Au Revoir, Andre

The Tampa Bay Lightning claimed Penguins winger Andre Roy off of waivers today, ending Roy's year-and-a-half tenure with the black and gold. As the list below shows, Roy's departure leaves one two players on the Penguins roster (two three if you count Mark Recchi) from the group that Craig Patrick brought in following the 2003-04 season. And to think, this was the group that made me think the Pens were closer to a championship than the Steelers.

Sergei Gonchar: Still with Penguins
John LeClair: Placed on waivers, November 2006
Lyle Odelien: Who the fuck knows, February 2006 (?)
Zigmund Palffy: Retired January 2006
Mark Recchi: Traded to Carolina, March 2006 (re-signed with Penguins, summer 2006)
Andre Roy: Claimed off of waivers by Tampa Bay, December 2006
Jocelyn Thibault: Still with Penguins

At least the Penguins never tried to sign Joe Randa.
