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

[Wackster]

Back then, he was considerably more talented than Sam Poulin. Poulin would produce a lot from protecting the puck with his big body and outskating the opponent. Parent would cut through everyone on the ice. He was an outstanding young player. Both were neck to neck until they got to the QMJHL. I don't know what happened to him in Halifax, but what we see this year is much closer to what we've seen from him in Midget AAA and earlier.

Absolutely. Also from what I saw PArent is willing to play the checking game which could help him translate his game on the next level. Hope nothing but the best for him

Went undrafted... he was seen as the next big thing in PeeWee was drafted top 5 in the Q and could not find his game. I could still manage a pro career but probably not a top 6 player in north america

Thank-You.

A goal and assist in Canada’s first pre-tournament game! Two very slick plays!

Hard not to like the pick and the player! Keep it up, Josh! LFG!!

Joshua Roy is a very good prospect.

How do you think he translates to the NHL? I know very little

too early to say just yet, if he keeps working hard, improves the skating, gets quicker, no telling how good he can be.

what you want in the 5th for sure. What’s the strength of the Q relative to the rest of the CHL this year?

I am not a big fan of the Q, I think the OHL and WHL are a clear step above imo.

1g, 2a today. 58 points in 31 games, it's pretty good.

On pace for 127 points in a full 68 game schedule. Crazy consistency too, he has points in all but 4 games this season. What a turn around for him, always happy to see prospects explode like this (more so when they're habs prospects!)

currently leading the Q in points with 64 in 35 games.

I admittedly haven't followed Roy much as a prospect - what explains his poor ratings (Dobber) and subsequent 5th round selection? Was he just a late bloomer?

Someone else will chime in, but from what I remember he is super talented (1st OA in the Q), had some issues with his coaches in Saint John, isn't the greatest skater, poor work ethic and conditioning issues

 

[Habstastic]

Roy said so himself that he didn’t take conditioning seriously and took matters into his hands to put himself back on track and take hockey seriously. And what a change it has been!

His consistency is something very impressive. He didn't have that before.

 

[Artorius Horus T]

He was one of the youngest players in the last year draft.
He is still 18 for about 6 months.

Almost 70 points already this season, in just 36 games.

yup

 

[KevSkillz4]

If he continue like that, he is a A type of prospect.

During exhibition he was definitely noticeable as well, which for a recently drafted 5th rounder is surprising. Management will likely have a tough decision to make come the fall as he can’t go to the A but may still not be ready for the show, could also see them keep him back to do the whole WJC thing
