The Vegas Golden Knights have signed centerman Nicolas Roy to a 5-year deal, as of today with an AAV of $3 million. Roy ended 2021-2022, with 15 goals and 24 assists, for 39 points, at this point a definite role play.
Roy's been in the organization for three years now and this past season was his best season in the league, after spending the majority of his time in the Hurricanes organization in the AHL with the Charlotte Checkers.
Roy certainly has upside, but can Bruce Cassidy turn him into more than a role player? This signing also puts the Golden Knights $5,750,000 over the cap, so a corresponding move is definitely imminent.
