Player Discussion Joshua Roy

[Naslundforever]

I mean, that's true for 98% of drafted players. Plenty of #3OA picks that became nothing, plenty of 5th or 7th round picks that became Datsyuk and Markov.



Ok. Challenge accepted.

Although not having an explosive first step does not stop a few players from being efficient, you would have a very hard time making a case it would not be a good thing that makes any player better.

Cole and Suzuki come to mind as having benefited. Cole could not jump into open space or create any separation year one pro.

I watched Roy a whole sequence (was it Saturday?) where he was in front of the opposing net a good while and never even pretended he would fetch 2-3 loose pucks in the corners that seemed to me he was the closest hab to. Might be confirmation bias, but looks to me like he knows he won’t usually reach 50-50 pucks first so he does something else useful. It just limits his arsenal and the potential output to situations. Not sure how useful all these anecdotal stories of slow-to-average players having success (or not) despite are.

Wellp

Guess we don't have to worry about 'that' anymore at least? Lol

Both ex Habs players are doing great with the Winnipeg. Sadly for us, is going to be a very late first round pick.

Teams with 12th overall picks don't trade for rentals. This is a normal thing

There were a couple plays last night where you just wish he was faster. He's so smart at finding open space but unfortunately the defensemen caught up to him or closed the gap so fast he couldn't make a play.

It would be super if he had Newhooks speed to go along with with his hands and head.

 

[26Mats]

RHP should be promoted in Roy's absence.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Crappy news. But better now than next year. Heal up and next year go for the Calder.

All the best to Mr Roy.

 

[Paddyjack]

Personally I don't see why people are so stuck about "he has to be top6 or crap". Maybe because I remember fondly a third line of Skrudland-Carbo-McPhee I have absolutely no problem with Roy being on a third line, with his defensive smarts and good shot. I would actually be curious to pair him with the likes of Beck as a two-way line, if Beck is any good of course.

Never disagreed. Speed is always good to have. But it's not necessary.

I'd take Monahan on any contender.

Yeah same Monahan Roy Armia as a line for example would probably provide plenty of sweet plays. Fun 3rd line.

I hope to see RHP promoted to that spot with the Gallagher-Evans-Anderson line looking like it's starting to contribute a little more lately

That was one hell of a 3rd line!

Not so sure...............he has looked like a 4th liner this year, and his numbers are the proof.
Last year, may have been lightining in a bottle.

Workers, every one of them.

 

[Rob Sense]

MTL luck, everytimes our young players get hurts.....I'm guessing Slafkovski is next.

there is a stupid jinx on this team. Can anyone identify another team where virtually every player goes down with injury??? I know this is all dumb luck but why can't we be lucky the other way and say...win the F*ing lottery???

 

[Rob Sense]

Both ex Habs players are doing great with the Winnipeg. Sadly for us, is going to be a very late first round pick.

They are doing better than every forward except Schiefele. So much for 'Peg fans who did not believe us and thought the ex-Habs were junk. I hope Monahan wins the Conn Smythe!

I miss toffoli, he just made everyone better around him, what a beast

53 years later, a Hab might be rookie of the year (!)

Price would’ve had a really good shot at it if he’d played more than the 41 games he got in.

Welp interest is bordering on zero now.

Just LOSE ALL REMAINING GAMES.

 

[BLONG7]

Man the hockey gods are killing us with injuries.........................they are still made about us beating the Leafs in 7 games.............Brutal.

Is there really someone who doesn't see that Josh Roy is top6 material? You have to have really low hockeyIQ...

He's gotta work on his skating, and I then see no ceiling
