Yeah...I feel so bad for him.


But...yes, I'd trade him for Plekanec in a heartbeat.

2nd!!!

EDIT:
Roy acts and plays the way he does because he's been allowed to get away with it. The blame for that falls directly on Lindy, the rest of the coaching staff and to a lesser degree, Darcy. He's been rumored to be in "Lindy's Doghouse" many times since he's been a full-time Sabre. Though, somehow, he's managed to stick around. I don't hate many players, let alone any Sabres, but he's really getting close. I'm tired of him acting like a high school or travel team player when there's an offside called against him and his linemates - the whining, the stick swinging, etc.

You're in your mid to late 20s, Derek. It's time to start acting like it.

I don't know what the Sabres expect to get in return for Roy but with the way he and his team are playing I wouldn't expect a great return. Just my opinion no need to crucify me.

Right, he works so hard and isn't getting what he deserves out there.

I'd trade him for... anything.

How can TSN say Boyes is a sought after for trades. That guy is a ghost.

Why in the world would MTL trade their best all around forward for a one dimensional tiny guy who's not scoring and apparently isn't well liked?

I think most of us will agree with you. That being said, his stats say that he could still be a 60 to 70pt guy in this league. For $4 million that's pretty good.

This would be more of a surgical procedure than a trade.

If I was a GM for a different team, I'd be targeting Gaustad, Roy and hecht as rental players. Boyes wouldn't be on my radar at all.

Hence he's being "sought after". Can't find the dude.

Everybody heard about his trade to Buffalo, but yet there's no proof that he actually steps on the ice.

your idiocy never ceases to amaze me. there is no chance in hell we get Plakenec in return; you obviously aren't aware of how this all works

I find it weird that he didn't attempt block the shot. He naturally throws himself to the ice in pretty much all situations...

To be fair to Roy, Ruff's golden boy Pominville made the exact same play on the PK against Chicago, which led to a point shot and rebound for a goal. That being said, Roy still sucks!

If the chatter about Derek Roy and the Montreal Canadiens is true, then the Sabres better get Tomas Plekanec back in return. One team's struggling centre for the other team's struggling centre.

That's why he fits in with the Sabres, our whole team is a ghost. Just wait until Saturday it will be like trick or treat without it being Halloween.
