First round fodder
LA should have traded him. He's a good player but outpriced himself in all likelihood with the Kings.

Keeping him is kinda like getting a rental for playoff run

I would not put money on that with the local revenur problems with many teams on bally sports/RSzn fall out.

Thats what some don’t understand. I tried.
No playoff team is going to weak their backend.
You play 70 to 82 games to get into the playoffs. Oh wait, lets trade our 2nd/3rd best defenseman for some picks.
Great signal.

Ya goal is to win a cup, if you’re a playoff team it’s very unlikely you’re going to purposely make the team worse.

Yup and most likely LA will be eliminated quickly but so are 24 other teams.
A lot of the posters think real life is like playing the NHL video game

There are teams desperate for RD. There are teams desperate for a top 4 shutdown D. This is great news for Matt Roy. If he signs for anything under 5 years, I would be surprised unless it was a monster AAV.
I'll predict 5 years, 6M AAV.

Wanted LA to deal Roy at the deadline. See some posters saying it made no sense given they are a playoff team. I think Black needed to look at the club and ask if they were winning anything as constructed. Plus they have Clarke to back fill. I get his is not as polished or defensively responsible as Roy, but still think it would have made sense.....if they could have got good value for him

Or you plug in Clarke and take your chances. Roy is a good defender but huge missed opportunity to move him out at a premium price. Especially for a team destined for a first round exit or maybe just a first round victroy.
I get why they did it I just don't agree that this was the year for that.

Todd McLellan is an inside agent
The irony being LA may not even be a playoff team with Roy
Imagine how those posts above look if LA is three points off
THAT is why you trade him
I've said before I wouldn't have for those very same reasons but to act like it would have been folly to move him isn't very reasonable.

Alex Carrier comes to mind as an obvious one.
The issue with going after Roy is the term he will want. If you are looking for experienced players grab some vets to be short term commitments like Brodie, Cole, or Martinez. None of those players are going to get more than 3 years from anyone. Then there will also be teams looking to dump cap. Abuse that and you could add someone like Ceci or Schmidt
This is Hockey's Future...I notice that many LA fans on the site have taken that to its logical extreme.

Hopefully he's the top target for Staios and the Sens.
Personally I'd go as high as $6.5X6 and worry about the last 2 years of the contract when we get there. Too many teams are in need of a quality top-four RD for me to envision him going for anything less than $5.5X5 and there's usually a tax to get these guys to sign for small market Canadian teams.
If Montour re-ups in Florida as assumed the list of top-four RHD available in UFA is going to be extremely short (5-6 names tops) and I wouldn't be surprised if all of them get eye popping deals.

Matt Roy sounds like he was created in a lab to be Simon Edvinsson's partner in Detroit.
He's going to be in very high demand due to great defensive ability combined with puck moving skills. I think every team in the league could use a guy like him.

The major difference being that Briere has job security and Blake is on the hottest of hot seats.
Could turn out to be the wrong move for the franchise but there was some self preservation going on.
Yes, but there is another season after this doomed playoff run.
We don't need Roy to be removed in round 1, but we desperately need 1st rounder draft picks

Many seasons and many 1st rounders yes.
The point still stands how teams are being runned.
