He also played a further 600 games in the European top leagues in Russia, Sweden and Slovakia. Nagy celebrated his greatest career success in the jersey of the Slovak national team by winning the gold medal at the 2002 World Cup , which is considered one of the biggest surprises in ice hockey history.

Career

Ladislav Nagy began his career in 1995 with the HC Košice juniors . As early as 1996/97 he came to his first assignments with the professionals of HK Dragon Presov in the extra league . There he scored eleven points in eleven games and was then selected by the St. Louis Blues in the 1997 NHL Entry Draft in the seventh round in 177th position.

After another year in Slovakia, which he spent again at Košice, he moved to North America in the Canadian junior league QMJHL to the Halifax Mooseheads . There he was able to fully convince when he scored 71 goals in 63 games and was called to the Worcester IceCats , the farm team of the St. Louis Blues, during the playoffs in the AHL . There he contributed four points in the remaining three games.

The 1999/2000 season he then completed with the IceCats, but also came to his first appearances for the Blues in the NHL . 2000/01 he played rarely for the farm team and more often for the St. Louis Blues in the NHL, before he was transferred to the Phoenix Coyotes in March 2001 along with Michal Handzuš , Jeff Taffe and a first-round draft pick for Keith Tkachuk . In his first full season in Phoenix, he increased his productivity significantly to 42 points and even managed 52 points in the 2003/04 season , although he had only completed 55 games due to injury.

During the 2004/05 lockout season he played for HC Košice in Slovakia and for Mora IK in the Swedish Elitserien .

After returning to Phoenix, he had to fight injuries again in 2005/06 and had to end his season in February 2006 because he had to undergo knee surgery. Nevertheless, he managed a convincing performance with 56 points in 51 games.

In the 2006/07 season Nagy was again one of the Coyotes' best scorers, but it was clear relatively quickly that the team would not make it into the playoffs. On February 12, 2007 he was transferred to the Dallas Stars for Mathias Tjärnqvist and a first-round draft pick . Although he was able to qualify for the playoffs with the stars, they failed in the first round at the Vancouver Canucks .

In the summer of 2007, Nagy moved to the Los Angeles Kings , but could only participate in 38 games due to an injury. In August 2008, he signed a two-year contract for 5.6 million dollars at Severstal Cherepovets in the KHL . After the contract expired, Nagy returned to Slovakia in the summer of 2010 and was signed by HK Poprad , for whom he scored 29 points in 24 games. In December 2010 he was hired by MODO Hockey together with Ľuboš Bartečko . For the 2011/12 season, the Slovak moved to KHL newcomer HC Lev Poprad . For the team he scored seven goals and twelve assists in 30 games before his contract was prematurely terminated in January 2012. A short time later, the Slovak agreed on a contract until the end of the 2011/12 season at HK Dinamo Minsk from the Continental Hockey League . In the following season he played again for MODO Hockey in the Elitserien, before he returned to his hometown club HC Košice in July 2013.

Between November 2013 and May 2014 he was under contract with Jokerit in the Liiga , before he was signed for two years by HC Slovan Bratislava from the KHL in 2014 . In 99 games for Bratislava, Nagy scored 30 goals and contributed 26 assists. After his contract with Slovan expired, Nagy signed a two-year contract with his hometown club HC Košice in summer 2016 and became the team's captain. There he was twice top scorer in the Extraliga before he declared his career over in spring 2019 a few days before his 40th birthday.

For the Slovak U20 national team Nagy took part in the U20 Junior World Championships in 1998 and 1999 , where he was the top scorer of the tournament with six goals in 1998 and won the bronze medal in 1999.
