Roy very well may outscore Wilson over the next few years, but I doubt it will be by much. I also know that Wilson will provide an element to the team that Roy will never be able to match, while being far cheaper with at least 4 more years of team control vs. 1.
Wilson holds more value than Derek Roy right now for those reasons. I like Roy. I have been a huge supporter of bringing him to the Predators, but dealing Wilson for him, not to mention adding more, is lunacy and a coup for the Sabres.

Who do you value more Wilson or Craig Smith?
