I don't think anyone else is expecting a fifth round pick to have "superstar-type numbers". As you say he is obviously capable offensively which is what got him drafted in the first place and his defensive short-comings were the reason he fell to the fifth round. If he's being signed to an ELC I'd imagine Flames brass have seen enough improvement or potential in his defensive game to merit this move and I'm confident they've spent a lot more time than you or I watching him.

I'm upset they signed Roy, he has all kinds of problems in his own end and should've waited a year to see weather we wan to waste a contract on him for 3 years. He could turn out to be something really special. But I doubt it.
I hope Gordon gets a shot somewhere else

He's a fifth round pick, no one is expecting him to perform at superstar level in any way a year after the draft

So... is he 'Roy' as in Patrick Roy, or 'Roy' as in Derek Roy?

English Roy. Not Francophone Roy.

they didn't sign him, they just offered him a contract (probably league minimum ELC). If they didn't, they would have lost his rights. See getbaks post on the first page.
Darren Haynes @DarrenWHaynes
Same thing happened last year with Coda Gordon, Flames made offer by June 1 to maintain rights. He rejected the offer but never got another.
Darren Haynes @DarrenWHaynes
Last year, Gordon, Culkin and Kulak as 2012 picks all got bonafide offers by June 1. Each rejected it. Only Culkin/Kulak got another offer.
Darren Haynes @DarrenWHaynes
Often players such as Coda Gordon will reject the initial offer for league minimum, hoping a better contract will come. This time it didn't.

Can't imagine what kind of bozo agent would tell a 6th round draft pick to reject ANY contract offer.

I agree, very odd that they announced it.

8.6 Reserve List-Exclusive Rights.
(a) Commencing with the 2013 Entry Draft, a Player selected by a Club in the Entry Draft shall be registered on the Reserve List of the selecting Club as an "Unsigned Draft Choice."
(i) Subject to the provisions of Sections (b), (c), (d) and (e) below, such registration shall establish for such selecting Club the exclusive right of negotiation for the services of each Player selected and registered as against all other Clubs up to and including June 1 of the next calendar year following the date of his selection.
(ii) Subject to the provisions of subsection (iii) below and Sections (b), (c) and (d) below, if, on or before June 1 of the calendar year next succeeding the Entry Draft, the claiming Club makes a Bona Fide Offer (as defined below) to its claimed Player of an SPC, the Club shall retain the exclusive right of negotiation for the services of such Player up to and including the second June 1 following the date of his selection.

If they had not made a bona fide offer, he would have been removed from the Flames' reserve list.
Roy was the only player drafted last year who they were required to give a bona fide offer. Monahan, Poirier, Klimchuk, and Kanzig are already signed. Harrison and Gilmour are College students, and Rafikov is a European player so the three of them didn't require a bona fide offer to remain Flames property.
The offer is likely a bare minimum ELC, so he might not want to sign it. If he doesn't sign it, he'll still remain Flames property until June 1, 2015. |
That is a new provision in the CBA, as shown by the line "Commencing with the 2013 Entry Draft".
If the Flames had not made an offer would have he re-entered the draft? Or would have he become a UFA? Because it just states we would have lost exclusive negotiating rights.

The 2005 CBA said the same thing (it said "2005", but otherwise the wording is exactly the same).
The only change I could see is that European players are now a team's property for 4 years without requiring a bona fide offer after one year.

So just because they offered a contract, he can stay Flames property for another year even if he refuses the offer?
Thanks for the article PMM, I feel a lot better about Roy knowing he's working hard to improve, and the coaches he's working with now are just the ones to do it.

Yup. It's just like when teams give a pending RFA the required qualifying offer to maintain his RFA status. Very few players actually accept the QO because it is a bare-minimum offer, and they know they can usually negotiate a better deal with the team.

As I recall TJ Brodie was good offensively in junior but suspect defensively. Look how he turned out after a few years. I think it is easier to teach a defenseman in how to play defensively hockey than teaching them offensively. So I am very confident that if Eric Roy is willing to listen and learn, he'll be an average or more than average two-way defenseman. A few seasons in AHL will prepare him for the NHL.

That and our less than stellar defensive prospect pool mandates that we have to work with our picks to see if they can develop into nhl quality.
Still shaking my head why we didn't pick Ebert instead of Gordon. Could shoulda woulda.

That is a head scratcher for me as well.
Only thing would be if the 2 way contract offer was less than what the guy would make in Europe or the ECHL.

I guess with the change involving euros in the provision it would technically commence with the 2013 draft.
Also I always thought Bona Fide was 1 word, it seems like I am getting schooled today

Obviously guys, nobody is expecting a superstar-this is just a sarcastic way of illustrating my thoughts about his numbers being less than stellar for a guy with perceived defensive issues. I shouldn't have to explain that.

Most likely the offer was $35k/yr (lowest allowed by the CBA) in the AHL and no signing bonus.

Is it worth offering a contract to a player who wouldn't even crack your top 10 or 12 depth chart at his position?
Good luck to him anyway.
