I agree that Roy was just a throw-in on the trade from the Flames' perspective, but he has been playing well in Alaska, so if Burke can move MacDonald, I doubt they'd complain about Roy being Ortio's backup. He was in the Oilers' "development" system, so he might end up being a diamond in the rough.

I don't know what their agreement with Alaska is, so they might be required to provide a goalie as part of the partnership.
