Super sucks. He was about to get the call up and then this happens. I was really looking forward to seeing him develop this year.

That's alright though, failure/success... it doesn't matter. What matters is that we use this year as an evaluation for where we're at and where we're going. Newhook for example, has half a year to improve the results. If not, I think he might be toast. He SHOULD have more points than he does but at some point you have to be able to finish your chances.

As for Roy... still a great prospect. Maybe they put him on the 3rd with Evans/Heineman for next year. That might work. I hate the idea of trading him away.

Not a bad call. His chances are slim.
He has to take this offseason incredibly seriously. If not he’s goners. Could very well be gone before that. But we have the luxury of patience unless he can be part of a bigger deal

He should have taken last off season incredibly seriously, a place was his for the taking.

Indeed, Roy got a legitimate chance at the start of the year, the spot was the earned by Heinemen, but now Beck is getting a chance.

There will probably be injuries again next year, but Roy will be competing with the likes of Mesar, Beck, Davidson, and other players I don't know about.

Relative to the start of the year, Demidov and Laine will have pushed everybody down one spot. In life, you have to take your opportunities where you can.

It's Emil Heineman 'panning out' at the moment that is basically sealing Roy's fate unfortunately for him

There are only so many chairs
And those 4th line chairs are going to guys like maybe Davidson, Tuch, Xhekaj
And because of Demidov, Newhook becomes a 3rd liner for the last couple years of that contract (pending a trade)

In a blink, Roy , as it stands in this very moment, is a Trade asset
(His future with us now hinges on injuries, and injuries to particular people)

I agree. Roy really did look good before he turned pro. So far, it's been meh but he's been on a decent development path. I think some Habs fans need to go back and check out Pacioretty's development path and what age he made the NHL full time. Not every one of our prospects will shine right away like Caufield, Hutson and probably Demidov.

Roy will be fine but it will take time. These B+ types are not sure shot NHL players. They are young pieces with some upside and most of them don't show it until the age 23+ years. Our pool is deep so let them battle it out in the AHL. Competition and a deep team in Laval is a good thing.

Bad breaks times two this year. We got off to a horrible start. Now he's got an injuy... super sucks. I really wanted to see him here this year. I don't disagree with them sending him down, this wasn't the environment for him given how bad we were. But now? The timing's perfect. And of course he's now out 4 to 6 weeks.

In my opinion, Joshua Roy will still have to play in the AHL next year but after that, he has the potential to play top 6....but he will have to invest seriously. He must play with talented top 6 players. I don't see him playing on a third or fourth line...unless there are talented players

WaWa to save our season!
Joshua needs to make sure he's not a defensive liability going forward.
I know the Habs hope to gain some offense with this move but will the D structure hold up?
I wonder who is supposed to forecheck on this line?
I guess it's easier to make this move than actually trying to fix the lines which aren't performing.
Can't wait.
 
#1 stop it with the wawa its the worst

#2 if he can use his passing to get goals out of Laine he'll never leave the lineup. That's his role for this callup IMO

#3 I'm also looking forward to having him on the PP.

He better use this opportunity, to prove himself, there might not be another.

Roy is a D+5 next year.

He may have good vision, but if he doesn't train sufficiently hard to put on strength and gain speed and acceleration next season, he's not making the NHL.

I'm seeing he and Laine starting to look for each other. But Roy isn't explosive enough to take advantage.

He's got this summer, next year, and the following summer to train and get better.
