Recalled/Assigned: Joshua Roy Called up to Montréal

[LesHabitants]

I agree Roy playing with Newhook. It’s been a few games now that they look really good together


Roy Iq and vision, as well as an underrated shot, would be a great fit with Newhook and Dach

But how can Hutson and Mailloux be 2 thirds of our 2nd line if that's the case? (Hehehehe).

 

[Goalfield22]

If Roy was drafted a year later, he would have easily been a 1st rounder. He was a 1OA pick in the Q that was fat in his draft year. He turned it around quickly. We are so lucky.

 

[Andy]

Roy and Newhook are developing some nice chemistry.

The main thing holding Roy back right now is his strength. That will come with time.

Strength and if he can get a little bit more burst off the blocks with his skating.

 

[Habaneros]

Wright - 11 NHL games, 2 points
Roy - 9 NHL games, 2 points

Update ROY vs Wright

Wright 11Nhl games 2pts
Roy 11 NHL games 5pts


2 × p Wright) / 100 = 3
(2 × Roy) / 100) × 100 = 3 × 100
2 p Wright = 300
2p Roy / 2 = 300 / 2

Roy = 150% BETTER player than Wright.
Case closed.

Would be crazy if someday we fit them under the cap as opposite each other on the 3rd line, and the 2nd line had our 2024 1st and Zegras on the wings.

Roy masterclass

There is a reason Wright fell to #4.

 

[Redux91]

Still 20 years old until August lol
5 pts in 11 games
Some guys start with 0's for 20 games

He could be really good man, once he gets settled and has like 80 NHL games under his belt

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

It’s speaks to how many good players we have coming up that this guy is sometimes lost in the shuffle. He’s a great young prospect and he’ll be in our top six for a long time.

Lost in the shuffle? Certainly not by me. He's been #1 prospect on my list for the past 2 years now.

I think we have Newhook, our 2024 1st, and whatever trades Hughes may pull off with our surplus of picks and D prospects, that may give Roy a run for his money for the last 2 top 6 spots after cc, suzy, slaf, and dach. But yes it would be show high young forward depth if either or both of Newhook and Roy were seen as probably lower on the depth chart than being in the top 6.

I think Roy will be higher on the pecking order than Newhook. Newhook I think can be an effective second liner but he’s borederline. I could see him winding up with Beck in the third in the future. We’ll probably draft another top six guy this year and Newhook will be int he top six for the time being.

Yes I see it like this. But Newhook still has room to develop, so it all depends on their still undetermined developmental paths.

Yep. And injuries will no doubt factor into things as well.

We'll be a 'really good team' when we'll have enough talent in the top 6 that can push a good player like Newhook to the 3rd line where he could still score 20+ for us
THATS when we'll be rolling

If Roy is one of those top6 guys then great, if not, we're still just missing 1-2 and both could possibly be had as soon as this summer

Honestly, that could happen as early as next year.

If we landed a strong top six guy who could play right away, you’ve got CC, Slaf, Dach, Nick and Roy plus the new player. That would bump Newhook to the third if the new guy could play right away.

I know it won’t happen but I’d be thrilled if we got Cellebrini. That’d be incredible for us. With that I’d think we’d have a cup in our future.

 

[Scintillating10]

Roy had good game last night. With two assists, almost tied game in third period. Made nice play on Wifi goal. He could be here to stay.

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

He's somehow revived the zombie corpse of Josh Anderson for the past few games

 

[Leon Lucius Black]

Not comparing them as players, but I get a lot of Suzuki vibes with him in that he's a very smart player, has a lot of tools and is willing to work on weaknesses to continue to become a better and more complete player.

Since being drafted he's improved his skating, play without the puck and has improved his conditioning. It is hard to put a ceiling on him given he not only has the talent, but he's shown a willingness to continue to get better.

 

[overlords]

Wawa is currently t-13th in scoring in the 2021 draft. Up a few spots on guys like #13 overall pick Matt Coronato.

If he can improve his skating he will easily be the steal of the 2021 draft.

 

[Naslundforever]

He stands really tall whithout the puck, he has to squat before getting going each time I feel.

[Supersonic]

Was saying last year that he reminds me of Kucherov in the sense he’s smart and the puck seems to be glued to his stick

I think the sky is the limit for this guy given how he has progressed, plus as a local kid, I think he knows how cool this could be if he breaks out with all the other young guys
