Brian Costello thinks there is a good chance that Roy gets picked up in the 2015 draft:

Perhaps the most prominent name on the back-in-the-draft list is fifth-year Brandon defenseman Eric Roy. The Calgary Flames selected Roy 135th overall in 2013, even though some scouting outlets had him projected in the second round. THN Draft Preview had him rated 54th overall that year, with one scout saying “If you just look at skills, he’d be a slam-dunk first round pick. He’s a really smooth, slick-skating defenseman. But he is wildly inconsistent.” Roy’s most productive WHL season was the year before he was drafted when he had 11 goals and 53 points. He followed that up with seasons of 39, 44 and 45 points (finishing with 200 WHL career points from the blueline), but struggled at times in his own end.
There’s a good chance some NHL team drafts Roy in the later rounds hoping he can refine his game after a few seasons in the AHL.
