Mode - plafond salarial: Basique

Mark Pysyk had a strong season for FLA last year, but has fallen off a little this year. He's only 26, on a good contract and would be pretty ideal for ANA as a top 4 guy this season, allowing Fowler to take more of an offensive role by reducing his baby-sitting duties because of Bieksa, and then could slide into that RD position on the 3rd pairing next season:

Lindholm - Montour
Fowler - Manson
Larsson - Pysyk

Not sure about price. It's probably overkill with Roy in the deal. I'm just not sure how attached FLA is to Pysyk.

Welinkski = NHL ready offensive RD stuck behind a deep defensive core. Would be a good addition to any team. Not the biggest or most physical guy, but a good skater with a great shot. Just needs a chance now and that probably isn't happening in ANA.

Roy = NHL ready LW/RW. Again, just needs an opportunity and I don't see that happening in ANA. We have too many similar players in Kase, Cogs, Brown, etc. Scored 6 goals and 7 pts in 25 games for the big club, with most of those coming later on in his stint. He's visibly improved whilst being with the team. Hence, I'm sure most other Duck fans won't want to move him. However, whilst I think Roy has a great NHL career ahead of him, I just don't think it's with ANA.

Would rather add Roy to the deal to keep the pick low personally, but others may be willing to give up a 2nd to keep Roy out the deal.

Thoughts?
