The annual average value of the deal is $3 million. “It was a good feeling. Obviously, shocked a little bit at first,” Roy said in his first media availability after being acquired by Toronto [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJ1sPP3rud8]. “So now I feel really good about it. I've got time to reflect and look at everything, and really excited to join the Leafs for sure.” Roy is coming off his third-best season in the NHL [https://www.nhl.com/mapleleafs/player/nicolas-roy-8478462], where he scored 15 goals and 16 assists in 71 games with Vegas. His best year came in 2021-22, when Roy put up 39 points (15 goals and 24 assists) in 78 games. His 15 goals, in both 2021-22 and 2024-25, are a career-high in the NHL. Drafted by the Carolina Hurricanes in the fourth round (96th overall) during the 2015 NHL Draft, Roy has played 369 games over seven seasons [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/toronto-maple-leafs/latest-news/nicolas-roy-ready-for-top-six-role-with-maple-leafs-whenever-called-upon], scoring 68 goals and 98 assists for 166 points in that span. “I want to be part of a team that's winning and obviously watching just the playoffs last year, I think for the (Florida) Panthers, their biggest challenge was the Leafs,” added Roy. “I think this group is ready to win right now, and that's why I want to be part of a team like that for sure.” Roy will wear number 55 with the Maple Leafs [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/toronto-maple-leafs/latest-news/AP0FeYxTStEji0FG4TR9#google_vignette], since number 10, which he wore with the Golden Knights, was retired by the club back in 2016.
