CB007 Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Everyone is talking about how he wasn't having a good year in Dallas... 22 points in 30 games isn't a good year? That's 3rd on our team behind the Twins... He was fine in Dallas and he will be fine here. Now we just need to re-sign him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashian Kassian Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Not only did he have 22pts in 30 games. He was given defensive zone starts because Dallas was doing some sheltering of their own, according to PITB. And he was still a plus 3 in a team of mostly minuses. His possession numbers have been good. His playoffs numbers in the past have been average. Together with Hank and Kesler, I'm sure we will be very competitive down the middle in the PO. Add to that we have NO playmaking C's after Hank, Roy surely will be a welcomed addition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frazzY Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Lol we almost got Clowe, he CHOSE the rags. We also never overpaid for anyone and still have our first round pick. We made it to the finals with majority of the team we have today. Obvious troll is obvious.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerWilliams Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 It was great to see a real centre out there for a change. What a difference he made to the rush and the defensive zone coverage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vansicle Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 He did prove you wrong. The team desperately needed what they lacked in depth. A centerman, not another goddamned winger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogbyte Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 So you have no idea who the player is, how good he will do, what his strengths are, or what he'll in the playoffs, and you created a thread why? I used to think you were just a bad troll but now ... no you're just clueless and have access to the internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WolfxHaley Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 New NHL. No defense. Buffalo dominant. Last two playoffs: 7gp 0g 3a 1career-altering injury. However, he wasn't 3rd string like he is here. The addition of Roy ties into the return of SuperKesler. So I certainly hope this 'Make Kesler his wing' talk wasn't serious. Because that would be a total waste. Once in awhile only, please. Roll three lines that can score and behold! Goals! Takes the pressure off one particular line to do the offensive work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aqua59 Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Not knowing much about Roy who before going to Dallas was an Eastern player. I don't follow the East let alone Buffalo save for Boston & Pittsburgh. I've always heard the name Derek Roy but attributed his point production to Eastern style of play i.e Less travel, grind & physicality thus easier to score. He gets traded to Dallas and suffers a scoring drought. Most of his points coming in way from assists. He becomes expendable due to UFA and so-so average play in Dallas. The Canucks trade for him at the deadline. Initially I'm content because I was under the impression he was not the only player we were to acquire. Then I do a little more research and find out he's only 5'9 tall. Talk about small... This guy better put up points in the PLAYOFFS. I don't care if he puts up sick regular seasons numbers. We got this guy for the PLAYOFFS. I have a 6th sense that Roy is going to get manhandled easily come playoffs. Roy alone is such a WTF move. What we needed is Clowe & (2 goals in 1st game with Rangers), Torres, Chimera, Jagr, Pominville. Not just Mr. Derek 5'9 Roy. Hey while we're why don't we go for Steve Sullivan & Matthew Lombardi eh... I hope Gillis knows what he's doing. I want him to prove me wrong. I see this Roy rental trade as completely suspect.
