Nic Roy on joining the Maple Leafs: "The Panthers' biggest challenge was the Leafs... This group is ready to win right now"
Briefly

Nicolas Roy was on a trip with friends when he learned about his trade to the Maple Leafs. Initially shocked, he now feels excited about joining the team, which he believes is poised for success after observing them in the playoffs. Having played a crucial role in a Cup-winning team, Roy brings valuable experience and appreciates performing under pressure. He emphasizes that all players must recognize and accept their roles to contribute effectively to reaching team goals.
I was actually with my buddies on a trip. I am getting married in two weeks. It was a good feeling. I was shocked a little bit at first, but I kind of learned about it a couple of days ago.
I want to be a part of a team that is winning. I watched them in the playoffs last year. The Panthers' biggest challenge was the Leafs. This group is ready to win right now.
Any time you win with a team, you know what it takes. There are always going to be ups and downs. The pressure of the moment is really what I enjoy.
Everyone has to accept their role, no matter what it is. You have your skilled players. You have your guys who are going to play 8-10 minutes and have to be willing to play those physical minutes.
