Former NHL player and TV analyst Alan May thinks the Toronto Maple Leafs should sign defenseman Matt Roy. On Friday's "First Up with Korolnek & Colaiacovo" podcast, May said that Roy would be a perfect fit for the team, especially as a right-handed defenseman.
Roy signed a six-year $34.5 million contract with the Washington Capitals last summer. He is known for his strong defensive play and not flashy offense. Roy has one goal, four assists and a +5 rating this season. His simple but effective style makes him a valuable player.
"Toronto Maple Leafs, you know they'd really help themselves with one more right-handed defenseman, in my opinion," May said. "And Matt Roy is a perfect defensive defenseman. He's got all the underlying numbers; he passes all the eye tests. He's very physical. He skates very well. He moves the puck. He's a simple player to add so much to the team."
