VEGAS (September 12, 2023) – Vegas Golden Knights General Manager Kelly McCrimmon announced today, September 12, that the team has signed forward Maxime Comtois to a professional tryout agreement.
Comtois, 24, has spent parts of five seasons with the Anaheim Ducks since being drafted by the club in the second round (50th overall) of the 2017 NHL Entry Draft.
