BREAKING: Canadiens Set to Part Ways with Joshua Roy, Claims Georges Laraque—Top Forward Target Already in Sight!

In a surprising development, former NHL enforcer and sports analyst Georges Laraque has claimed that the Montreal Canadiens will not be bringing back promising forward Joshua Roy next season. Speaking on BPM Sports, Laraque suggested that the organization is ready to move on from the young winger despite his potential.

Roy, 20, has shown flashes of brilliance since being drafted by the Canadiens in the fifth round of the 2021 NHL Draft. His offensive skills and hockey IQ have made him one of the most exciting prospects in Montreal’s system. However, with the team focusing on its rebuild, Laraque believes management has other plans.

“I don’t see him coming back next year,” Laraque said. “The Canadiens are looking at other options, and from what I’ve heard, they already have a top forward target in mind.”

While Laraque did not specify who Montreal might be targeting, speculation is already swirling. Some insiders believe the Canadiens could be eyeing a more experienced NHL player via trade or free agency, possibly someone who can provide immediate offensive production.

Roy’s future with the team remains uncertain, and while there has been no official confirmation from the Canadiens, Laraque’s comments have sparked intense debate among fans. As the offseason approaches, all eyes will be on Montreal’s front office to see if they indeed part ways with one of their most promising young players.
