just get ryan or perron and i'm happy
- gerbe75pts

I want Ryan and foligno (nick). Then I'll be quenched.

Roy's ice time was also diminished. This team is a far better one with him not being on it, period.

Hard to say that when they havent played this season. They do go on to make the playoffs, it will be easy for people like you, Roy haters to say "see I told you so". The Sabres remain the same or get worse and dont make the playoffs, it will be easy for people like me, pro-Roy to say "see I told you so".

Vanek .42 goals per game
Briere .46

we need more games...

ok

vanek 20 points in 36 playoff games

briere 109 points in 108 playoff games


better?

Well, not really. Depends on how you look at it.

numbers are the only thing that never lies

Not trying to troll here aha

What do Sabres fans think of this deal? To me it looks like your top two centers are going to be Grigs and Hodgson....

Are you guys happy with it? I know Roy had a down year, but trading him for Steve Ott?

The price for Ryan will go up, we should move.

Bottom line is, with Roy as the "kingpin", they've made the playoffs twice in 5 years, one of them he had absolutely nothing to do with except for the formality of a game 7 that was never in doubt. This year, when they made a run and fell short, Ennis' line did most of the heavy lifting, and Hodgson started to get more and more responsibility and Roy less and less. That's when they started to improve.

Roy is no longer a Sabre. Buffalo already won this trade.

I dont think roy was the problem, I dont think roy is the solution

IMO I watched a lot of effort by Roy where the wingers were nowhere to be seen

Kinda like when max was buried on the 4th line and skating one on 4 with the other 4 sabres on the other side of the red line

If I had to put vanek and roy under the microscope, vanek is the player that holds them down more, esp given its a cap era

The consensus here is that Steve Ott is such a physical imposing player that they are going to win the Stanley Cup via forfeits. We have become a mean and nasty team to play against. John Scott, Kaleta, McCormick, Steve Ott.... (frank)in old time hockey.

And Vanek is going to score like 65 goals this year because Roy was his problem and now that the cancer has been removed from the team, Vanek will win league MVP.

Different mindset. Out with negative intangiables, in with positive ones. You'll see. 6 times next season.

thats not like you


- homiedclown

Its not, but enough is enough. I have been hearing the same lame arguments about Roy for over 2 years now. Hes gone and I couldnt be happier. I hope I dont have to hear about him anymore after the initial wave of comments right now.

Sayonara to the stat sheet hero.

When players go off the record saying "we're going to go on a run now" and then make good on it, when the news comes out that he's done for the year, he's much closer to the problem than the solution.

ott brings what the team is lacking

ennis will also be a top line center

the team is better moving forward if coho takes the next step and the wingers produce

I feel the same way I felt when Connolly left and signed with the leafs

must have you confused with someone else
- keptupl8

Are you saying we all look alike? Racist!

Miro Satan was the Sabres leading scorer at one point (I think).

Players on the team went to Ruff and Regeir and said to get him off the team. And look what happened. Addition by subtraction.

I am going to believe that Ruff and Regeir knew what they were doing here today...

Problem is, the stuff we can't see or didn't see with Roy is what made him expendable and a cancer.

It goes way beyond "just a down year" with Roy. He isn't liked around town, he parties like crazy and has even been seen out around town on night's that they've lost badly. Management and coaching have gotten sick of him and even his teammates can't stand him.

It's all part of Regier's effort to get bigger, meaner and tougher to play against.

When players go off the record saying "we're going to go on a run now" and then make good on it, when the news comes out that he's done for the year, he's much closer to the problem than the solution.

perhaps

we do not know what goes on in the locker room

I am not a fan of roy off of the ice, and of course pleased with the result moving forward
