TRADE: Canadiens Send Skilled Forward Prospect to Mammoth
Joshua Roy had 23 goals and 45 points in 57 AHL games this season, while Maksymilian Szuber brings 67 penalty minutes and NHL experience to Montreal.
- The Montreal Canadiens traded forward Joshua Roy to the Utah Mammoth for defenseman Maksymilian Szuber on Monday. Both teams hope the swap provides fresh starts for the young prospects.
- Despite offensive success in the AHL, Roy and Szuber struggled to secure consistent NHL roster spots with their previous teams due to deep depth charts that limited their opportunities.
- Selected in the 2021 NHL Draft, Roy scored 23 goals and 45 points in 57 AHL games with the Laval Rocket last season. Canadiens head coach Martin St. Louis said Roy must "build his runway" to secure a spot.
- The 23-year-old Szuber, a 6-foot-3 defenseman, recorded 27 points in 65 games with the Tucson Roadrunners last season. He previously won a silver medal with Germany at the 2023 IIHF World Championship.
- Both players join new organizations with hopes of playing full-time NHL hockey, seeking to establish themselves. Szuber reunites with former teammates Dylan Guenther and Sebastian Cossa in Salt Lake City, while Roy joins a crowded group of Utah forwards.
