    Idk about replacing Armia but I think Roy might become a very good complement to Suzuki and caufield’s line. We can’t give him right away. He needs to prove he can be consistent in this league but if he does a good job he will eventually get this chance and I think he can pull it off. He is smart enough, he has the skills to pull.ir off and he can be physical..

  2. I think he’ll become closer to a winger version of Danault in 4 to 5 years. He’s the most well rounded player we have in our prospect pool. Good shot, good skating, great vision, good IQ, good Compete. Good Defensive Sense. I just hope he’s ready for Pro and can take the step.

    I’d rather see him in Laval until the following year unless he absolutely blows us away at camp.

    He looks a little bored playing with Junior players, the AHL should be a significant step up in competition for him, and it will give him a chance to build some chemistry with potential future Habs like Heineman, Farrell and maybe Kidney.

    More importantly he can work on his skating with professional coaches, if Roy is able to develop his skating to the point where its above NHL average he instantly becomes a high-end prospect for us, he’s got everything else. It’ll be difficult for him to focus on that at the NHL level until he’s more accustomed to playing with men.

    He can always join the team at the deadline after we’ve made more space for him and he’s had more time to prove if he ready yet or not.

    I think they should let him be in Laval next year. No rush

    dont think he is anywhere close to a comparable player to armia lmao, did you just pick a random player and be like, “can this guy replace him?”

    Has his speed improved to pro level hockey?

    Am i understanding OP that you’d think Armia might be traded or bought back ? What’s your take here ?

    I don’t see any of those options happening this summer tho.

    For Roy as many said i’d see him start in Laval and when TDL comes, if he’s ready and we liberated some spots on the roster we might see him on MTL. Even there we have soooo many fowards signed.

    And i’d think Heineman and Ylonen are farther in their developpement/evaluation by FO, even maybe Farrell. We’re in no rush with him, his developpement seems to go very well and next automn is going to be a big step for him.

    This is a really good example of how sometimes people clearly don’t understand the exponential difference between the NHL and the QMJHL or junior in general.

    Unless Roy’s skating changes completely over the summer, he needs at least a year in the AHL. Nice prospect but he’s not an NHL player yet.

    Isn’t there a rule against editorial titles when posts also shares news?
