'He's not an NHL caliber player': Joshua Roy's call-up sparks major debate in Montreal
The Canadiens are battling injuries and a rough start, and the call-up of Joshua Roy is creating strong reactions among fans and sparking plenty of debate.
Joshua Roy was recalled this Sunday after a good start to the season with the Laval Rocket. In ten games, he registered seven points and posted a +4 rating.
However, we have to admit that this isn't really translating to the NHL.
Despite these very promising numbers, criticism is taking over. Several observers claim he does not deserve this call-up.

"Why bring up Joshua Roy? We know what he brings "nothing"! I'd much rather see Xhekaj (Florian) called up.
It's always Roy and he's never noticeable! The only time I've noticed so far was when Columbus scored and he didn't have his man covered!"
