I think Roy is just a cosmetic move to appease the fans. Almost like Messier would be if the Rangers totally bombed this year, failed miserably and the fans were out for blood. There would be nowhere to go but up and he probably wouldn't tarnish his image as the Messiah if things didn't work out. This is a team with some real talent and a realistic chance to go deep next season, it wouldn't be fair to put Messier in a spot like this. Remember what a disaster Bryan Trottier was? Many Rangers fans were happy to see him go down in flames, it would be much harder to swallow if that happened to Mess.
