Prospect Info: WJC 2022 part 2: Picking Back Up In August

[Adam Michaels]

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but why is it that Slaf is not playing in these world juniors?

Not a dumb question.

But Slaf will prepare for rookie and main camps.

Same with Mesar.

Habs had asked Mesar not to participate, but ultimately left the decision up to Mesar.

And that's not just Habs. A lot of prospects opted not to participate.

The fact the tournament is close to training camps, a lot of players preferred to take this time to prepare for camps.

They opted out for the upcoming season
No idea why Mesar did

Same reason for Mesar.

 

[Vachon23]

I like Garand, really calm and always well positioned

 

[montreal]

 

[Team_Spirit]

Dvorsky is too slow to be a top 5 pick imo

Yikes 7-1 no point watching this anymore

 

[Adam Michaels]

Sweet finish by McTavish.

_______________

Something to keep an eye on. Either it was one shift or maybe Cameron making a few changes.

 

[lillypad33]

So... What's up with Roy? He looks useless out there. Not that he can't skate quick... More like he's choosing to float out there. Like every second!

 

[Adam Michaels]

Sweet pass by Roy to set up McTavish for the hat trick.

Unselfish play.

 

[Whitesnake]

Doesn't matter who plays with McTavish and Bedard..lol

I love how Roy told McTavish...SHOOT! lol

Slaf is legit, Mesar I can't see even coming close to making it this year unless he's hoping to be assigned to the A

I could probably play with them and not look that full !

For one, he will prepare to go to camp to make the Habs.

But also, even if he ends up playing in Laval. He still needs to prepare for rookie camp, main camp, and even in Laval, their season starts at the same time as Montreal's.

Mesar’s hoping to be assigned to the A. Habs is not in the cards

 

[Adam Michaels]

He will still go to camp to try and crack the Habs.

But even if he ends up in Laval, he still prefers to prepare for camps and get ready for the season.

In fact, even if he heads to Kitchener, he will still take part in rookie and Habs camp and then get ready for the seasons.

[Whitesnake]

Well that's good too! The Q line!

 

[Adam Michaels]

Roy hits the post

And Mike Johnson with a good analysis.

He mentioned that it was the first time we saw Roy get to the slot and shoot. He doesn't get to do that with Bedard and McTavish because on that line, those two do that and Roy tries to stay out of their way.

 

[Whitesnake]

Keep that. Roy with Dufour and Desnoyers. That could work.

Yep. That line is staying. Othmann-Bedard-McTavish.

Have Kidney back in. And sit Foerster.

 

[lillypad33]

So after I pick on Roy he seems to wake up. Wins a puck battle, gets a slot chance and gets back on defense.

 

[Whitesnake]

Roy had his share of points...but seemed intimidated somehow. But with Dufour you already see he's a totally different player!

 

[peate]

We want 10, we want 10......

 

[Matthew McConaughay]

The McTavish show.

 

[HuGort]

Riley Kidney is a solid prospect for Habs. When I watch him, I really think he have really good floor.... he got all tools to become a solid 3rd line player, even more. He is very smart, great hockey IQ, his skating is better than past years. He don't scare of contact, he is a good two-way player. I really like his passing ability and his hands.

Joshua Roy and Riley Kidney are two great prospect to develop for Habs future... if the new department of development develop them well... I think we have two solid NHL players with them. They are talented and smart.

Two great finds by our Q scout

Ah makes sense. Thank you

 

[Goldenhands]

I dont see it with Dvorsky, looks really slow footed.

 

[Whitesnake]

Me hating Roy makes me think that the Dufour-Roy pairing is awesome. As I said before.
