The Toronto Maple Leafs have traded Nicolas Roy to the Colorado Avalanche, getting a first and a fifth round pick in return.
Roy, who was acquired by the Maple Leafs last summer in the Mitch Marner trade with the Vegas Golden Knights, will head to Colorado as they look to win their second cup with the Mackinnon/Makar core.
Here is the statement from the Toronto Maple Leafs organization:
The Toronto Maple Leafs announced today that the hockey club has traded forward Nicolas Roy to the Colorado Avalanche in exchange for a conditional first-round selection in the 2027 NHL Draft and a conditional fifth-round selection in the 2026 NHL Draft.
In the event Colorado's 2027 first-round selection is in the top-10 of the 2027 NHL Draft, Colorado will send its unprotected 2028 first-round pick to Toronto. Colorado currently holds three fifth-round selections in the 2026 NHL Draft; the lowest of those three picks will be transferred to Toronto as part of the transaction.

The Avalanche acquired defenseman Brett Kulak last week in exchange for defenseman Samuel Girard and a second round pick. They're clearly all-in.
More to come.
