Roy's another overpaid for what he's bringing to the table. 5.75m x 6 seems like an awful lot of $$ to just be a decent blueliner. Maybe all the salaries for "decent" play are going up and I just haven't paid attention..

Roy is the type of solid plus guy you need on the blue line, even if he's not a big hitter.  I think this was an excellent pickup by the FO, as was Chychrun.  I love what Chychrun brings to the table with his skating and scoring ability but he's also just a year or two removed from a -30 season.  So, if you have guys like him, you need guys like Roy to even things out.  Frankly, the weakest link on the current defense corps is Carlson.  He's slow and the number of times he turns the puck over in our own end is pretty frightening.
