No room. Someone was going to be sent down or waived today with Gaustad back from injury. We have 24 players on the roster and are only allowed 23. I just expected Stalberg.

Wouldn't be surprised if this is Poile trying to do Roy a favor and give him an opportunity with another team where he might get more playing time.
Can we just waiver Jokinen instead and keep D Roy in the lineup. He's more of an asset to the team imo than Jokinen. Also can have Stalberg as well, don't care for his play either.

Poile may have tried to trade him but other teams figured they could get him for free on waivers. I agree that Poile maybe trying to do Roy a favor so he can play on a team. With Fisher back we have got way to many centers and Roy lacks the size we need. Jarnkrok has locked down the 3C position and is our future. I think we'll give Stalberg another chance as we do need a 3rd line RW and we don't want to pay him 3M in Milwaukee if we don't have to.

jarnkrok's play these last two weeks and fisher's successful return meant roy obviously was totally expendable. still it's unlike poile to risk losing any asset for no return. so I agree, most likely poile has already tried to move roy and found zero takers. imagine EDM will pick him up immediately.

Roy is really cheap. 1 year. 1 million. He is worth that on a roster somewhere. I think he can be a useful player here as well given the right circumstances and injuries to certain players.
I do think the Preds probably have better options on the roster, and Roy's puck possession seemed to struggle this year.

It seems unlikely, but is it also possible Poile is trying to clear contract spots for a trade? Think we're at 49/50 right now.
I spoke too soon about Stalberg. Wonder if Poile is clearing contracts for a trade or to call up someone from Milwaukee to give them a shot

I would like to see one of the deserving kids in Milwaukee given a chance now. Unless Poile is working out a trade, but I doubt it.

Unless Jokinen is going to be scratched, it is useless as they will play with him if they play at all and that would be senseless. I'd rather them get playing time in Milwaukee than play with Jokinen.

I still think it's a mistake to get rid of Roy as we could use him for the SO and he was great along the boards and keeping the play going in the offensive zone. He may not have scored alot but he was great at setting other people up to score. I like him and prefer him over Jokinen and Stalberg but I understand him not wanting to play on the third or fourth line now that there is no room for him in the top 6. Wish him well on his new adventure.

I suspect he will get picked up, because it's a great contract for his potential. To me, he was smaller than I expected, so don't feel bad about this at all. We need to get some size on the roster.
