How many guys have been called up from Laval over the past 3,4 years? How many have made an impact? Briefly, RHP and Roy. Roy didn’t even make the team out of camp! RHP crapped He scores a few goals and all of a sudden he’s top 6 in the nhl? No Laval player is going to move the needle this year. As I said, you think adding yet another 21 year old to the youngest team in the league is going solve their issues?

Why did they call Condotta up anyway? I don’t get why they keep scratching Pezz. He’s really pretty close to Condotta .
Pezzetta always takes dumb penalties and the coach clearly does not like him.

Caufield was sent down for a bit and then called up shortly after. Xhekaj also got sent down then called up. Poehling too. Ylonen played over 30 games after getting called up and wasn't sent down the next year.

Not to mention that if you yourself admit that Roy had an impact from his called up just last year, why would you assume he won't have an impact from his call up this year?

Calling Condotta up doesn't mean Condotta will play over Pezzetta.

My guess is that's because he's a better center than Pezz and they want to keep Evans as the 2nd center for a bit so a 4th line center is required.

Do you seriously call the Caulfield demotion a good thing? That was under the former management and was considered an abomination. As for the rest, please tell me what kind of impact the rest have had? Xhekaj can barely stay in the lineup, Ylonen is not an nhl player and Poehling took years before solidifying an nhl job after being traded multiple times. A couple goals is hardly an impact.
As I said, Roy had a few games where he looked good, but then disappeared. The bottom line is, adding another kid to this lineup won’t do squat and in fact it’ll probably hurt them. Are the Habs officially last yet? Let the kids play in a winning environment.

I totally missed they sent Kapanen back, so it’s probably a centre issue.

You're completely changing your narrative and are extremely inconsistent. No need for me to dissect every point when you flat-out say that we shouldn't call up Roy because, in the last few years, two players (one of which is Roy himself) made an impact with a call-up. It makes no sense whatsoever and top prospects need to be given a chance or else we might as well not bother playing Demidov in the NHL until the team is outside the bottom 10 according to your logic.
