Matt Roy Next Contract

[Gliff]

What kind of contract do you see Matt Roy getting, or what would you be willing to offer?

 

[bossram]

You look at Detroit inflating the market with Chiarot for defensive defensemen, and Roy is Actually Good whereas Chiarot is not, so at minimum I expect Roy to be at $5M, with significant term. Then you look at someone in the Severson range, and Roy's agent is probably licking his chops. Graves got a lower AAV, but with the LTIRetirement term he wanted.

If Roy wants to sign with a good team though, I could see something like ~$5.5M x 5 years.

 

[Mrfenn92]

5x5, 5x6

 

[KevinRedkey]

If I were Staios, I'd offer him 6x6 to play in Ottawa.

 

[Ledge And Dairy]

With the cap actually going up by a relevant number the next few years anything less than 6M would be shocking. Top 4 RD are already in high demand. defensively reliable ones are even higher. Look at what Severson got, I imagine it will be about the same.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

5-6 years, 5.5-7m

most likely to land on 6x6.5 imo

Still hoping he likes socal a lot and wants to come play for the ducks

fingers crossed

Wouldn't be TOO shocked given he has a young child

But he's a Michigan boy thru and thru

Hard dude to get a read on as far as personality, very cool and mellow guy, doesn't rock the boat, seems loved by his teammates judging by shirts and jokes, just an ideal 2nd pairing guy, steady...him and Gavrikov were unstoppable until Gavy's knee injury, now they're a little shaky on that side, he ideally needs someone a little faster and better with the puck particularly as both dudes get older.

Zellweger, Mintyukov we got him covered.. something like

Fowler Luneau
Mintyukov Roy
Zellweger Gudas

If Hronek is stuck on $7M+, I’d easily replace him with Roy and trade Hronek for a package.

They should be looking to upgrade the RD. Ideally they could get both signed for reasonable numbers.

 

[majormajor]

I could easily see Roy getting $6.5m long term.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

I don't know that I'd like him on a top pairing long-term, Hughes def. would cover the mobility/puck moving but I'm not sure. Could be wrong.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

I do except the Leafs to revamp the rest of their defense and I could see him as a target.

 

[Grinner]

San Jose ought to be in the bidding
He plays a position of need and the Sharks have plenty of space under the cap to offer up a competitive+ deal

 

[dgibb10]

And what would stop whoever you try to to sell hronek to from doing the same?

The Sharks aren't going to be doing anything for 4-5 years, the only contract they should be targeting this summer is Carey Price. Roy is 29 and turns 30 in just under a year. He will be on the decline before San Jose has any playoff asperations

So what? The Sharks need to bring in uound talent to shore up the D. Roy isn't someone you hope develops in a few years.

 

[dugg133]

Something like 6x6mil, maybe more depending on how crazy the bidding war for him gets.

But like half the league is in need of quality RHD, and he's the best one available in the first summer where everyone finally has cap space again. He's gonna get PAID.

 

[Gliff]

Hoping he takes a discount to stay in Southern California.

He is a perfect fit for the Ducks.

Then look for someone younger, committing 6+ years to Roy is just horrible management of your cap space

 

[Sendhelp2Anaheim]

Then look younger, committing 6+ years to Roy is just horrible management of your cap space

I feel like sharks are more in a space where they can find cap dumps for picks/prospects to fill in spots right now.

exactly. They're just bottoming out now, they are where the Ducks were in 2020. You don't start buying until the team starts turning the corner

 

[Ghetty Green]

Prime, two-way, Right shot d man.

Highest Bidder - 6m per
Ideally - 5.5m per

Zellweger, Mintyukov we got him covered.. something like

Fowler Luneau
Mintyukov Roy
Zellweger Gudas

A Mintyukov-Roy pairing would be impressive

 

[Juxtaposer]

Then look for someone younger, committing 6+ years to Roy is just horrible management of your cap space

Who exactly is this younger UFA we should be targeting?

The Sharks need a real top-4 defensemen. We cannot go through another season with seven #5-7D and saddling Mukhamadullin with a terrible partner is not the way to develop him.
