Thanks for all you do Eddie.
In hind sight the Kings should have used Roy in the Fiala deal and brought up Faber.
Man, was hoping that the Kings could keep Roy but I get it. Oh well…
Wouldn’t surprise me to see Andre Lee make it and take Tonka’s place on the 4th line. And…maybe then Sammy Helenius next year
Clarke would probably take his place
Another fail by Blake to not get anything for Roy! He is a terrible GM.
With Spencer and Clarke coming in and both have millions less in cap hits. If Roy walks in am not that worried.
He is in line for a raise and he has earned every penny of it.
Not bad for a 7th round pick but since he's 6 years older than Spencer and 8 years older than Clarke the writing is on the wall.
We will be fine. Probably even improved.
I don't picture how this team is going to be any better. Goals against in particular will rise dramatically & I feel we’re going to take a step back.
Roy has been an analytic darling defensively for the last 5 seasons with us. Stay at home RHD are hard to replace.
Good luck Grundy..
I can not disagree with you more Matt Roy is going to be a massive loss to the blueline, all of Clarke's offense will not replace the loss of Roy's defense, there isn't an upgrade out there so why move on, just because you want a left-right balance, screw that play the best players, they'll adapt, although i came to grips with Roy walking when Gavrikov got $5.8, i doubt LA would have made the playoffs without Roy, what he brings is so underrated and despite the PK in the playoffs (alot harder to defend Mcdavid, Draisaitl and Hymen, 12 ft from the net, when your D partner is nowhere to be found), remember this the only time McDavid went at Matt Roy, at even strength in the playoffs, he ended up on his ass, after skating through 4 Kings, no one defends McDavid better than Roy, and as far as Walker he didn't have a spot on the roster and was traded to PHI more to give him a shot to play top 4 minutes and Walker wasnt traded for a 1st Johanson's contract made it a 1st, Walker in LA, after 2 major injuries in consecutive seasons flat out didn't have the trade value and no roster spot available and by trading him Grans and a 2nd (in other words 2 2nds and an undrafted player without a spot) they cleared $5.7 mil in unusable cap,bBlake is doing a better job than the haters are willing to give credit slow down and let the artist paint
Should’ve traded him away still can. Hopefully kings trade him during the draft
