Did you lose track of who we are discussing in, what, 3 posts?!
I imagine he has roughly the same value Stetcher did. We could package him in the draft to move up to a team that's more in need of an experienced defenseman.
No. The reason to move Walker is to clear the roster spot for younger players who can do what he does for cheaper, and maybe better.
To me solid defense Roy plays is overrated.I think Walker should be moved if possible. Way too much talent on the right side now. Walker's game was already downtrending as well.
I think they need to show Roy video of his 140 shots (only scored one, when he was close to the net and that was good) and that 139 of them
he was like a robot, that instantly and automatically shot a 0.0000% percentage shot, averaging 62 mph from an average of 52 feet from the goal. The video will show on all 139 shots, that he had tunnel vision and did not once notice that 85% of the time, he had a good pass option of an open teammate.
Out of 139 of these shots, all were easily stopped by the goalie and there were probably less than 5 rebounds. These 139 instances, the play would have continued, by passing to an open teammate - and every one of them had more talent to do something better.
Yes, this has nothing to do with the solid defense he plays and his value to the team. But he's killed more offense, than anyone on the team,
by almost 100% of the time he gets the puck, he chooses this as his #1 option and almost has a 100% failure rate.
I don’t know how most of that will play out. But I’m in a Sean Walker discussion, and he’s the easiest piece dealt with in the puzzle.

If Matt Roy killed offense like you suggested, then the Kings should not be scoring goals when he's on the ice, right? Yet he has as high a Goals For per 60 minutes played at even strength as everyone's golden boy, Sean Durzi. What Roy does do effectively is kill opponents' offense.I think Walker should be moved if possible. Way too much talent on the right side now. Walker's game was already downtrending as well.

The Kings coaching staff and management disagrees.
Rank the following players in goals for per 60 minutes over the past three seasons at even strength:I think Walker should be moved if possible. Way too much talent on the right side now. Walker's game was already downtrending as well.

Roy is a solid dman which isn't up for debate.
I think you just play Durzi on the left side with Doughty and not worry about the left hand right hand thing. It's been done with Durzi and Walker. A Durzi-Doughty pairing has been really successful (6 goals for, 2 goals against in 50 minutes), but only employed when the Kings are behind and need goals.
