Is Derek Roy washed up or does he need a change... again?

Derek Roy could be a sneaky player next year on a different team.
He only logged 13min/game... but he still has awesome hockey vision & touch.
Really, a young team like Florida could use him as a 2nd line center.

I could also see him ending up in Vancouver if they go and trade Kesler away.

He could get back to 50pts with 16min/game and consistent PP time.
I do not see him touching 60pts again.

I'm leaning towards this line of thinking. IF he leaves the Blues then a careful examination of where he signs and how he will be used make me think 50 pts is still possible. Seems he is really losing out in St.Lo due to their great depth.

That would be nice but some of us already are stuck with Roy in keeper leagues....
That and we are finding his trade value so low we just have to stick it out for the time being.

22 pts in 30 games for Dallas and was a + player on a mediocre team.

If that is what you consider sucking, I can think of a few teams that will take that type of sucking.

He played a grand total of 12 games in Vancouver so it's hard to say he sucked there when he barely skated for the team.

i watched most every game of roy's in Dallas last year and the term "sucked" fits. he is a guy, who when he isn't scoring, isn't doing anyhting to help the team. i didn't watch a lot of him in buffalo, but he sucked in Dallas. This year was probably a worse year for roy. if STL wasn't so riddled with injuries this year, he wouldhave been healthy scratched for twenty games. Whatever he had in Buffalo is gone. He could sign on a shitty team where he gets big minutes and a big role and then he might put up 45 points next year, but i certainly wouldn't bank on it. 50 is unrealistic in my mind, unless he lands on crosby's wing...
