Trade rumors are quite intense right now surrounding the Montreal Canadiens.
We know that Carey Price should be traded any minute now, and we know that this will open the door to a second trade on offense for Kent Hughes.
In this regard, the names of the Chicago Blackhawks, the San Jose Sharks, and the Pittsburgh Penguins have been brought up.
We've talked quite a bit about the Sharks, who have officially been in contact with Kent Hughes regarding such a trade.
But now let's talk about the Chicago Blackhawks.
Joshua Roy involved in the trade, if Carey Price is moved to Chicago?
This is indeed a possibility that's creating more and more buzz.
As reported by Julien Daignault from RDT, it's a scenario that makes a lot of sense.
"Most observers expect that the Canadiens will have to pay at least a 2nd-round pick to convince a team to take Price's contract, but it's not impossible that Kent Hughes instead decides to offer a young player with some potential to get the deal done."

And this is where the name of Joshua Roy comes into the discussion.
It's very difficult to evaluate, but if Kent Hughes does in fact need to add a "sweetener" in order to offload Carey Price's heavy contract, the name of Joshua Roy makes sense, especially for a young team on the rise like the Chicago Blackhawks.
"I believe the asset will be a Josh Roy or Beck along with a 3rd- and 5th-round pick." - Lajoie
Let's also recall what we reported to you, exclusively, a few months ago; Joshua Roy could reportedly request a trade from the Canadiens under one condition.
A story to keep an eye on!
