24. Derek Roy

24. Derek Roy

Taken early in the Second Round of the 2001 Draft, Derek Roy had a streaky career in the minors, which prevented him from becoming a fixture in the Sabres until the 2005-06 season, where he had 46 Points.  Roy came into his own afterward, scoring at least 60 Points in four consecutive seasons (2006-07 to 2009-10), which included an 81 Point year in 2007-08.

Roy was a decent two-way player, who accrued at least one vote for the Frank J. Selke Trophy three straight years, and would score 427 Points as a Sabre before he was traded to the Dallas Stars.
