Fair unbiased proposal. Considering most Leafs fans offer Engvall and a 4th for Roy I'd say this is the best one yet.
Alot of Leafs fans who don't watch Kings games are saying Roy is nothing but a 3rd pair guy. I used to think that until this season. He was splitting last year between the 2nd pair and 3rd pair and got easier minutes while Doughty got all the tough ice time. Now Roy has been on the 2nd pair and killing it every night(before his injury) playing with an OFD in Clague and he was a +4 I believe while every other dman was a minus.
Roy is better than Bogo in every single aspect. PK, PP, even strength, offensively, shot blocking, and just as if not more physical. So I don't know that that one guy was talking about lol. Roy is a 30+ point defenseman in Toronto.
Until this season, I wrote Kempe off as a 3rd liner. He played in the top 6 towards the end of last season and he's been in the top 6 all year so far. He's having what looks like it will be a career high in points and he's more consistent and better in every area. I have no doubt he will be a 1LW to Byfield in the near future.
All that being said, that is a great and unbiased return(probably the best I've seen from a Leafs fan) but considering the importance of Roy and Kempe and everything I've stated about them. I personally would decline this trade.
Very good proposal though, I just don't think its a good idea to trade those guys at this time.
