Roy was fat and out of shape. He was barely able to skate for more than 20secs. It's a red flag when you see a young player who doesn't put enough effort in the "easiest part". I think he lost 25lbs since last year

He really is exactly the type of young winger the Habs need. Think he would be an absolutely perfect compliment on the RW with Suzuki and Caufield. That would be so much fun to watch. And think their styles, positives and deficiencies, would balance out pretty well all combined.
Caufield plays both even though he's largely listed as a RW and is a right shot. But he plays on the left often. Scores a lot of his goals from the left side, cutting across center ice. And I'm pretty sure he was slotted in on the left the last game of the season. Or one of the last games of the season that I caught.
And Roy similarly plays both. I guess he might be on the left a decent amount. But being a left shot, he comes in on the right a decent amount too. Plus, he's actually listed as a RW on most sites.
So I don't think it really matters. But neither of them seem to just be "RW" or just "LW". Either works.

Both can play either wing, but not sure I would put them on the same line.

Roy could play with Wright, sounds good to me.

QMJHL 2019 1st OA paired with OHL 2019 1st OA, why not. Only need to hope for Savoie to drop a loooot and us to move up to complete the CHL 2019 1st OA trio

It's really lucky for them they were so bad this year haha. They would have ended up with no pick if they finished 11th worst or better. Heck, Coyotes might not be making that pick until like 2024. Think Habs have at least one more clunker of a season in them. At least now they'll be able to move Dvorak to the 3rd line, or to the wing on the 2nd line or something. Really not sure where he'd be better off. Guess it will come down to a battle between he and Evans for that 3c role. If Wright is ready to slide into that 2c role right away that is.
But yea, Savoie I would think almost definite to go in the top 10 picks somewhere. Probably like 6th or 7th even.

This guy is playing like the Q's 1st overall pick he was. Incredible. Close to 2.0 PPG in the regular and follows it up with even better playoffs so far (12 pts in 4 games).
Guy is also a couple of days away from being 2022 draft eligible so he doesn't turn 19 until a couple more months.

I've seen him all over the board when people ask where he'd go in this years draft, everyone seems to agree on 1st round but someone above said top 10, many say mid to late 1st.
Anyone who consistently watches him have an opinion too?

Kid always had serious potential, hence the QMJHL draft position. His NHL draft position hardly matters given how he leaned down over the summer and is now performing at a level you would be excited about if it was coming from a top-5 pick.
Roy-Wright, Suzuki-Caufield could be an outstanding forward core for Montreal to build around.

I live in Sherbrooke and I went to game 1. Roy is just on another level hockey IQ wise.
He had an assist that was just breathtaking to anyone who understands the game.
Someone shoots the puck, it comes straight to him and, instead of shooting it, he makes a cross-ice pass to a teammate he buries it in an empty net.
Might not seem that special the way I describe it, but that speed at which it happened is what makes it great. He processes the game at a very high level.
Always at the right spot, makes the right decisions, creates a lot for others. He is a very good playmaking winger.
I do not know if he has the raw skills for the NHL, but he certainly has the hockey IQ. He won't wow you with his skills, but the little things are all there.
I have seen him live 4-5 times this year and I was always impressed by his smarts AND his clutchness.
I would not be too nervous about the raw skills. He's not a guy that actively challenges defenders but he can protect the puck and has good hands in tight spaces that allow him to make plays under pressure. His shot is great.
The biggest worry for me is his pace of play, as well as how combative he is without the puck. That said, he has strong upside.

To me, that's actually a positive at times.
One game I saw earlier this year (I think I talked about it on this thread): He entered the zone with the puck, he was in a one-on-one situation. Instead of attacking the D, he stopped, waited for a teammate to come, made a pass and got open, he got the puck back and took a good shot. It did not result in a goal, but it resulted in a good scoring chance. By doing that, he had more chance to create a chance than by trying to beat the D one-on-one.
Oh I agree 100%, not many players can beat defenders 1 vs 1 in the NHL anyway, that's not a really translatable skill. Would much rather have an intelligent player who can manage the puck well.

I’ve said it before that he reminds me of Ryan Strome. Put him with some guys that can score, and he’ll put up a lot of points. The good thing for the Habs is that Wright and Suzuki are both very good defensively. Keeping him off Caufield’s line may be needed though because neither play good defense.

Roy's play without the puck is not impressive, wich means he's not gonna be a Toews or a Bergeron. But there is a lot of nhl players that are not impressive without the puck that I would take on my team.
Also the guy drives the net and takes hits to make a play, he's already playing an nhl game.

IMO he would likely go between 8-15. This is assuming you could just change current Roy to be younger without losing any ability. He's clearly a better player currently than recent 1st rounders from last year. The only reason he would even be that low is worries about his game and pace translating to the NHL. Personally I think he'll be a Toffoli type player with better playmaking.
