Confirmed Signing with Link: [LAK] Kings re-sign Matt Roy (3 years, $3.15M AAV)

Solid player, great deal for the Kings. Doesn't even put a dent in our cap space. We can add bigger pieces with deals like these.

My parents are friends with his parents. I remember telling my parents years ago he likely wouldn’t be an NHLer since he was a 7th round pick. Props to him for proving me wrong.

Damn my hockey knowledge is slipping. I've never even heard of this guy.

Partially because when he's doing his job, you won't.

Except from the advanced stats community making him the latest in a long line of defensemen who are better than Drew Doughty.

It is pretty funny that this thread is composed of two types of people - Kings fans saying "wow, great deal!" and non-Kings fans saying "who?"

pretty much an LA reality

"Who's Muzzin?"
"Who's Martinez?"

then became

"Who's Forbort?
"Who's McNabb?

now it's

"Who's Sean Walker"
"Who"s Matt Roy?"

but my favorite remains, Doughty??? ewwwww so overrated, obviously SUBBAN KARLSSON BURNS are vastly superior lol classic

This thread has made me understand some of the terrible takes on this site a little better. Imagine the responses if you put Roy in a trade proposal, suddenly all these "who?" people would be telling you how useless he is and that he would be worth a 4th round pick at best. Montreal fans would try to pawn off Byron and Leaf fans would tell you he wouldn't even make their taxi squad.

Looks like the Kings may have unearthed another undrafted gem in Austin Strand.

As a Devils' fan, I know him as a brother of a former Devil and current Leaf, Joey Anderson

At least Mikey Anderson played internationally so there will be a few fans that recognize the name from the WJC or the Ivan Hlinka.

Strand may look like a registered sex offender but he is a hell of a d-man
