If he makes it to UFA we should make a hard push for him while everyone else goes after guys like Pesce, Tanev, Montour, Skjei and others. He would be our #3 and give our D-core a massive upgrade. He's everything we need offensively & defensively, is very physical and is also great on the PK.
Anything from 4-6 years at 4-6 million is fair game.

No thanks. We should get tanev dillion zad
This management group won’t give out a 6-year deal to a 29-year-old defenseman who isn’t a known quantity with the roster. They’ll re-sign Hronek, who nearly doubled Roy’s offensive production in a mixed contract year and is 3 years younger, before going after Roy at that cost.
He’s a great shutdown defenseman, but I don’t see the Canucks being well-positioned to make this move because they’d have to trade Hronek without taking much incoming cap in return.
Pass.
For the money being asked, him over zadorov
Everyone is saying Tanev but tbh I’d get a rock hard boner if this team could acquire Montour.
Completely agree. I think he would be a great fit alongside either Hughes or Soucy. I’d have no problem giving him something around 5×5.
It would be a boon for us to land him.
I’m a Matt Roy fan. Would be great to land him at the right price.
Roy-baby
I’m traumatized by the suggestion of having anyone with the surname Roy on this team.
Sounds like you were listening to SN 650 today at some point.
5×5, get it dun PA.
They really gotta move Mikheyev
Wonder how much of that D value is driven by their forwards playing the trap?
Blue numbers good
I’d love Roy. Absolutely needs to be on the top of our list. Sadly after that I feel like we will be bargain binning. There are endless directions this could go. It’ll be incredibly interesting. Keep in mind after next year for TWO years after that our OEL cap penalty goes up to 4.8 million I think.
Either way I’m extremely happy to have competent management here.
I think a lot of our youth is going to play a huge role. A HUGE role. I think Mikheyev too. I know a ton of people want him dumped off but I think he’s going to bounce back. ACL recovery is big. I’m not sure if there are any Atlanta Braves fans lurking but even Acuña said he didn’t trust his body for a whole season. Not everyone can be Adrian Peterson or Malkin and have a great year after that.
I’d give him a new line and a clean slate for the year. He’s also worth nothing right now and I really don’t wanna rescue the Canes from the Kotkaniemi contract lol.
Guys like Dumba could come to mind. Had a rough year, might be cheap. Tocchet seems to be really good at getting guys right. 🤷🏻♂️
Yep. Need to sign this guy for the backend.
If we use Hronek in a trade for a Top 6 Scoring Winger (Necas) than yea, Roy’s on the list.
Along with Tanev, Pesce and a couple of others.
I like Hronek a lot (when he’s healthy) I just don’t know if he has the physicality needed in the playoffs (again hard to tell because he was hurt).
I dunno about #1 but this guy has been on my list too. Now there’s no telling the price or whatever but he’s a target for sure.
I’ve seen stat charts and fans say Roy is a really good rhd but I’m not sold on him. Two things: first, he’s played nothing but the trap in LA and I’m curious if playing that system has made his advanced stats look very rosy. Second, one stat you can’t fib are giveaways vs takeaways. People are calling this guy a supposed shutdown dman and as far as how LA used him that checks out, he played the vast majority of his minutes with Gavrikov. Here’s the problem, his giveaways vs takeaways are consistently putrid. Like 5x more giveaways than takeaways bad. Are we asking for the second coming of Mr. Luca “pizza delivery boy” Sbisa?
Honestly I wouldn’t even look at Roy if he wanted more than a 4 x 4M and even that I’d have to sleep on it.
