Report: Knights, Reaves agree to 2-year deal

After much back and forth, Ryan Reaves will remain a Vegas Golden Knight, as the two sides agreed to a new contract Saturday which will see Reaves on the Strip for the next two seasons, according to TSN's Darren Dreger. The contract carries an annual average value of close to $2.8 million, per Dreger.

The scrappy winger is coming off a regular season in which he registered four goals and six assists across 79 games split between Vegas and the Pittsburgh Penguins. Reaves also had a solid Stanley Cup Final for the Knights, as he registered the game-tying goal in Game 1 versus the Washington Capitals.

Reaves was dealt to Vegas in February from Pittsburgh along with a 2018 fourth-round pick for forward Tobias Lindberg. Reaves can officially sign his new deal on Sunday.
