Carolina Hurricanes Prospect Profile: Nicolas Roy

The Carolina Hurricanes selected Nicolas Roy in the fourth round (96th overall) in the 2015 NHL Draft. Roy has the size and skill to be a dominant center. However, in his first two junior seasons he hasn’t met the expectations of a former first overall QMJHL pick. That led to him sliding from first-round lock to potential fourth-round steal at this summer’s NHL draft. He has a great frame and very good puck skills, and is a great faceoff man. If Roy puts it all together, he could have teams wishing they had taken a chance on him.
