After emerging as a key bottom-six threat in his rookie year, Roy has been rewarded by the Golden Knights with a new contract.
The length of the deal is two-years and it will carry an annual average value of $750,000, while it is also a one-way contract.
That latter fact is important because it means that Roy is no longer waiver-exempt, while he also won’t be yo-yoing between the NHL and the AHL as he did this year prior to sports going on lockdown.
Roy was a pending Restricted Free Agent but he can now rest easy knowing that he’s committed to the Golden Knights for at least the next two years.
