F Robert Orr - Lac St-Louis Lions, QMAAA (2021, 136th, CAR)

[DannyGallivan]

Rooting for this kid just because of the name.

Seriously, I watched him play last weekend and he's an interesting prospect. He's probably a 1st round pick in the next QMJHL Draft as of now.

Alas, he must change his name or be burned at the stake as a heretic.

I agree. He should be forced to assume his middle name IF he ever makes it to the big league

 

[saintunspecified]

As an Orr (of the same Canadian maritime/PQ/MA heritage), I'd never name a kid Robert/Bobby. I do have an uncle Bobby, but he's *older* than the Bobby Orr.

 

[Tube Skates]

I think he’s proudly named after his grandfather and is actually Robert Orr III. I also believe he proudly displays a III tattoo on his wrist. Just about any offspring of a Robert would have a nickname Bobby. Only makes sense right.

21-22 season, Halifax are gonna win the Q championship.
Their young guns are then 1 year better, bigger, faster, smarter, more experienced.

2022-2023, their young guys will still be too young in 2021-2022. I'm a huge Mooseheads fan but 2022-2023 they will need to have both Desnoyers and L'Heureux back and hope they have a strong 2021 Q draft like they did in 2020.

Exactly, 21-22 is too soon. I believe they'll have to trade Desnoyers next season, he won't be back as an OA.

Now that's an EA Sports NHL random generated name of I ever heard one.

Can't wait to see him on a line with Tiny Gretzky and Vladimir Byfuglien.

Tiny Gretzky

Bobby Orr has been on the first line almost every game with Zachary L'Heureux and Eliot Desnoyers.

Bobby has his off nights but he is a great producer and does almost everything right, he's got great handling, skating, edgework, etc. I hope he gets bigger though, he's pretty small at 5'11" 176lbs I think he's Round 4 calibur. Maybe an NHL fourth liner someday. Watch him get drafted by the Bruins lol.

Here's some footage from a game in March:

 

[Artorius Horus T]

Good start to his d+1 season, in his first preseason game, 2 goals and an primary apple.
Both of his goals? short handed. He had total of 3 shots on goal and was +2.

Trading down six or seven times in the draft to turn your 8 original picks into a post-lockout record 13 picks...helps. They are also extremely unafraid about drafting smaller players. On average, their draft class's height metrics since the 2019 draft are by far the shortest of any team in the NHL.

He isn't small thou, at 5 foot 11 (almost 6 feet tall) and weighs around 180.
or in the Q page, 6 foot 1, 182

He isn't small thou 5 foot 11 (almost 6 feet tall) and weighs around 180.

Using some NHL GMs' logic, any player under 6 feet is "small". Not saying it's my logic, but still...

Traded to Gatineau.

 

[wetcoast]

Traded to Gatineau.

Gatineau looks to be a pretty good team this year as well.

 

[Teaspoon salami]

Gatineau is going to be a powerhouse, but I’m still scratching my head as to why this makes sense for the Mooseheads.

I’m thinking with how good Logan Crosby has been at camp - it allowed Halifax to move on from Orr and recoup a few draft choices.

 

[Tube Skates]

Orr was more than disgruntled with his minutes and his distribution. Hopefully this will kick start him again. His effort was lagging after Christmas last year
