Is Joshua Roy headed to Columbus?

With the Canadiens holding the 5th overall pick, speculation surrounding the NHL draft has intensified.

Georges Laraque and Stéphane Gonzalez from BPM Sports deliberated on Kent Hughes' drafting options, concurring that Cayden Lindstrom should be a priority. However, Lindstrom might be selected before the Canadiens' turn.

To secure Lindstrom, Hughes might consider trading up, potentially offering the Jets' 1st-round pick along with the 5th overall pick.

A simulation between Laraque, representing the Canadiens, and Gonzalez, for the Blue Jackets, proposed a trade where Columbus would receive Roy in addition to Montreal's pick.

Despite Gonzalez's reluctance to pay a hefty price for moving up in the draft, this fictitious discussion underscores the rarity and complexity of trades involving first-round picks.
