<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>VGKNation702</b></div><div>I’ve heard this every season on this site lol. Good players have a market. Teams don’t care about “helping Vegas”. If it’s a player they think is better for their team a bidding war starts. Patches hasn’t been anything since he left, as well as coghlan. Let’s talk about how Smith fetched a 3rd or Haula for Roy. What about Gusev for a 2nd and 3rd lol</div></div>
Well, Vegas has also been burned on more than a couple deals. But who hasn’t? What I find impressive is that Brendan Brisson is the first 1st round prospect that they haven’t traded away. I don’t know who else among their prospect Pool is ready to be promoted. It doesn’t look like you have much left that is NHL ready right now.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CoachCoach</b></div><div>That is fine, in my opinion this is the difference between a guy like Roy and a guy like Fabbri. Fabs is a good player, FO% is great, nearly 20 goals, compete.....but has the injury history (non-existent this year) and is deemed a "dump." Meanwhile his contact is fine as most players this off-season will be overpaid and for long term, whereas he is only sitting at 4M (or 2 if retention) for just next season, limiting the risk. If he gets hurt again, LTIR.

Roy on the other hand is a bargain at 3M, and is secure at that hit for more than one season. That value far exceeds what will be comparably found in FA. In THIS situation, I don't care if it helps Vegas because it ultimately benefits me (speaking as that team).</div></div>
I just don’t expect teams to get into a bidding war over Vegas’s players. They may put up offers, but I don’t think they’ll be eager to beat one another and raise the price. Unless they see that guy as a must have, I just don’t see it.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>VGKNation702</b></div><div>Roy makes 3. Plays up and down the lineup. Plus we’d get better offers</div></div>
You’ll have to hope for a bidding war for his services. Personally, I hope no one wants to help you. And frankly, there’s no reason they should. Everyone knows eventually if no one offers anything you like it will force your hand. Kind of like when you had to include Coghlan with Pacioretty to move that contract, and got basically nothing back. The trouble you have is that most teams in the league don’t exactly have a lot of money lying around, and most would need a cash in and cash out kind of deal. I think you may be disappointed with what you actually get back in return for Roy, and what else they will have to do to be cap compliant for next season.
