The deal sees the Golden Knights send Nicolas Roy to the Toronto Maple Leafs in exchange for Marner, who will avoid free agency by signing an eight-year, $96 million contract in Vegas. Marner will run the Golden Knights $12 million per year, which is less than some expected him to fetch on the open market.

The Vegas Golden Knights have reportedly acquired Mitch Marner in a sign-and-trade with Toronto Maple Leafs and are giving the 28-year-old two-time All-Star an eight-year contract worth $96 million.

The deal materialized after days of speculation about a trade involving Marner’s rights and after multiple previous failed attempts.
