Rumor: Mirtle and Seigel: Offers for Matt Roy could reach 6 million AAV, Leafs interested

[Wallet Inspector]

As a Sens fan I'd give him 6.5 mil/yr if that's what it takes to get him.

 

[cheesymc]

Leafs can sign Roy and Zadorov for both over 6 million.

 

[Mark Stones Spleen]

Staios plz

 

[GIN ANTONIC]

here is a good write up about him 2023 Kings Seasons In Review – Matt Roy - LA Kings Insider

Us Kings fans like him a lot, but not at $6 million. UFA RHD get a premium for sure.

Thank you - will check that out!

I’d be happy to have him at 6…better spent on him than Domi or Bertuzzi

And we’d still need to sign another d from that tier at similar money.

 

[Devilsfan118]

Not really if it’s longer term the cap going up makes it much more attractive in years 2, 3 and 4.

A lot of people don’t get this concept and a salary like Nylander’s will look like a steal not long from now if he continues at his current level of play or even dips a bit.

In what reality will 11M+ ever look like a steal lol

Cap isn't about to double here in 5 years.

Dumbass Blake should have traded Roy at the deadline.

I like Roy, he does quite a few things really well, but man, some fans are going to lose their shit when their $6 million dollar defenseman is just clueless in front of his own net while not generating any offense

With the cap savings from the PLD trade LA has cap to resign Roy (on a hometown contract) , if he is looking for more he'll have to move on, would any team trade a 3-4 round pick to get a jump and be able to offer an 8 year?

I think 8 year contract can only be done with the team that the player was at the TDL, it changed couple of years ago.

I’m still pissed LA didn’t trade him at the deadline. Obviously they were a first round exit in the playoffs and Spence and Clarke ready to play big roles. Blake being a dumbass per usual.

I'm sorry, but as a Flames fan I can say that a lot of smoke with fire absolutely nowhere to be seen is what Tre is all about.

For a while I was excited that Tre always seemed to work the phones to make big trades or UFA signings, but realized later that in the end he just ended up trading 3rd round pick for a bottom pairing D at the deadline.

But he doesn't really have a choice here.

He has to get 2 D men

He's got 2 top 6 forwards potentially walking out the door in Domi and Bertuzzi

plus He only has 1 goalie under contract and Joseph Woll, while extremely talented is also extremely injury prone.

He has to do something

Roy would be the best right shot dman the Leafs have had in the Matthews era... Sad to say. But a guy who can skate and can move the puck better than just putting it off the boards and out on the right side is a good fit for us.

Would likely make a 2nd pair with McCabe which would be likely our shutdown pair again. Not sure how physical he is but McCabe is very physical so might be a good fit there.

Would still need a guy to play with Rielly (Tanev maybe?). Could potentially let Domi and Bertuzzi walk, sign both of those guys, and still have 10-11M left for a 1B goalie and a forward.

The Leafs have $18.9M available.

Signing Roy at $6M would leave them at $12.9M with 2-3 forwards, 1-2 dmen and 1 goalie to sign.

How would signing Tanev leave them with $10-11M?

Not true (unless it's a sign and trade).

I think they would give term to Tanev and get him around 4x5 with the intention of LTIRetirement near the end. So 10M for those two dmen.

Leafs are going to go prospect heavy up front this season. Likely the core 4 (unless a random Marner trade happens) and all inexperienced guys. McMann, Knies, Robertson, Cowan, Minten, Holmberg playing key roles. I think they move Kampf and sign Dewar cheaper.

Those moves and a 21 man roster should let them add a goalie and a more vet forward (or another dman if we find a lot of fits)
