Joshua Roy had a very impressive first professional season. He was an important player for the Rocket and also stepped in to help the Canadiens in Montreal.

For a fifth-round pick in 2021, it's almost a steal by the Canadiens' scouting team.
Is the Quebecer ready to make the jump to the NHL full-time next season? Columnist Marc Dumont, via Montreal Hockey Now, believes he deserves more credit.
«He is versatile, smart, talented, and has quickly adapted to all levels of play throughout his hockey career. As long as the Canadiens continue to give him opportunities, he should be able to increase his value to the team.

And to think that 149 players had their names called by NHL teams before the Canadiens selected Roy in the fifth round of the 2021 NHL Draft.

Training camp will largely determine where he starts the season, but Roy's statistics from his first NHL stint show a player with the potential to become a key forward for the organization. We all know he scored four goals and added five assists in 21 games, which translates to 14 goals and 18 assists in an 82-game season.»

With Rafael Harvey-Pinard's recent injury, Roy deserves a legitimate chance to start the season in the NHL.
He could be used on a defensive line, but also potentially in the top-6 and on the power play.
Joshua Roy still has room to grow, but he certainly has the potential to become a key player for the Canadiens in the coming seasons.
It's up to him to prove it during the upcoming training camp. The ball is somewhat in his court.
