Anyone have any wingers they're willing to part with? Willing to part with particular young defensemen.
I have Gaborik. And no interest in any of your D men.
Or your goalies.
Hey get in line.
If we could move Nikitin, Volchenkov bring an edge the Jackets D doesn't have. Any young goalies?
No, not Schneider.
Moulson could easily be more than a rental though for a team with cap space. He's only 30 and could be good value for a team, which is why I think he goes for a bit more than a typical rental if the Sabres move him at the deadline.
He had 3 consecutive 30 goal seasons and had a 25+ pace last year (accounting for the shortened season). He's on pace for 28 this year despite having to play for the Isles and Sabres (sad stat: he's only played in 33 of Buffalo's 46 games this year, yet he's still 3rd in goals and 2nd in points and has scored 11.6% of the team's goals).
There is some belief he may not be moved though because he's growing quickly in popularity and respect from his teammates in Buffalo and is from not-far-away Mississauga, ON.
He's a younger, way better RJ Umberger. How do you feel about Nikita Nikitin and the older, less good Matt Moulson?
