Roy isn't worth $1M.. they essentially flipped him into the line-up for a pro-rated $400k rather than $1M. Considering Arcobello would likely lose his ice time with Roy's inclusion, no use keeping him around unless you think he has a future. The Oilers finally realized he didn't.

Most of this thread has been about how Edmonton could send Drasaitl down if they acquired another center. They gave one of their 3 centers away for another center a team was willing to get rid of for free.
