spndnchz Posted April 9, 2012 Report Posted April 9, 2012 Bunch of info will be coming in today So far... Roy doesn't like Ruff calling out players publicly. Vanek says he's never asked to be favored. Hecht is crying. Myers foot is broken.

That Aud Smell Posted April 9, 2012 Report Posted April 9, 2012 i saw that hoppe tweeted that it "feels" like the end of d. roy in buffalo.
spndnchz Posted April 9, 2012 Author Report Posted April 9, 2012 Myers saying it is a "player" not coaching issue.
SwampD Posted April 9, 2012 Report Posted April 9, 2012 Myers saying it is a "player" not coaching issue. Says the guy with 6 years left on his contract...
DR HOLLIDAY Posted April 9, 2012 Report Posted April 9, 2012 Myers saying it is a "player" not coaching issue. I wonder what players he is referring to.
nobody Posted April 9, 2012 Report Posted April 9, 2012 Currently Sabres site only post a non-controversial interview. Can Terry Pegula get Gary Roberts to train the entire team? Buffalo Sabres @BuffaloSabres WATCH: Hodgson speaks with media during locker room clean-out day. http://video.sabres.nhl.com/videocenter/console?hcatid=668&id=171087
TrueBlueGED Posted April 9, 2012 Report Posted April 9, 2012 Don't forget that it's also Dyngus Day!!!! Any bets on whether Derek Roy is the chaser or the chasee? ;)
Punch Posted April 9, 2012 Report Posted April 9, 2012 Bill Hoppe @BillHoppeNHL #Sabres Thomas Vanek STILL wouldn't give up his injury-injuries! #Buffalo Bill Hoppe @BillHoppeNHL #Sabres Give Vanek credit -- he didn't want to make excuses.
Iron Crotch Posted April 9, 2012 Report Posted April 9, 2012 i saw that hoppe tweeted that it "feels" like the end of d. roy in buffalo. I think moving Ennis to center (which I assume is permanent) and picking up Hodgson makes D. Roy very expendable. Three smallish centers is too many.

Three smallish centers is too many. i will grant you that hodgson is not a bruiser, but he's not smallish either. he's universally listed as 6' and ~185.
Punch Posted April 9, 2012 Report Posted April 9, 2012 Literally or figuratively? Literally, according to Bill Hoppe and John Vogl. Mike Harrington @BNHarrington Ehrhoff said knee was sprained. No surgery. Sounds like he would have missed first round too. Bill Hoppe @BillHoppeNHL #Sabres Christian Ehrhoff has a strain, would've missed the first round. #Buffalo
Robviously Posted April 9, 2012 Report Posted April 9, 2012 i saw that hoppe tweeted that it "feels" like the end of d. roy in buffalo. Good thing we didn't deal him at the deadline. :doh:
Punch Posted April 9, 2012 Report Posted April 9, 2012 A lot of interesting comments from Roy concerning his various injuries and Cody Hodgson regarding the difference in lockerroom in Buffalo and Vancouver (not the design or amenities, BTW) and also his training plans for the summer with Gary Roberts--- so far, the Hodgson stuff is the only thing I can deem positive in anyway today.

TrueBlueGED Posted April 9, 2012 Report Posted April 9, 2012 I noticed Enroth said he was hoping to play 30. I know he was close to signing a KHL deal last summer, is it possible the Sabres told him he'd get 30 games to keep him around? Just thought it was interesting, and I hope he does get close to 30 next season.

If Roy's injury issues are true, then I wonder why he didn't take more time to rehab instead of rushing back.
bcsaberks Posted April 9, 2012 Report Posted April 9, 2012 Roy video gets good at the end. Good job Paul Hamilton.
darksabre Posted April 9, 2012 Report Posted April 9, 2012 Also, I wonder if this is why Regier was unable to move him at the deadline? Darcy obviously would have to disclose Roy's injuries to any potential trade partners. When Roy is healthy his value is probably high, but I have a feeling teams were low-balling based on his current injuries, seeing as he wouldn't have played into any team's playoff push by being hurt.
shrader Posted April 9, 2012 Report Posted April 9, 2012 Says the guy with 6 years left on his contract... Says the guy who is still relatively new blood in this locker room compared to that core everyone loves to talk about. I noticed Enroth said he was hoping to play 30. I know he was close to signing a KHL deal last summer, is it possible the Sabres told him he'd get 30 games to keep him around? Just thought it was interesting, and I hope he does get close to 30 next season. That was just a negotiation ploy. He was never seriously considering going over there. Yeah, it's just my opinion but I think it's a safe assumption.

That's a great point. Regier very well could have chosen to wait until Roy is fully healthy before agreeing to move him. With the Sabres having shopped him for a year it does appear to be a foregone conclusion.

With the Sabres having shopped him for a year it does appear to be a foregone conclusion. Even if he's not fully healthy, if he shows signs of being rehabbed and ready to play by training camp, then I think more teams will take looks at him, especially with the shallow FA class at center.

We all know that a healthy Roy can be a freakin' sick hockey player as far as skill goes. What if he's a third line center with Tropp and Kaleta?

What if he's a third line center with Tropp and Kaleta? I said it in another thread, I want a different type of player at #3 center. I think it would be a good ploy to trade Roy for the center with those attributes. I won't send this thread into a tailspin by expanding upon it. :blush:
