Derek Roy has indicated that his agent is discussing the possibility of negotiating a long-term contract with the Stars. Roy will be an unrestricted free agent at season's end and the Stars may consider moving him at the trade deadline if the two sides don't come to an agreement. "They've been talking, so it's been good," Roy said, referring to his agent and the Stars' front office. "Me and Joe have had a talk, too, so that's good. But, like I said, I can't focus on that or my game will go downhill pretty fast. That's why I hired an agent." The fact that he's playing for a new deal is a good reason to bank on Roy down the stretch.
