Sujet: Cannot believe we got him in the 5th round
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MoreHitzSeider</b></div><div>Oh my bad. So you wanted me to say he's Mario Lemieux? It's essentially what you're saying. Sorry I won't say that.</div></div>

I was just making you aware of his background because the context of his development is important to understand when evaluating Roy. I never made any future projections on him besides saying he's a superstar prospect right now.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jonh514</b></div><div>I agree he is overachieving. I think he will be a middle 6 player who can also take some PP minutes in the NHL. Overachieving is more fun than underacheiving!</div></div>

I think at this point in time, that would be his floor, given the way he's shown to be an adaptable smart player I can't really picture him not being anything less than this.

Sujet: Cannot believe we got him in the 5th round
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MoreHitzSeider</b></div><div>I hope the kid pans out. I like to see low round picks make it to the NHL and become good players. I just remember being so excited about Mantha and then realizing why he dropped in the draft. He's a talented but lazy Floater with no work ethic.

Zadina was rated 3rd going into his draft and put up great numbers in the Q. It was Fools Gold. He was drafted to score goals and he doesn't score any goals.

The good thing is that Roy doesn't have a work ethic problem and seems to be overachieving. He didn't look out of place at the WJC.</div></div>

He actually had a work ethic problem in his draft year, he was 20lbs overweight! That's why he went in the 5th round. Formerly, he went 1st overall in the QMJHL entry draft! Just a little fun fact. So the talent was never in question with Roy.

That being said, he completely changed his character, got on a diet and changed the way he plays hockey and has turned himself into a superstar 2 way winger prospect.

Lastly, you said he "didn't look out of place" at the WJC, he was one of Canada's top 3 players voted by the team, so I that's an understatement lol.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jonh514</b></div><div>Everyone is taking it for granted that Mailloux makes the NHL. A lot of amateur scouts who follow the Habs say he struggles with making smart decisions when put under pressure. He's loaded with skill but does not have great "hockey sense". The last 1st round pick defensemen we had who scored in bunches in junior who was described that way: Nate The Gr8 (Beaulieu).

Mailloux still has a lot of time to figure this out and I hope he can, but the ability to score from the blue line does not trump being able to read and react at NHL speed.</div></div>

yeah I mean it's no guarantee he makes it but most of these "amateur scouts" have their opinions skewed by what happened in Mailloux's past, which was horrible, but he's been to therapy and has changed as a person since then. I've seen enough of him to know that he's got all the tools to be a top 4 dman in the NHL, he'll just need to learn to dump it off the glass once in a while (much easier to teach than to tell a kid to learn how to score).

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Just_A_Guess</b></div><div>I don't think it's an "if" or "eventually" I think it's closer to the Sandin move where Harris is good/great but ends up being the odd man out with the talent that is available at his position within the organization. I get that he's becoming a fan favourite but Lord Stanley is also a fan favourite and we're stacked up on the left (whether he plays RD or not isn't my point, he's still a lefty). Personally I think it's a decent deal for both sides but I can see your point I suppose, maybe we target a different RD then but either way I'd be moving him for a RD (ie one of the budding RD prospects/young RD in LA).</div></div>

Hopefully Hughes learned from Dubas mistakes of trading Sandin at a discounted price. I actually don't think he'll be an odd man out thought, hes really good and I think hes good enough to play RD as a bottom pair down the line. This is my future top 6:

Guhle - Barron
Hutson - Mailloux
Xhekaj - Harris

As of right now, I don't see Engstrom, Struble or Trudeau achieving the same level as Harris (Engstrom is the most likely)


This would be after Matheson and Savard contracts are both expired / traded cause the young guys are ready.

Sujet: dark horse wildcard team
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Leafsfan98</b></div><div>I don't mean to burst your bubble... but you have to know that Montreal (with Dubois) have no chance at being close to the wild card spot next year. If you want to argue the year after that (only if Matthews leaves TO, Tampa implodes and Boston is too old to compete), then you have a chance and even then, it'll be a dog fight to the very end...

If I were Hughes, I would be shipping off Suzuki or Caufield (prob Suzuki considering he is older), Dach, Allen, Matheson and Savard for their values at draft day and try to compete in 2026-27 when all of these teams have imploded (maybe not But and Ott but they will be on their last hurrah). When trading the players above, teams with bad GMs (EDM, PITS, TBL, PHI etc.) would be GMs that I would be calling first to start the price high.</div></div>

you think im taking this bait lol get a life
