For #1, he broke fingers at the Habs camp slamming on the board during a pre-season game which made him miss 8-10 weeks (he did his rehab in Sweden). If that haven't happened, he would have stayed in NA I think.

Not alike as he's bigger, faster, stronger, more physical. He will take the body as he's not going to be running around hitting people but contact seems a big part of his game.
The offense is the question, how good is it, as this kid has been a lock to be an NHLer just a question of how good the offense is as he can play on any line if the offense translates. So far so good but short sample size and all.
He may not be a pretty skate, but he's a fast skater.

If he is, I haven't seen him use it properly yet. Could be a small sample size thing.

Heineman, RHP and Roy all look like they should be regulars for us next year.

That's a bold prediction on Roy.
We'll see how many spots Hughes can open up this summer. But even if Roy is ready, a full year in Laval, or at least until there are injuries, wouldn't be bad for him. Probably would be good actually. Same with Heineman. RHP should definitely be in the NHL.

I’d be in no hurry to add more prospects the the big club. Let them play in Laval first and develop their game before bringing them up. No hurry to rush them now.

Maybe not right out of camp, but all three will be regulars and part of the “core” by the end of next year

If we can get Monahan back healthy, or get Dubois, we should be a pretty good bubble team. With all the good wingers we have, we really need a 3c that's better offensively than Dvo.

Strange to read stuff like that when HuGo kept an 18 yo that was clearly not ready. In the case of Roy, he will have to force their hand, that's for sure. Nothing is free for a #150 overall.
I'm really high on Roy too, but we need to tamper expectation for next year. Lots of fans had Farrell pencil as a sure shot for roster spot next season and we see he needs some seasoning. Maybe a year in the A for Roy, we will see at camp.

Dvo has obviously been a disappointment with us, but I do think he’s a good 3C when healthy. We could trade him for pennies but I’d rather just let him play out his deal and hopefully he gets back to the player that was a proven quality middle 6 center man. He can be a vet to play with the youngsters (like Heineman), or at worst he can play on a line of disappointments with Gallagher and Armia/Hoffman lol
He has never been a proven anything. He has the potential to be a good 3c but has never really lived up to that.

RHP Is guaranteed, he's probably our 3rd best goal scorer. Roy and Heineman should get at least a full season in Laval with the possibility of playing some call up games.

If we get a 3c and Dvo isn't in the deal, I would be very happy to see what he can do on the wing. He has a good shot, has good hands around the net, can make plays with his linemates, is good along the wall, is good defensively, etc... Sounds like a really good middle six winger to me. And, he can play C if there are a rash of injuries.
I think he could both be really useful to us and up his trade value on the wing.

Nothing is guaranteed. The pitlick situation was similar last year then his production obviously came back to normal and would’ve stayed in Laval if not for the injuries.

He was listed at 6’2” at rookie camp. Looks big out there. Thick, solid and tight for sure.

Unlike Pitlick, RHP has the skillset to play in any lines with any players. Even if his production goes down, he can still be a solid bottom 6 player.
When we acquired him, it was said he was 6'2, always thought he was 6'2, then he came back to NA and for some reason hockeydb had him at 6' all along. Looks big and fast out there. Shades of Patch.

@Habs tends to skip over posts about Rudy-types. Either that, or he finds choice words to disparage them.
As a result, I’ve had to inflate heights to at least get him to read a post now and again.
