Recalled/Assigned: Joshua Roy recalled from the Laval Rocket (Sent down 2024-12-02)

[Sterling Archer]

Happy for Roy and hope he plays like he's here to stay. Top 6 could really use him. Reunite top line and need to develop chemistry on the 2nd. As the 2nd line goes, so do the Habs.

Cole Suzuki Slaf
Roy Dach Gallagher
Newhook Evans Anderson
Heineman Dvo Armia

Once PL is back:

Cole Suzuki Slaf
Laine Dach Gallagher
Newhook Evans Roy
Heineman Dvo Anderson
Armia

Pezzetta is 26 he's not a kid anymore. Honestly he's a nothing burger player. He's not that physical. He's not that good of a fighter. If it's a role we want to fill we should trade for one.

Love Pezz but agree with all of those and would add he’s lucky to be getting an NHL paycheck, doubt he sticks around in the NHL once he is gone from here.

 

[Trabdy2]

I'm trying to figure how he gets into the lineup. Armia or Heineman getting scratched? or Dach?

 

[red devil]

Is Laine back???

 

[LaP]

I'm trying to figure how he gets into the lineup. Armia or Heineman getting scratched? or Dach?

Certainly not Heineman. He's nto even top 5 in the list of players who deserve to watch the game from the press box.

 

[Draft]

The handling of Pezzetta is a head scratcher, show the kid some respect and allow him to look for employment elsewhere. Ridiculous

Personally, I think his extended stay in MTL was a sign of appreciation and respect. Could/should have been on waivers ages ago.

Do you think Roy’s earned his spot with his performance in Laval?

Armia can disappear.

 

[BLONG7]

Good maybe now we can see some accountability with the slackers who don't even have the heart to put in a decent effort.

This should resonate through the entire team......they all need to be looking over their shoulders..............add in a Laine and we should have some better jump as a group.

Maybe PL will push Dach harder...

 

[Sterling Archer]

Maybe PL will push Dach harder...

Dach will have someone who can be a consistent scoring threat to pass to for the first time in his career.

It should resonate but I am not sure it will

He haven't really shown more compete down in Laval.

It's not 2015. Gallagher is a bottom 6 forward.

 

[Tyson]

He haven't really shown more compete down in Laval.

I agree and to be honest I am surprised he got the call. He gets his chances in the O zone but doesn't play hard enough in all 3 zones. Beck deserves the call up, not Roy.

 

[Habby4Life]

Another lazy soft player.

 

[Tyson]

Another lazy soft player.

That's the culture they are trying to build don't you know...

 

[Runner77]

I hope his agent doesn't forget to tell him he got called up

Plot twist: Roy’s agent knows nothing about the call up and tells Roy to make an appearance at a sports card store, instead.

You stole my thunder.

 

[Treb]

Looks like he will play with Heineman and Evans. Forwards line went into the blender.

13 Caufield	14 Suzuki	15 Newhook
51 Heineman	71 Evans	89 Roy
17 Anderson	28 Dvorak	11 Gallagher
20 Slafkovsky	77 Dach	40 Armia

D pairs stay the same, with Matheson on treatment day.

 

[GordonGraham]

So he's only back for a few days cause Laine and RHP are coming back for the weekend games

 

[Adam Michaels]

What's the point of this move?

Team is at 22 players with two supposed to come back soon (RHP and Laine), Roy makes it 23.

It will be interesting to see what they do. They may eventually either waive RHP to stay in Laval or Pez with the intention to send him down.

Now Dach is back at center at practice. IF they keep him there, that makes Condotta the player to send down. Because they got Suzuki, Dach, Evans & Dvorak. Condotta doesn't deserve to be sent down. But he's the easy one to remove from the line-up. And he's basically that for the Habs. Call up when needed and be sent down when not.

Pezz has been sitting in the stand for way too long, but at this point he's the 16th forward, not sure why he haven't been waived yet.

It's possible they don't want to waive Pez because they feel he will be claimed. And they may prefer to trade him in a package in order to get something in return, however little. For me, if he's claimed, it's no loss because at this point, he's practically not part of the line-up anyways.

 

[Habs]

I'm trying to figure how he gets into the lineup. Armia or Heineman getting scratched? or Dach?

Probably Heienman because he scored, and MSL is a putz. Gotta keep Armia and Dvoark in at all costs and sit Pez tpp

 

[Goalfield13]

Pretty sad that they are separating Evans and Gallagher to spread the offense lol. I was hoping for a Roy-Evans-Gally line, but that would just make our bottom 6 look even worse.

 

[Guy Larose]

32 thoughts.

Columbus is looking for a player who hasn't popped yet(I guess a player who has potential to be more than what they are/hasn't shown what they are)

Said he doesn't see it with Edmonton, but thinks teams like Nashville, Minnesota, Phillt and others who have a young player they could part with for Jiricek

Showcase for a trade?

They're not "separating" as in the present tense. They've already been separated. The moment MSL put Dach on the wing of the first line, Evans was put at 2C between Caufield and Newhook. And Gallagher has been with Dvorak and Anderson.

But I know what you're talking about. Because when it was Anderson - Evans - Gallagher, they were the hardest working line and looked good together.

Would not be surprised if they waive RHP.
