Brimming with potential? He was a 5th round pick.I'd be surprised if they moved him. Young player brimming with potential. And he's also French.
It'd be nice to have a French scoring player here, it's been a while... and David Desharnais doesn't count.
And Hustson was a 2nd rounder...
So was Hyman and Kaprizov, whats your point? He has lots of potential even if its more of a long shot he can reach his ceiling and maintain it
The reality is that some guys won't make it. We know this. There are always guys who either get hurt or don't live up to expectations or whatever... that's just the nature of prospects. But going down when you aren't playing well has happened forever. It's not the end of the journey. Paccioretty went up and down and came back much stronger. This is just the normal course of development.

It has... And that's a shame.
I thought he might be in the mix. If he's in the top six, he can be a productive player but he's not going to lead a 3rd line anywhere...
I think if he's in the top six, he's probably good for around 40 points.
Hyman in particular was also known by his coaches as being the hardest working player on & off the ice and most dedicated to his profession…
He's a vet and he's not getting cut. They'll give him every opportunity and unfortunately, Roy didn't give them a reason to put him in the top six instead.
That's fine. But I thought he had the potential to be among the best rookies this season. Michkov or Celebrini? No.
Not that good.
Is it?

It's more about the consistency of the said dedication.
Both have skating limitations. In today's NHL, that is a major hurdle to overcome. If these limitations are not overcome both these players will not be in the organization in two years.
Sure but I was replying to some kind of snake boisvert disciple who said he has no potential because he was a 5th rounder.
I'm pointing this comment from you but not targetting you in particular. It's just that I see very often this argument here and while I can see the idea behind it, I don't think it applies to Roy. Like many observed, he didn't looked involved or deeply motivated. It is not simply the lack of production, it was his attitude. The team around him does not have many impact on that.
I’m the farthest you can be from a disciple of his but . . . how many 5th round picks make the NHL, let alone are “brimming with potential?” The correct answer is very, very few. The numbers don’t don’t lie.
