Derek Roy Trade Rumors

Trade rumors surround the Buffalo Sabres and center Derek Roy for the 2011-2012 NHL season. The Sabres are sitting at 11th in the Eastern Conference, a disappointment for a team that added high calibre defencemen such as Christian Ehrhoff and Robyn Regehr in the offseason.

Roy is 28 years old and has led the Sabres in scoring previously. He missed most of last season with a leg injury. With 24 points in 40 games played, he is struggling. The Buffalo Sabres are looking to shake up their roster. The Washington Capitals, Florida Panthers, Winnipeg Jets and Montreal Canadiens are interested in making a deal for Derek Roy before the 2012 NHL trade deadline.
