The REAL REASON behind the coaching change... - Habs at TOP of new prospect ranking

[@1anavelo15]

Hey Josh! Laurent here, it was nice to see you on Sallabery Street in Québec City! Come hang out at my shop 190 Dorchester next time you're around to talk habs! Cheers!

[@HabsDigest]

Laurent! Nice to meet you as well! Sounds great, I'll jot that down!

Habs weren't in the top 10 in prospect rankings this time last year. Before the draft they were ranked top 3. Goes to show how underrated our prospects have been

[@doubllechief6926]

Everything about the Habs is underrated right now. If the league doesn’t pay attention we’re going to glide into a Stanley Cup this decade

[@atarimeejyaneeka]

Mailloux disrespected, again.

[@tonylloy327]

He'll have his day. And make everyone eat their words.

[@davidrmouck5608]

Pascal Vincent is an interesting hire! Some negativity about his style, but he cant be any worse than the guy he replaced in Columbus 😅 No worries about Hutson being ranked lower, he's been doubted his whole career so far! As for Roy, I'm not sure he is not a lock this year...more competition this camp.

[@zblip22]

I think that placing Hutson right after Becket Sennecke is a great compliment to Hutson. Sennecke is an AMAZING prospect who got picked third, and rightly so. I agree 100% with this ranking except for Logan Mailloux who will prove to be an amazing player

Lane played two games against the hungriest team in the east/possibly the entire nhl. It doesn’t mean much but it’s also not like he wasn’t put to the test. Good on him.

[@Dcheen]

I like the move. Vincent has something to prove in terms of developing players, especially if he wants a chance at a future job in the NHL. I’m sure part of the process involved making it clear that they’re in the process of developing players.

[@francoisbouvier7861]

My thought is Vincent is going to be an upgrade from Houle. The experience factor and what looks like a good teacher for the younger pros.

[@GarthPotter]

Great coach in Cape Breton with The Eagles. Good with the young guns despite his time in CBJ

[@jasonpatrick5660]

I just hope Demidov has a long and injury free career. He'll take care of the offense if he doesn't get hurt.

[@supergoujon4776]

Thanks guys

[@rinobourgoin8829]

The ownership management team and leadership of the Columbus organization has been pretty much a joke for the last 10 years. Can you really blame the head coach for trying to make his players play better or put in more effort in their work? I have no doubt that the head coaches in Columbus had very little if any support from the general manager at any point in time.

[@rousseausp]

You guys made me feel a bit better about the coach change, hope you're right! 🤞

[@chriswannamaker7930]

Don't worry about where Hutson is. He will be just fine when he comes to Montreal. His size scares people off

[@jean-lucst-cyr2762]

Joshua Roy will surprise a lot of peaple, he’s a great player and has great vision of whats going to happen on the ice, so give him a chance to prove himself.

[@tonylloy327]

Agreed. At the WJC he did all the dirty work to help make Bedard look like the star he is. He's a complete player. The kind of player that brings out the best in other people around him...and the kind of player a winning team can never have enough of.

I have to say that I agree with some of the comments here today about Hutson. I just can't see an undersized d-man having a huge impact. He'll probably end up as a third pairing guy and a PP specialist. But Joshua Roy is the real deal. I wouldn't be at all surprised to see him munching big minutes as a 2nd or 3rd line player who gets both PP and PK roles. And Mailloux will be better than most people expect. No clue about Vincent...but I hope he can help some of our second-tier prospects develop into legit NHLers. 👍

[@raymondspruance]

Roy's skating limitations will always hamper his impact at the NHL level. For those who are so high on this prospect, just ask what Montreal could get for Roy , a presumed top 6 forward, in a trade. Could they get a first round choice? Certainly a second round pick. To put it in perspective, for Newhook, a clear cut second line player, Montreal paid both a first and second round picks. That's what dynamic skating brings. With Montreal already having Suzuki, Caufield, Slafkovsky, hopefully a healthy Dach, and Hewhook penciled in as top six forwards, with both Demidov and Hage arriving soon and with Hughes suggesting that he is prepared to enter into the free agency market to acquire one or two high scoring forwards, there will be no room for the skating challenged Roy. With Montreal having 3 first and and 3 second round choices over the next two years, the competition for Roy will only increase. If he can't make the two top lines, Roy isn't playing for Montreal. If Montreal could trade Roy for a second round pick, I don't think Hughes would hesitate.

[@tonylloy327]

@@raymondspruance Or, ask Bedard what he thinks about Roy. "Smartest player I've ever played with". Hockey sense goes a l-o-o-o-n--n-g way.

[@carycwilliams]

There's no questions around Vincent and the Blue Jackets. In the NHL, your job is to win. If your players aren't performing, then you take measures, if those measures don't work, then you take the next step and bench them. Columbus isn't a very good team at all, there has been a lot of mistakes made building the Jackets. Vincent was thrust into a bad situation, with Babcock unable to not be an a-hole, jerk, and someone without respect for his players. He didn't coach one game, and the assistant coach was thrust into it, and he was doing what he could to try to get the team into a winning position. I don't think Babcock would have been able to do much better, beyond his experience. The Blue Jackets weren't a contender, but Vincent ain't no Ducharme.

[@FooFahFoeFum]

Poirier mentioned players weights ... Some player being 20 pounds heavier than another..... Hello Montreal fans .... Lawson Crouse of Utah ... is 45 pounds heavier than Caufield... 8 inches taller ... Hits like a two ton truck .... Scored 4 goals less and his salary is 30 percent of Caufield ... Get rid of the shrimp before his value dimishes

[@carycwilliams]

@@FooFahFoeFum that’s the reason why you don’t work in hockey. I’m not going to argue it beyond Crouse had 5 goals less and 23 points less. Add to the fact that the first 30 games, Caufield was getting his feel back after his shoulder operation. But, you’re the expert

[@carycwilliams]

@@FooFahFoeFum I’ll just add to that, there are 3 guys that play a big man’s game that aren’t even with Montreal yet, 2 will be with them in 2 years, one will probably be with them in 3-4 years

I don't like the Pascal Vincent hire gives me a bad feeling.

I hope I am wrong and he is a great coach for the young prospects.

Bedard said that Roy is the smartest player he’s ever played with. Joshua produced everywhere he’s been including in a first pp role in the WJ with Bedard. And you, the expert who’s seen him play a total of 13 minutes altogether, tags him as a 3rd of 4th liner. I hope he gets a long audition with Dach and he proves you wrong.
