From tsn.ca...

Linky-Poo

 

It's not Ottawa or Toronto :o , but early speculation is pointing to Pittsburgh being his likely destination.

 

Update... it's either Buffalo, Pittsburgh, or Montreal. Probably one of the first two. This could be an interesting day.

where is this "update" from? link?

 

Bob McKenzie via radio.

 

However, the TSN article has been revised and you can see that Pittsburgh is probably where Roberts is going. They seem to think Malone may be going the other way. (If true, then good call, Inkman) Malone would be way too much to give up for Roberts.

My question to whoever in Pittsburg that would be making this trade is, "Does two months of Roberts service outweigh the future of a power forward who could be a star in the making?"

 

It's not like the Penguins are actually going to compete for a cup this year. Their D just isn't good enough.

Regardless of whether we get Roberts, Malone, or anyone else, I object to the use of "Linky-poo".

I second that.

Why would we want a 40 year old guy on this team? Please, oh please don't bite on this one.

Maybe because he's won a cup and is a grizzled vet with a physical presence that the Sabres sorely need. :unsure:

Interesting new (?) info

 

On Monday, Roberts said he rescinded a request that whatever team Florida dealt him to needed to extend his contract by a year. Roberts also confirmed he wanted to be dealt to Ottawa or Toronto, but would go to Buffalo as well.

 

TSN is reporting no issues and that Roberts waived his clause for Pittsburgh. It's pretty much assumed he'll be going there for D-man Noah Welch (NOT Malone).
