Because Roberts wanted a two year deal and at his age (including a year off where he played no hockey) that was the equivalent of Russian Roulette with a loaded Uzi. If Roberts would have either compromised on money or term though I think a deal was there to make, but I'm not John Ferguson Jr. :P

Of course Ferguson's trying to undercut Roberts with Joe Neuwendyk (sp?) was not exactly a smart ploy either <_<
