that leaves about 2M for Hague ?

he is gonna walk, right?

isn't he like worth at least twice than that
with current markets

no way he accepts a contract aav under 2 mill

 

[TheNumber4]

Good deal for the Knights. Bad deal for Roy, he should fire his agent. A 3C capable of putting up .5 PPG? Yeh that’s worth a lot more than 3M. Then you consider the ridiculous 5 year term that eats into UFA years. Yeh Roy’s agent did him dirty.

It's tough to say. It may seem like he was done dirty but there is a serious cap squeeze this year. It's rough.

Securing 15 million for your player and now he doesn't have to worry about injury is some serious piece of mind.

 

[Voight]

Certainly some risk given this year was his career high in point (39) but at 25 theres room for improvement/development.

Maybe, but he did also get a bump playing more games on the top two lines because of injuries than he realistically should when the team is healthy. I know he played at least 8 games on the second line with Smith and March and a few games with Eichel.

I mean Liljegren signed for 1.4.

I don't think it's a stretch to suggest that unless he has a bounce back, Karlsson might not be as good offensively as Roy.

 

[tsujimoto74]

So who do they trade now

Nicolas Roy

That sounds like a worst case scenario considering Wild Bill’s contract

I'm not saying it's a good thing necessarily. Karlsson was our most disappointing forward in my eyes. But then again, if we dumped his cap and Roy took his place, I'd bet he'd have at least 50 points. Which is decent for a 2c

May be hard to dump Will's contract if he struggles again. Also, would Chandler not be the 2C then? I assume Jack is 1C

 

[Wats]

Steal contract, wish Montreal was able to steal him.
