I just don't think that handedness is the determinant blocker yet. Not that I'm advising playing Spence or Clarke on the left side regularly, but they may adjust to the position change better than Durzi.Roy IS in the way by virtue of his handedness. There is no room for a player like Roy if our three RHD are Doughty, Spence, and Clarke.
Neither Clarke nor Spence have played half an NHL season at this point. Durzi is on track to be one of the better offensive defensemen in the league this year.
I understand Spence and Clarke are exciting offensive prospects that will very likely make Durzi obsolete. But people need to check into reality every once in a while.
One of Spence's understated skills is his adaptability.
I just don't think Roy can be seen as a blocker when his role as a pairing stabilizer and defensive defenseman would be replaced by Clarke or Spence.
