During his appearance on 98.5 in Montreal, the former defenseman and now the Canadiens' player development coach, Francis Bouillon, openly declared that things have been brewing recently between him and the young Quebec forward.
Often, the youngsters who return from the World Juniors already see themselves in the NHL and Bouillon wanted to set the record straight with Roy by telling him that there was still a lot of work to be done before reaching the NHL.
We agree that it's totally normal for a young person to be on cloud nine after winning a gold medal. Having an experienced man like the former CH defenseman, who has always fought to win a position with the big club, can only be beneficial for the young man who is still having a stellar season in junior.
A fifth round pick of the Habs in the 2021 draft, Roy has 53 points so far this season, including 23 goals, in 32 games with Sherbrooke. His team will be one to watch for the rest of the season, as the Phoenix are going for broke this year.
