- The Maple Leafs should be open to trading Nicolas Roy if they receive a significant return.
- Roy, a bottom-six center with a $3 million AAV contract through next season, has value as a penalty killer and faceoff specialist.
- Several teams, including the Oilers, Avalanche, Kings, and Canadiens, are reportedly looking for centers, creating a potential market for Roy.
- Trading Roy could open up more ice time for Scott Laughton and allow for an extended audition for Jacob Quillan.
