Keith Kavanaugh: “Nico Hischier, one among your top clients, is eligible for an extension starting on July 1st. It’s already been reported that you simply had some initial conversations with Sunny Mehta. Walk us through type of that process when you’ve gotten a client whose extension eligible. He’s a player at a premium position. He’s a two-way beast. He’s a man that’s going to do rather well on his next contract. He’s in his prime years straight away.”
Roy: “Sunny’s a brand new GM gentleman. Very, very nice guy, very smart, very sharp, especially numbers guy. We’ve had a pair conversations. Straight away, it’s still – we’re still not type of formulating any finite numbers yet.
Nico and I, and Nico just finished the World Championships, where they lost the gold in a heartbreaking time beyond regulation. So, you understand, I’ve type of let him play there, because he, like, he really desired to win gold for Switzerland. For him, he’s the captain, it’s his team, they picked him first.

In fact, we’re having conversations about, ‘hey, what’s it going to seem like if we stay.’ And also you’re right to make the comment, especially a top-tier player.
He’s at its highest point of his value, when you were going to trade him the 12 months before his contract expires, because then you possibly can probably do an indication and trade, and anyone knows they’ve got them, and all that great things, right? Don’t think it might be Sunny’s alternative to attend until next summer.
So, yeah, the following, the following month’s going to be essential. Work out type of where things are at. But hey, Nico is a specific player. He brings offense. He’s so good defensive. He’s good within the face-off circle. He’s type of (Aleksander) Barkov 2.0 just a little bit, right?”
