Prospect Info: Emergency Measures- Who should we call up from the CHL?

[SwiftyHab]

Great work by D’Amico on this. Not sure the Habs will do it but why not see where the prospects are at?

Daniil Sobolev

 

[Vachon23]

No one

But If we REALLY need to choose one, it would be Owen Beck

 

[WeThreeKings]

They won't do it.. but the easy answer is Joshua Roy if they were.

Joshua Roy is still on Sherbrooke and coming off a highly successful WJC. He also played a few AHL games.

Beck while he had the most impressive rookie camp, hasn't hit his stride yet in Peterborough and likely not a smart move to complicate that further by putting him on another team.

Mesar has been pretty cold since returning from the WJC.

Kidney nursing a minor injury and just got traded as well.

 

[SwiftyHab]

i think Beck being a center and the last cut at camp gives him a slight edge over Roy.

But I’d like to see Roy line up with Suzy and Cc.

Double shift Dadonov

 

[OnTheRun]

No one. The only situation where it's okay to consciously recall a junior player that late in the season is if you need a goalie, because he will slot as backup. But really if you're forced to recall a skater it should probably be Roy.

 

[Redux91]

Feels thin at C, gonna go with Beck

 

[Sterling Archer]

Roy has the most experience and flying after a dominant WJHC. I’d call him up with Beck a close second.

 

[schwang26]

Bedard.

 

[Habs13]

I want to see Owen Beck as I feel he has the highest ceiling

 

[MonkeyBusiness]

You call up Richard, and Laval calls up a player or two from Trois-Rivières. No need to go get someone who's in the CHL.

 

[Habs13]

Then Richard will need to clear waivers. He has no NHL future so why not see where the players that do are in their development?

[SOLR]

Bedard.

Keep him down I think, since we drafted him he didn't maintain his 4.9 pts/game average, insufficient for a call up....

 

[Habs13]

Are all four of these players eligible to play AHL next season? Do they have to BE 20 years or turn 20 during the season?

Mesar (January 3) 19 years old
Roy (August 6) 19 years old
Beck (February 3) 18 years (turning 19 in two weeks)
Kidney (March 25) 19

Roy and Kidney yes.

Beck no.

Mesar yes because he wasn’t playing CHL prior to being drafted in the pros.

 

[Dr Quincy]

Kostenko

 

[Habs13]

Roy and Kidney yes.

Beck no.

Mesar yes because he wasn’t playing CHL prior to being drafted in the pros.

Should be an interesting Laval team next season

 

[McGuires Corndog]

Should be an interesting Laval team next season

Potentially, we thought the same this year but a lot of our young D men ended up on the Habs roster.

Don’t be surprised if there is a fire sale and some forwards like Roy are playing in the NHL next season. Not saying that’s the right path, just saying it’s a real possibility

 

[DAChampion]

If it means legitimate ice time, Roy.

 

[Goldenhands]

They wont do that and no one is ready, but I would callup Mesar just to stay away from that shit show Kitchener is.

 

[General Fanager]

No one but If they do it should be Roy. He looked great and the WJC. Even if its for a few to get the kid some games and a paycheque or two

Because you're going to handicap their respective OHL teams by calling them up. It doesn't make sense, especially when you have professional players at your disposal in our farm clubs. It sets a bad precedent and is not necessary. Call up anyone else on our AHL team, it doesn't matter.

They wont do that and no one is ready, but I would callup Mesar just to stay away from that shit show Kitchener is.

I'm honestly surprised Mesar wasn't traded.

 

[morhilane]

I'm honestly surprised Mesar wasn't traded.

Kitchener decided they were going for it and traded for players instead of trading players away.
