[Trade] Derek Roy to VAN


Recommended Posts

No win situation for Gillis..... we needed help in scoring and a center. Roy was the best option for what we could afford to trade away and we couldnt bring anyone in that had contract after this season.

Much like the Booth trade, everyone praised him at the time for trading but will now bitch and moan about it now that it didnt work.

It was a decent trade, because the Canucks window was closing, perhaps a bit faster than many thought.

Judge a trade on the merits at the time, not on hindsight.

No one really knew that the Canucks would fail so badly in the playoffs, at least not to the certainty that they should have been sellers instead of buyers.

I'm thinking the same as when the trade went down.... It was kcon and a 2nd for a rental of Roy and a pick (3rd or 4th) that could be aquired for his negotiation rights at the draft.

There aren't any better options on the free agent market. Could see a few teams eager to jump the gun and get on on signing him.

Losing a 2nd and Connaughton sucks knowing torres was more of an impact than Roy. Roy is not built for playoffs.

Just dont re-sign this guy but knowing Gillis he probably will try to re-sign him 5+ mil long term with NTC and call him the biggest acquisition this summer.
