RazielSabre Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 Darcy was having so much trouble moving Roy, can't blame him for this trade. Glad to see Sabres in the headlines, could be a worse trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eleven Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 That is why you don't trade Roy for Ott straight up. Because you can get a LITTLE more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FolignosJock Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 I am so happy right now I cannot even believe it. Woohoo! I dont like Roy either but this is terrible, we lost in this trade, why are you all so happy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thesportsbuff Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 Meh. Happy to see Ott a Sabre, but I think I'd still take a healthy, 70 point Roy instead. Surprised we couldn't get more for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Aud Smell Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 also: it's sort of weird how the stars traded away riberio (about whom i know nothing) at the draft for a prospect and a second rounder. at the time, i thought to myself -- is that good or bad for the sabres? since that deal appeared to show (1) you could get a decent/good nhl center for not too terribly much, but (2) that the market for d. roy could be correspondingly thin. http://www.youtube.com/atch?v=pM8QA5ZX6fI were you saving that one? if so, it was worth hanging onto.

That Aud Smell Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 Tell me about Pardy. Is he useful for is he this year's Morrison? i know nothing. but, seeing his GP last year (~35) and his cap hit ($2M), it is reasonable to infer that we were taking back salary with pardy. thorough-looking write-up on pardy as a late season whipping boy in dallas is here: http://www.defendingbigd.com/2012/3/23/2895749/pardy-whipping-boy-dallas-stars- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sabres1970 Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 Is Ott that much better than Roy? Is the benefit of this trade being that we got rid of a locker room cancer or is Ott filling a true position of need? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trettioåtta Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 Not sure how i feel about this trade, Pardy is clearly a nothing throw in; if anything we are taking salary back? I might be one of the few, but i will miss Roy - i have only been a hockey fan for 6 years, so this is one of the first guys i got to watch grow with the sabres. I feel sad for him, simply because of he had the Ryan syndrome of always being sent the other way, but never once complained. I hope Roy has an awesome time and rebounds in Dallas. I hope Ott can get more points than Goose this year and is a force on the PK/defensively. At least he seems to have a good attitude. It is also the first time in a while we have a had a prototypical 3rd line centre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard rumors of this trade, all I can say is :worthy: :worthy: :worthy: Darcy Regier. Good job for getting it done. BTW, my mothers maiden name was Ott. She passed away some time ago, I may get a jersey with Ott and her year of birth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabres1970 Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 :lol: Ott is filling the position of Not-Derek-Roy. I mean what does he do that's worth trading a guy we could have used to get Ryan? does he win face offs? Does he make plays? All I know is we need offense and as of now I don't get how Ott will help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Aud Smell Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 Ott is filling the position of Not-Derek-Roy. i believe that ott is filling the position of the concept of paul gaustad. could darcy be done with this one? will he go into camp with his nhl centers being hodgson, ennis, ott, and mccormick? (i am leaving grigor out of it.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwksndmonster Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 I'm giving Weave all the credit for this trade. Darcy needs to show some respect and publicly reward Weave for ridding the Sabres of Derek Roy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DerekRoyforPres Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 I think I would have liked a 2nd + Roy for Ribero (although he is kind of a clown) + Ott. Too bad Wash got him for a 2nd. I also do not understand why Dallas trades Ribero only to put up Roy, other than Ribero is 1mil more a year. I will say this, the only time I ever saw Ott play in person was his only career hat trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
