Golden Knights, Nosek avoid arbitration with 1-year deal

Forward Tomas Nosek has agreed to a new one-year, $962,500 contract with the Vegas Golden Knights, the team announced.

Nosek is coming off a two-year contract that carried a $612,500 annual cap hit.

By re-signing with the Golden Knights, Nosek avoided an arbitration hearing that was set for July 30. He will be a restricted free agent once his new agreement expires.

In 67 games with Vegas last season, Nosek notched seven goals and eight assists. The 25-year-old then upped his production in the postseason, tallying six points across 17 appearances, including the game-winning goal in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final.

The Golden Knights claimed Nosek from the Detroit Red Wings in last summer's expansion draft.
