Prospect Info: Joshua Roy Part 2

[salbutera]

Rocket just lost back 2 back, 1 assist for Roy. Did he play well?

Teams are starting to have game tapes and can adjust to shut him down it's gonna be interesting to see how he will react.

That’s why it’s important to see how the body of work looks like after 1/4 of the season and again at 1/3 and potentially 1st half before call up to Habs - but nothing stops them HuGo from giving him 1GP after 1/4 or 1/3 mark if he’s performing well in Laval…. dangle the carrot

Well he hasn’t recorded a point in last two games so probably when he’s not a bust anymore

[A1LeafNation]

I'm a contender, can't have any NAs on my roster, but willing to give him a shot if he's called up.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

2nd in the scoring race with two games in hand.

 

[DAChampion]

Part of development is working through slumps.

He reminds me of Suzuki with how he sees the ice.
How much better of a skater is Nick?

Hopefully next October

"When are they calling him up lol"

Hopefully, when he's ready to have an impact. March would be really sweet, but next year, after a strong training camp could well be the right time.

Yes, next October!

 

[Tyson]

Yes, next October!

Yep no rush. He is actually savoring his time in Laval playing top 6 minutes

 

[JeffreyLFC]

Most likely a call up after trade deadline when we trade away some first team forwards.

He's really playing well on both sides of the ice. I think he will be a great fit with Suzuki / Caufield due to his hockey sense. But no rush.

With Monahan likely flogged at the deadline, Roy should be called up to Montreal,IMO

I wouldn't even mind if he spends all year next year in Laval to continue to get more and more explosive.

Next year, when we have Suzuki, Dach, Monahan down the middle, let Dvo play with Suzuki and Caufield to get his trade value up.

Caufield Suzuki Dvo
Newhook Dach Slaf
RHP Monahan Anderson
Gallagher Evans Ylonen/Pez/Heineman

If Roy continues to tear up the AHL, you can't leave him down there next season IMO.

 

[Estimated_Prophet]

Agreed, it would be criminal mismanagement to leave him there without allowing him an opportunity to take the next step. There is no way he stays down this season if he continues to impress let alone next season.

 

[BLONG7]

As long he keeps working hard, he is pretty much a lock next season.
Hopefully he gets some time up with the club, in March as others have stated.
Nice to see us take our time on this kid....

 

[Jaynki]

NHL talent dont sleep in the AHL.

I think he has the call up sooner than later. Dont think it would be a problem to waive or bench someone like Pearson to make room for Roy.

Subban and Pacioretty both played a full season in the AHL

And no, the team isn't going to bench Pearson.

When Subban was recalled, he was our best dman in the playoff.

He never looked back and was a stud D for the rest of his career.

Pacioretty had brief stint in the AHL.

Lets hope Roy keeps it up and have a similar showing when he is called up. If Roy can have a similar 14 goals and 10 assist in 37 games when called up we should be very excited.

NHL talent dont sleep long, uncovered in the AHL. Lets hope he is one.

You need to give up your dream of Dvo playing on the top line lol. He's a #3 C, that's it, that's all.
