Olivier Roy will be an easy guy to dump in Alaska to ensure more playing time for Ortio. His RFA status is nice as it opens up room for Gillies next year if he turns pro. I think taking Roy was a favour to the Oilers to get rid of a contract and open up a goalie roster spot for Broissoit. I'd be shocked if Roy lasts longer than the season with the Flames. His stats are nothing to write home about: http://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/p...php?pid=106601

Also losing Smid and acquiring Horak makes the smurfy Oilers even smaller.
