At the start of the season, many were surprised by the reassignment of young forward Joshua Roy to the Laval Rocket.

Well, obviously, his disappointing training camp didn't help, as he himself admitted..

However, as Kent Hughes has just confirmed, there's a much more important reason.

A reason that also explains why Joshua Roy wasn't recalled after Oliver Kapanen's departure and why the young veteran Lucas Condotta was chosen over him.

While things aren't going well in Montreal, with the team hardly winning, it's the complete opposite in Laval.

In an interview with Sportsnet journalist Eric Engels, Kent Hughes specifically mentioned that this is definitely linked to decisions made for certain young players.

From what we understand from the GM's comments, the real reason players like Joshua Roy are with the Laval Rocket is simply because it seems to be better for their development at the moment.

It's better for them to be in a winning environment.
