Roy Signs with Calgary

It seemed pretty apparent that the new owneship wasn't interested in re-signing Andre Roy along with a few others. Roy has landed in Calgary, joining former Bolt Cory Sarich.

''Andre is a player with a Stanley Cup championship, who provides us with a dimension that is still important in the league,'' said Flames general manager Darryl Sutter. ''It was our goal to replace that aspect on our team and we felt it was better to do it now than to trade for it as we go into camp.''

So there you have it. The speculation can end. It will be sad to see the big guy go. If anything, you can't say he didn't play with passion and heart. Unfortunately at times that got him and the team in trouble.
