Sorry I didn’t see the edit.

Thats not saying he’s a lock. It’s arguing that Toy is good enough for the second line.

i argued hard that he SHOULD be used there. I argued that he was good enough to put there. I said he’d be good for forty points. That was the argument. It’s not the same thing as saying he was a lock for the role. Those are two separate things. One is theoretical the other is what actually happens in terms of usage.

Nothing has changed in my opinion btw. I still think he’d be a solid 40 point guy if we used him there. That doesn’t mean he’ll get the role.

Those are 2nd line stats on this team! Get him up here!

I watched both games and he was invisible.

you sir are cruel,

Move Armia down, and bring up Hein to the second line.

You’re talking about Reinbacher again right? Or was it Bo Callahan?

ABB really complimented his game tonight. That's why getting solid AHL vets is so vital.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

At least he’s saying the right things.

Demoted to Laval, Joshua Roy vows to make it back to the Canadiens

Young winger, a fifth-round draft pick in 2021, admits he underachieved at training camp and needs to develop more consistency in his game.

Yes, it was essential and a failure last year.

Looks like a 3 point night (2 goals) for Roy. Hopefully that helps him on his journey back.

Looking at our second line, he should be called up soon enough… we badly lack someone who can bury pucks. Not sure if it’s him but that’s the best bet we have.

Just put Heineman where Armia is. It's criminal on Marty's end he's watching that line and not switching people off of it. Patience with the top line makes sense. This 2nd line had no hope from the start and Dach needs some help to get going, he can't carry Armia right now.

I don't know who looks the worst on that 2nd line right now, but a change is absolutely needed and I'd probably switch out Armia for Roy or Heineman at this point.

Worth a try indeed.

I fear that at this point even a true franchise talent would have difficulty doing so, nevermind Kirby Dach.

But yeah, that's completely, 100% MSL's fault. That line hasn't meshed well at all in every game we've played so far yet he keeps it steady despite NUMEROUS modifications of pairings on D.

Armia is a "slow-and-steady" pure-grind type of player, who works best with other grinders on a fourth-line getting pucks deep, retrieving them, and trying to sustain offensive pressure off of turnovers.

To put him on a second line is to grossly miscast him.

A guy like Heineman, although not ideal himself on a second-line, would bring similar-ish size to Armia while also not clashing as much as Armia does on style of play since Heineman skates WAYYY faster and would better be able to keep up with Dach/Newhook.

I get that MSL is trying to keep Dach/Newhook acclimated to playing with a slower, bigger forward so the transition is more seamless when Laine eventually comes back. But there are limits to that too, and he should not jeopardize his team's success out of personal wishes.

Have you seen the article from DLC about Josh Roy signature event?

Im telling you, he needs a lot of maturing.
