Roy had a great game today. The way he plays reminds me like Drew Doughty, not always flashy but can complete a pass from anywhere on the ice. Knows when to jump into the rush and rush the puck up the ice and especially the patience. For example, opposing team dumped the puck to Roy's side, he gets possession, spins the hit, another forechecker attacks and he flips it around the net. He's known as an offensive defenceman but nobody think he has just average defence, he can skate the puck out of his zone against an earthquake.
He really has all the tools, not overly physical but can cut players off. Top 10 talent atleast IMO.
I think he'll get into the top 10. McDavid, Eichel, Hanifin, Marner, Strome, Barzal, Konecny, Kylington, Zacha, Roy will all be in the top 10 IMO.I know you say he has top 10 talent, but do you see him going top ten in the draft? Or the strength of this draft pushing him down to the 20s area?
Would Eric Desjardins be a decent comparable for Roy? Or does he play more of an all offence game like a Karlsson or Letang?
How come he was like -3 in one of his last games even with an assist?

He was -1 with 3 assist vs Rim and +2 with 1 goal vs Bathurst this past weekend. In my opinion he is the real deal.
