Rick 2.0 Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Everyone is talking about how he wasn't having a good year in Dallas... 22 points in 30 games isn't a good year? That's 3rd on our team behind the Twins... He was fine in Dallas and he will be fine here. Now we just need to re-sign him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kryten Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Wow--2 pages of rebuttals...Pasific, well-researched thought-provoking thread. I'm still partial to Saniel Dedin though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter.S-Kerouac Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Roy was the best possible pickup. Clowe would have been nice too but in the end he chose not to come here soooooo it's not like MG didn't try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thad Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 It was always about SuperKesler coming back, regardless of whoever we pick up. No SuperKesler? No advancing far into playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil_314 Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 He may be just what the doctor ordered for the Canucks. Top 6 scoring forward-- check Play-making center to play with the plethora of wingers here, and fills the 2nd line center gap with Kes gone-- check Set-up man for Kes/ 2nd PP QB? Check For just a 2nd and a D prospect (which we have several good ones) I'd say it's not as bad as other deals, and if he's re-signed then the deal will just look even better.

Wilbur Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Heh, you're skeptical about Roy's points in the Eastern Conference yet you reference Clowe's production....in the Eastern conference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VanNuck Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 I think Roy can work out fine. First, it can give the Nucks up to three lines come playoff time. Difficult for an opponent to consistently shut down all three. Secondly, if you play Roy next to Kassian or Kesler, potential manhandlers may think twice about taking liberties on him. Most importantly, and this is what I'm not sure of, does Roy have the will power and determination to get through and win? If he does, then his lack of size will be a non-issue. It's not about size or strength. Someone like Big Bert, he has all the skill and muscle power to beat anyone, but he didn't, because he didn't have the will to win.

Systemaddict Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 I'll leave alone the point that you didn't actually watch Roy before or know anything about him... But why go on to make the case that it's easier to score in the East to undercut Roy's value there and then make the case that we should have had Clowe, who you point out had 2 goals in his first game with the Rangers...who play in the easier to score East when before that he had none ? Roy may not be a savior - but he improves this team without question. You can take issue with no more moves being made, but not by trying to strike at the one move that was.

Understand Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Roy is so similar to Kyle Wellwood..both physical size and their playing style. Both are very skillful but so tiny. If I am Kyle Wellwood, I must be wondering why the heck is that guy earning so much more money than me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

etsen3 Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Roy is a solid player. If Kesler comes back, he's a GREAT 3rd line centre. However, I did find these pictures on the internet. Enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Understand Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Haha Come on, Wellwood ? Roy was shortlisted for the 2010 Men's Olympic team, Wellwood isn't in that league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
