Honestly, im not too sure i want to get rid of Stafford yet.

I will personally buy Roy a one way ticket to Moscow, where he can got in the KHL. If stafford doesnt produce after Roy is gone, well, then he can go too.

I'm open for a team to take Roy for draft picks at this point.

Roy is still a serviceable player to the right team. He's on a great contract for the amount of production he gives, or gave in the past and has one year left on it. I'm sure if we dangle him out there and listen to offers, he can get a return of a decent player and a draft pick, if not at least 3 draft picks. No first rounders, but at least a 2nd or two of them and a 5th.

Or even a first if it's all they would offer up.

Stafford on the other hand is an unmovable piece at 4 million a year. Unless we accept our losses and buy him out, or waive the bastard. Whatever would be cheaper do it. Waive or buy-out.

You know, I can't lie...I wanted to re-sign Stafford too. BUT, not for 4 mil! I remember posting several times over the summer that I thought he was worth about 2.8 mil. He'd still be tanking for that price, but at least he'd be tradeable right now. For 4 years at 4 mil per I think the best Regier can get is a 4th rd pick. If Stafford picks up his stats by Feb 27 maybe he can fetch a 3rd.

I wish we could upgrade the center position while keeping Roy, but it seems like the rebuild would be further and Roy's contract will be up by then. May as well trade him but Sky, he won't get that much. I think Roy will get a 2nd rd pick and a prospect, maybe...MAYBE a late 1st rd pick from a Cup contender that needs a late boost. Not sure any current Cup contenders need a 2nd/3rd center like Roy though.

I wonder if anyone thinks Hecht is worth re-signing for a year at around 2.5 mil. If Roy gets traded we'll be down to Adam and Gaustad as real centers for next season. Even drafting Galchenyuk or someone better wouldn't make the position much stronger as a whole. Keeping Hecht at a lower cost (I can't imagine he'd get the same 3.5 mil offer from another team) might be necessary.

Hecht is playing solid. Always liked the guy. Hope he retires a Sabre.

Yea that is the main thing about our team, if we ship Roy, we need a center in return for him.
