W Joshua Roy - Laval Rocket, AHL (2021, 150th, MTL)

[Kudo Shinichi]

I read the article, Boisvert and Audette knew he had talent, but they still prefered Trudeau, they didn't anticipate the quality prospect he's now.

Trudeau did well this year. 0.5 ppg as a dman in the ahl in his d+2 year is pretty good

He scored again today, 2 goals and an assist on the weekend. Looks like he could have a big season.

He's getting a call sooner than later to play in Montreal.

 

[danisonfire]

2nd AHL goal.

This kid is doing all the right things. I hope he keeps up his hard work.

1 goal and 2 assists tonight. The silky smooth skill and high end brain in evidence.

Currently leading the AHL with 7 points.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

2 beautiful goals in a span of less than 40 seconds, he has a hat trick tonight.

I'm quite impressive to say the least. 5g and 9pts in 4gp. Hope his play translates well to the NHL

and about 20 sog to boot

Should have gone Top 10 in 2021. It will be obvious when his career is done.

When is the last time a 5th rounder looked that good, that early?

Under rated in his draft year. Personally I think he ends up as the Habs most productive forward in 2-3 years.

Could be but I do think he tops as a 60 pts forward so I hope Habs would have 2-3 players more productive by that time.

I am actually not happy at how overprotective the team is with him. If Slafkovsky made the team at 18, Roy can certainly make it at 20.
Roy would literally be our 3rd best forward right now (after Suzuki and Caufield).

The knock was the skating, he surpassed that, improved it to a decent level but everything else considerably improved. When a guy like Bedard praises you as something else and hails your IQ, you know you're on the right path.

Gallagher. Mark Stone went 6th round and looked great immediately. It's not unprecedented but usually there's a reason. Gallagher and stones talents were known but skating was questioned. Roy likewise was seen as lazy because of a poor draft season. Obviously he's the opposite after three straight summers of addressing the weak points of his game and physical attributes.

I counted Roy out a few times because of things I saw and didn't like, then those things didn't exist the next time I saw him play. I am not going to count him out anymore, or maybe I should since he always does the opposite of what I expect.

Good looking pick so far

Yeah great examples, although Gally wasn’t as productive right away in the A and Stone was PPG in his second season.

 

[PavelBrendl]

Such a weird player to watch. It’s like he does everything in slow motion but nobody can out-think him. His instincts are just absolutely elite. Looks like he’s got ice in his veins too, cuz his poise is incredible. That was as on full display on one of his goals last night, where he was mid-deke and when the goalie opened up into lateral movement, he just casually flicked the puck into a hole.

 

[Wateredgarden]

People will be surprised how Roy is solid on his skate and very strong physically, yes he was overweight but i think he packed a lot of muscle on his draft year.

His game is very cerebral. You can tell he sees the ice and players around him at a high level.

 

[Bouboumaster]

He can see the ice like few others

Dare I say he reminds me of Kucherov before the 100 point seasons.

 

[Wateredgarden]

2 more pts tonight, still over 2ppg after 6 games.
