He has size, he has mobility, he has a booming shot, he can hit -- he just needs to work on his positioning and coverage in the defensive zone. He was a project when he was drafted and he's progressed pretty well. I'm not sure the Flames are in the position to turn away 6'3" d-men like Roy. To Roy's credit, he has shown great determination and even if the Flames don't recognize it I'm sure someone will.

I agree with everything you've said. He seems to have all the tools needed to improve his overall game (including defensive aspects). He also seems to have the right mindset moving forward.
