I doubt he's re-signed.

I agree that he was a throw-in and that they probably won't re-sign him, but I think it wouldn't hurt to give him a chance in the AHL anyway ... would make more sense than MacDonald, who is 100 percent done with the Flames after that season (or earlier through a trade) in any case. Who knows what Roy could do if given a chance and put in the right situation. Would probably be tough to find a spot for him if Gillies turns pro, but if not, he'd be nice to have in Abby.
