Canadiens Prospect Set for Key Meeting With Kent Hughes as Trade Possibility Looms
According to Anthony Martineau of TVA Sports, Joshua Roy's camp is set to meet with Kent Hughes in the coming days to clarify his future with the organization.
The goal of this meeting is simple: to obtain a clear plan regarding the young forward.
But beware-if the discussion does not prove satisfactory for either party, the scenario of a departure via trade could quickly enter the conversation.
"The Joshua Roy clan will have a meeting with the CH soon.
The goal? To clarify the plan regarding the Quebecois forward.
If the meeting is not deemed satisfactory for one or both parties, I would not be at all surprised to see the young man traded in the coming months."

I've been saying it for a long time-the 22-year-old forward has shown impressive progress since arriving in the professional ranks.
He has managed to establish himself as a major offensive prospect, and I've often heard that several NHL teams are keeping a close eye on him.
Anthony Martineau did not close the door on a possibility that would spark strong reactions, suggesting that if the meeting does not go well for either side, a trade involving the young player would not be surprising.
On the Canadiens' side, this case is delicate. On one hand, I truly believe Roy represents future potential in the offensive top-nine.
On the other hand, his development seems to be slowing down a bit, and the lack of opportunities at the NHL level could push him to look elsewhere.
In my view, Montreal absolutely needs to handle this case carefully.
And honestly, I think letting a Quebec talent like Joshua Roy slip away could anger fans-especially if he were to become a top player elsewhere in the league.
As for Joshua Roy, he keeps his spirits up and knows the hardest work is yet to come.
The upcoming meeting with Canadiens management therefore promises to be decisive. I'm very eager to see how it turns out.
