Beck cédé, Roy rappelé du Rocket de Laval | Canadiens de Montréal

Le mouvement de personnel survient alors que l’équipe est à Vancouver

8 am this morning Owen Beck was assigned to Laval & Joshua Roy was recalled. Newhook moves to center then.

I like this move although Beck showed some flashes.

Beck showed flashes of stuff that Just. Wins. Cups.

Who's playing Center now? Newhook?

 

[OldCraig71]

Who is Roy replacing?

Who is Roy replacing?

I assume Roy will be given a shot w Newhook & Laine.

MSL seems to not like messing w his functioning lines which would be all but the 2nd line

This is Roy’s big chance to cement a role on this Habs team … as one of my former bosses told me “don’t f*ck it up”

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Who's playing Center now? Newhook?

Yeah, my guess is Newhook moves to center.

Maybe they just plug Roy in with Laine & Newhook?

Laine - Newhook - Roy

I guess we'll find out. Beck played ok. He was strong defensively, hit & definitely has NHL speed.

I think he should start 4th line RW next year, though.

Heineman - Evans - Beck
Anderson - Dach - Newhook
Laine - XXXXX - Demidov
Caufield - Suzuki - Slafkovsky

If we keep Dach ....

Newhook and Roy had chemistry last season. Not a bad option for now.

 

[SwiftyHab]

Roy thought he had an NHL gig in the bag at the start of the season then got sent down to the AHL when he wasn't cutting it defensively. He's improved his d game down there but more importantly i hope he's learned not to take his position for granted.

Plus allows us to truly evaluate newhook at C once and for all

What I saw from Roy was a lack of hustle without the puck, like a lack of desire to try to get it back. He must show more than he did earlier this year if he wants an NHL career.

It gives Roy another chance to show his stuff as well.

Newhook at C lol gg's

I think Newhook took most of the draws for the Newhook/Beck/Anderson line on Saturday, and was rarely F1 in the offensive zone. So he pretty much already was playing center.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Beck will be back.

I guess Roy is finally healthy. Thrilled that they're giving him another chance.

Yes, Beck started at center but was really struggling, so they switched before 2nd period. Beck actually played well in Calgary once moved to wing. His speed is an asset as is his forechecking /hitting. He doesn't look ready to play center at NHL level, but he can play wing on 4th line.

Heineman, Evans & Beck would be a fast, tough line to play against.

 

[expy]

This is a tank move tbh.

 

[Habs13]

What a pointless move. Should have given Beck the chance to learn the roll instead of sending him to Laval.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

He worked harder in the AHL than at times later in the season last year, but still doesn't give the effort you'd like.

Hopefully he knows this is the NHL and he has to give a f***.

If not you're just showing the league he's a nothing prospect that will just be good in the A like Hudon, except Hudon gave an effort.

How? Beck was playing in the wrong chair.

It's not like Beck has nothing left to learn in the AHL or is burning the league

 

[vokiel]

Pointless ridiculous move, done because they didn't reinforce for the stretch.

No complaints about Newhook playing center, that's a tank move for sure.

True, but the Dvorak spot is pretty much his for next season so let him learn it. Roy is a floater - I don't care to see him play for the Habs.

Why don't we shove Dvorak in the press box with Pezzetta and play Beck and Roy?

 

[habsfan891]

Newhook will get lit the f*** up at center what a disaster good bye whatever miniscule playoff chance we had

I know! Lets try that thing that keeps failing again! Newhook at center and Roy in the NHL... I don't get it.
