Prospect Info: Joshua Roy Part 2

[Redux91]

He played 2 games and was invisible,Heinemen was visible.

As ridiculous as this statement is,
I can't believe I have to point out that 1 is 30 games into his Pro career and is 20 yrs old.
And the other is 22 yrs old playing in his 4th year of Pro hockey.

hilariously, the only time i've noticed Heineman was him getting physically bullied by the Flyers.

So?

Poehling was far more visible in just his first game than Suzuki and Caufield were in their first several nhl games.

[Kennerback]

Cool as a cucumber.

 

[Matthew McConaughay]

Wawa looks a lot more comfortable in his third game.

 

[McGuires Corndog]

The first one is always special, but this was a nice goal and a testament to how he makes an impact. He makes intelligent decisions and finds open ice, quick pass to Monahan and then slipping back to stay open as Nemec thought he was going to crash the net.

 

[Fatbiggie]

It’s understable that he looks better on the road due to family, friends & fans at home.

Now he can just concentrate on playing his game.

 

[Sam de Mtl]

Beautiful game by Josh. I'm sure he will feel more comfortable now with the first point out of the way.

He is probably going back to Laval soonish, but he will have left a good impression.

 

[DramaticGloveSave]

If he keeps playing like that he’s not going anywhere…

 

[Kennerback]

It’s now official Roy was indeed highway robbery in the 5th round. He’ll have a career as an NHL player.

 

[Andrei79]

What a great game. Looked like a first round talent.

 

[Kennerback]

What a great game. Looked like a first round talent.

If he was born a couple of weeks later he would have been a first round talent.

 

[Paddy17]

He still needs to get stronger and improve his speed (not just skating, but reaction and decision-making), but you can see IQ oozing out of him and the puck just seems glued on his stick when he's stickhandling.

 

[AlexGretzchenvid]

I change my comparison for him from Corey Perry to Sean Monahan. High IQ, good skating, composure, hands.

 

[Team_Spirit]

 

[EveryDay]

He's going to play in our top9 at the start of next season.

 

[The Great Weal]

Burrows needs to get bitch slapped hard for playing Gallagher over Roy on the PP. It's absolutely outrageous. I love how Roy isn't afraid to shoot the puck.

 

[jrom]

really liking that Roy - Monahan - Armia line, they fit well together

I hope they keep Monahan & Roy together, great veteran to have as a linemate for a rookie

 

[CAUFIELD]

The way Roy handles the puck remind me Thomas Vanek . Glued

Monahan and Roy have a very high IQ and it showed tonight. Armia isn't exactly dumb either and his size is starting to make room for the other 2. Monahan was excellent tonight. And I'll make a bold prediction and say Roy is here to stay. Played decent defensively too, and that may be the clincher for staying. Smart player. Knows how to wait in the weeds and be that trailer no one notices until it's too late. He was doing this a lot tonight and the last game. It'll pay dividends regularly if teammates start learning his game.

 

[Mrb1p]

Is this where I start blasting?

Wheres Cedric Guindon when you need him

 

[rickthegoon]

I don’t envision Roy to ever carry a line on his shoulders, but I’m totally fine with that. The kid has elite hockey IQ and will become a very productive forward in a couple of years when he’ll be playing with talented forwards.

You’ve heard of a thing called contracts right?

Armia plays well lately. He's so strong along the board. I like that Roy see and learns this aspect. He seemed a lot better along the boards in this game.

If Armia always played like that i'd say this looks like a hell of a 3rd line for a competing team.

What we saw tonight is what we hoped to see from Joshua. I'm pleased with the progression. He's gonna be good... cool.
