An offersheet at 4.2m gets it done. Vegas can’t match. Could do the same with hauge if wanted too

I'm not sure if VGK would match that because it might be a tad rich for where he currently is but I do think they *could* match. Basically the three remaining RFAs that need to be signed are Roy, Hague and Kolesar. Hague is not arbitration eligible and Kolesar should come in somewhere in the $1m-$1.5m range. When you factor in Weber's ($7,857,143) and Nolan Patrick's ($1,200,000) salary that can both be placed on LTIR that would leave VGK with $7,662,500 to spend on the three RFA players. There are also rumors that Robin Lehner ($5m) may not be available for the start of the season so that would give even more cushion if necessary. This is the whole reason that the Pacioretty happened when it did, because they knew they needed some protection from offer sheets on Roy or Hague.

As for what VGK would want in return for Roy, I'm not sure. My guess is that they would prefer to do everything possible to make things work out in regards to signing him and if an offer sheet comes around that they're unwilling to match then they would just take the 2nd round compensation. Realistically I think that if someone wanted to sign him for $4m then Vegas wouldn't match, though I would guess that a bridge deal could get done between $2.5m-$3m. He has comps that would go higher but VGK having Chandler Stephenson at $2.75m probably gives the team some ability to push that range with Roy as well. Especially when you consider that Stephenson has been better thus far.

Boston can’t get him under the cap either so kind of pointless.
