Joshua Roy

Roy showed promise with AHL Laval during the 2024-25 regular season, supplying 20 goals and 35 points in 47 outings, but he was limited to two points (both goals) across 12 appearances with the Canadiens. He averaged just 11:01 of ice time during his time with Montreal last season, so that probably contributed to the lack of offense, but it will be difficult for the 22-year-old to earn a bigger role, especially as more highly regarded young forwards like Ivan Demidov seem to have leapfrogged him on the organizational depth chart. Roy isn’t a good bet to make the Canadiens’ Opening Night roster, but he would be worth keeping an eye on if he gets any work at the top level this year. Read Past Outlooks
