Derek Roy was told this week that he would not receive a contract extension from the Dallas Stars, meaning that he had one skate out the door at the trade deadline with unrestricted free agency pending this summer.
The Vancouver Canucks were long-rumored as a destination, needing help up the middle and having previously talked trade with the Stars at the 2012 deadline for Steve Ott.
Now they have the center that was traded for Ott. The circle is complete.
Roy was traded to the Canucks for a second-round draft pick and Kevin Connauton, a 23-year-old defenseman for the Chicago Wolves and a power-play specialist.
