Avalanche add veteran center Nicolas Roy in conditional-picks trade
Colorado Avalanche acquire center Nicolas Roy from the Toronto Maple Leafs in exchange for a conditional first-round pick in 2027 and a conditional fifth-round pick in 2026; Roy, 29, posted 20 points (5G-15A) in 59 games last season and adds size, face-off ability (~53%), and playoff experience (including a 2023 Stanley Cup with Vegas) to bolster the Avs’ depth.
