The Vegas Golden Knights have dealt forward Erik Haula to the Carolina Hurricanes for prospect Nicolas Roy, a source told The Athletic's Jesse Granger on Wednesday.
Vegas will also receive a conditional fifth-round pick as part of the deal, according to TSN's Pierre LeBrun.
Haula missed the final 67 regular-season games and all seven of the Golden Knights' playoff contests this spring due to a knee injury suffered in November.
He's under contract for one more campaign at a cap hit of $2.75 million, according to CapFriendly.
The 28-year-old notched 29 goals and 55 points with Vegas in 2017-18 before serving as the team's second-line center during its improbable run to the Stanley Cup Final.
The Golden Knights claimed Haula from the Minnesota Wild in the 2017 expansion draft.
Roy, a 22-year-old center, spent most of the 2018-19 campaign with the Hurricanes' AHL affiliate, the Charlotte Checkers. He tallied 17 goals and 36 regular-season points for the Checkers before adding 15 points in 19 postseason games as Charlotte captured the Calder Cup.
