I thought there were Roy rumors before free agency opened?
I am with you in wanting to see the blueline overhauled, but I wasn't a fan of a lot of contracts handed out. For all of the complaining about Compher, Chiarot, Copp, etc., I think Roy and Pesce stand good chances at being blueline versions of them. And I think the big appeal to Trouba is that his term was limited and we could get out of the deal in a couple of years.
I can't say Roy or Pesce look to be difference makers in upgrading our blueline to the point of seriously increasing our odds at the playoffs, and I really like not having those contracts on our books for another 5+ years.
