His decision making defensively seemed slow and that he'd be reacting late to plays when I saw him instead of actively attempting to dictate the play with the opposing forwards like we see most of the time with D-men. There was not a lot progression on his play from his draft year to this year in that regard, which I think was the reason why they moved on.
I have nothing against Roy as a player and hope he puts it together eventually. Converting him to a forward might not be a bad idea either as he does have some skill.
