Once they reach dominate peak, usually develop better career at next level. Kempe be example. Just been redundant season for Roy.
Prospect Info: Joshua Roy Part 2
- Thread starter montreal
- Start date
How many prospects do you need to sacrifice to the hockey gods for them to grant MTL 1OA ?I say we calm down with the sacrifices.
Maybe we can trade a few mirrors and gun powder.

‘Unproven’, ‘without a high pedigree’ and ‘glaring flaws’ sounds like a player the fans should be excited about. I guess other players have overcome such limitations. All we can do is hope Roy is another one.

The Habs have a ton of potential middle six players, from Kidney to Roy to Heinemen to RHP to Ylonen to Farrell to Mesar. As fans, we're going to have a ton of fun debating the merits of each, and hopefully eventually watching Hughes trade four quarters for a dollar.
Skating, by all reports.
At some point, Roy had the reputation of someone who sat on his talent. I am impressed that he acknowledged it, addressed it, and actually backed it up - he has been phenomenal ever since. Shows a lot of caracter to me.
He is also surprisingly responsible defensively. Looking forward to seeing his upside.

In hockey, guys can overcome expectations and they can also fall short.
In this group, there may be a prospect that ends up being a first liner. If you trade a bunch for better players, you may miss out on the really good youngster.
My money is on Roy, as he has consistently shown an ability to raise his game to another level when challenged.

Yea but he missed quite some time due to Covid, in fact everyone kind of did, the extra year shouldn’t have hurt him.

I agree with you, and this there's no need for Hughes to do anything right now. Perhaps during the summer of 2024.
Imh Roy and Kidney are the only ones with a 1st liner IQ in that list. But they are also the weakest skaters.

Boo! BOOOO!
How has his skating been this season? I remember watching him at the World Juniors, and I wasn't impressed with that part of his game at all.
Along with Desjardins for the doctor.

Its been the same. Not a strength, but its good enough for it to not be a weakness.

Any CHL team with the best junior player is going to be stacked.
That said best junior player is himself, Roy.
The Pheonix is a pretty good team. Gatineau is maybe a bit deeper and has star power too in Dean, Gendron and Kidney. Especially Kidney lol, 78 points in 35 games since being traded to Gatineau. Insanity. Freaking arcade numbers.
The Q is comparatively very strong this year and has a lot of parity, Sherb, Gatineau, Quebec and Halifax are like 4 of the best 6 teams in the CHL. Seattle, Winnipeg and Ottawa are the other good ones in other leagues, they would rank around Sherb and GAT.
The Habs very well could end up with Roy/Kidney, Benson/Davidson and Mailloux/Beck/Rohrer in the memorial cup.

We will need to sacrifice a few posters for the 1st overall. I think we should start by offering
Adam Michaels to the hockey gods. This should put us in front me think.

Is that what happened to SBah last year?

I thiink he is average, though I havent been watching closely enough to disagree with folks who estimate it is sub par. Considering his contributions on both sides of the ice, i'd say this is counterbalanced by his vision and positionning; he is always in the right place at hte right time.

The more accurate comparison for him it's Tyler Toffoli, he is going to be a really good top 6 player at NHL level. He have shot, hands, passing ability, two-way ability and he have great work ethic right now. He is a better skater than his previous year... With a good development, he is going to be a good one. I'm high on him, like Beck and Heineman.
Toffoli must be the consensus comparison for him at this point. He reminds me so much of him. I'd take that from Roy any day.
