Prospect Info: Joshua Roy Part 2

[26Mats]

I think he would make a great bumper on the PP

If we keep Slaf and Caufield on the half walls, it would be one of Suzuki or Roy in the bumper and the other in front of the net.

I like Slaf at the goalmouth because he's the best at puck recovery and have Roy on the wall because he's got vision and he's subtle

 

[Canadiens98]

I agree with a lot that's been said recently so I don't want to repeat anything but just wanted to add that I love that MSL put him with Monahan. I think that's the best C he could've paired him with to get him started in the league.

Then who goes with Suzuki and Caulfield?

Jordan Weal

Prior to the game where he scored, I was on here with some reservations about his skating and doubt about his play. I love that he scored and got an apple in the past couple of games. This kid for whatever reason, just gets it done. I doubted him prior the WJHC as well, and he lit that up.

It's amazing to see. Extremely high intelligence player who overcomes any shortfalls in his game, through that intelligence.

Cheering for this kid to be a top 6er for us.

Jordan Weal

The strength of the KHL. Jordan Weal has 60 points in 52 games. It should put everything in perspective...

 

[Leon Lucius Black]

I get Suzuki vibes with him in that he's a very smart player, who is very coachable and finds ways to improve his game each year.

Excited to see this kids develop over the next few years.

He's just so smart on the ice, I loved it when he said he wanted to work on his 2-way game to be more complete. I don't know who helped him work on his diligence and work ethic, but I'm sure glad it works right now. If he keeps this up, can see him as the perfect complementary top-6 player, pretty much like he was with Bedard last year at the WJC, just doing all the little things to help top talent because of how well he thinks and sees the ice.

Sherbrooke Phoenix coaching staff deserve a lot of the credits there, but Bouillon also kept a close eye on him.

Our new #2C ?

 

[MtlSars]

You mean the front of the net/net front presence?

That is what I was going for yes....

 

[26Mats]

That is what I was going for yes....

Wasn't monegan playing the front of the net? I hear everyone saying how good he was in the bumper, but I only remember seeing him in front of the net.

 

[rik schau]

Lol, wellp, all I can really say to this is

Well well gosh darn it all if that didn't resolve it all. lol
Time I suggest to have a well deserved suitable cocktail comprised of Canadian Crown Royal whiskey and a splash Coca-Cola, better known globally as "Douchebag'', or perhaps prefer a cocktail comprised of JD,V8 and a splash of Tabasco sauce, AKA a Bloody Douchebag?, cheers! lol

 

[Catanddogguitarrr]

Well, it would be the least they could do since how bad the drafting departement has been under Timmins.

The Swan Song of Timmins Era !
The swan song (Ancient Greek: κύκνειον ᾆσμα; Latin: carmen cygni) is a metaphorical phrase for a final gesture, effort, or performance given just before death or retirement. The phrase refers to an ancient belief that swans sing a beautiful song just before their death since they have been ...

Roy called up, guess the RHP.injury is serious

 

[BozoTheClown]

Too bad this guy doesn’t have the work ethic and the drive to be the better.

I really had high hopes for him but his lack of dynamism is brutal. I know it's not his game, he's a cerebral player and that's fine. However, to succeed in the NHL you need to be able to adapt and play different roles and in various situations. He's too unidimensional, unfortunately, and not productive enough to justify putting him in a pure offensive role like Laine.

He has clearly been passed up by several prospects.
I would rather have Davidson over Roy for example

He does produce in the AHL with 67 points in 88 games, with what is apparent a lack of effort, which means he has the talent. If only Roy had the half the work ethic of Gallagher, he would have been in the NHL this year at least playing regularly with PP time.

Laine has the size, the shot and the proven record to play on the top 6. Will Roy ever get there? Can most people change who they are at the core?

 

[Redux91]

Demidov drafted
Newhook trade
Heineman securing a bottom 6 role

Have pretty much sealed this guys fate with the Canadiens sadly for him

Hell they could draft a winger with size at #17 and it could possibly already trump Roy at this point..
