Prospect Info: Joshua Roy Part 2

[DAChampion]

I still believe in him. Rough stretch but he bounced back before.

Roy's at the end of his D+4. By now he should be dominating the AHL given his potential as demonstrates for example at the start of his AHL career.

I suspect that he will bounce back but he won't sustain it -- like before.

His problem is between his ears as he does not seem to be buying in to the messaging from Montreal about playing with more pace and moving his feet. He will never be a strong skater and he has the IQ to overcome that but you really have to consider that he just may not have the internal drive to play in the NHL.

This is the reason that he originally fell in the draft and even though he did eventually turn it around, perhaps the challenge at the next level is just too much work and beyond the scope of commitment that he can consistently reach/maintain. He just looks too comfortable in the AHL and that is very disappointing considering the developmental curve that he had previously established.

In my opinion he has been passed up by Beck, Kapanen, Xhekaj, Davidson, Demidov. He will get qualified but he is not NHL quality. He falls in the Dumont, Hudon, ABB category.

One problem he’s facing is that we have one of the deepest group of prospects in the league. I think he’s NHL quality but I don’t know if he has a place here anymore.

There are some older teams out there that could probably use an injection of youth. We should look at dealing him. I’d hate to see him just waste away in the AHL.

Without a doubt but it's one less position that he can take. He has been passed up by several prospects and more on the way. He didn't seize his opportunity.
