Do not be surprised if a trade is announced soon by Kent Hughes and the Montreal Canadiens.
As we reported to you exclusively last May, Joshua Roy had targeted the age of 22 or 23 as the deadline he was giving himself to establish himself with the Montreal Canadiens for good.
Since he still has not established himself with the Habs, everything indicates that he will indeed demand a trade.
According to exclusive information from very reliable sources, and it really looks like it is about to be confirmed.
A meeting scheduled for Joshua Roy and Kent Hughes: it smells like a trade
Here's what TVA Sports journalist Anthony Martineau just reported.
"The Joshua Roy clan will have a meeting with the CH soon.
The goal? To clarify the plan regarding the Quebecois forward.
If the meeting is not deemed satisfactory for one or both parties, I would not be at all surprised to see the young man traded in the coming months."

This absolutely corroborates the information I also have in hand, and I can even tell you that the trade request is indeed likely to come directly from Joshua Roy.
"Honestly, it fascinates me that a player with Joshua Roy's status would dare to request a trade (if that's indeed the case eventually).
You've had opportunities to seize. You could've done things differently, better, on and off the ice.
It's not like a team is going to hand him a top 6 spot on a silver platter. He's going to have to earn it, no matter where.
Oh well, if it makes him happy and the organization gets a decent asset.. why not!"

I would even tell you that he has been thinking about it for a while, at least according to what I have learned.
Joshua Roy, 22 years old, is a 6-foot, 192-pound Quebec forward who was a fifth-round pick of the Montreal Canadiens in 2021.
Last season, he collected 35 points in 47 games, including 20 goals.
