BUFFALO, N.Y. -- The Buffalo Sabres have acquired forward Steve Ott and defenceman Adam Pardy from the Dallas Stars in exchange for centre Derek Roy.
Sabres general manager Darcy Regier announced the trade Monday.
Roy is entering the final year of his contract after underperforming last season for Buffalo. Following season-ending surgery to repair a torn quadriceps tendon in 2010-2011, Roy had 17 goals and 27 assists in 80 games last season. He scored at least 25 goals from 2007-2010 before he was hurt. Roy has 161 goals and 266 assists in eight NHL seasons, all with Buffalo.
Like it for both teams. Buffalo really needed some size and gritt and Ott is exactly that.
Dallas on the other hand had some serious issues scoring last year and a healthy Derek Roy can put the puck in the net.
