The Golden Knights have lost another Original Misfit.

Left wing William Carrier, who spent the last seven seasons with the Knights, signed a six-year, $12 million contract with the Carolina Hurricanes the first day of NHL free agency Monday.

The Knights grabbed Carrier from the Buffalo Sabres in the 2017 expansion draft. The 29-year-old has been a fourth-line staple ever since. He appeared in 372 games with the Knights, scoring 99 points.

Injuries have held Carrier back the past few years. He missed 88 games the last three seasons.
