thx...i'm a big fans of Moulson, and everything surrounding his ending up in buffalo

"It was the number worn by Vanek, and after seven years of a perceived or real self-centeredness on his part, many fans grew tired of his game"

You can say that again. I wasn't surprised how quickly his stock plummeted when he left here.

Not someone you build around, and definitely not a leader.


As far as Moulson, I like him and like that he's a stop gap top line winger, but I hope he's tradable in 2-3 years

Only you would trade him 2 years, which makes no sense what so ever.

If his play declines like most do in their 30's then it won't only be me.

It is okay that you guys don't like him . We appreciate him here and love that he is willing to be a mentor for young players we will be bringing up as our rebuild goes forward.

I never witnessed moulson play a 200 foot game? Not with us, minnesota, or the games I watched him as a sabre? Hash marks in. That was about it.

Whatever floats your boat. Cool

He's more of a two way player than Vanek was. I would agree he's not great defensively but at least with him we get consistent effort.

At this stage in the Sabres rebuild it's better to have Moulson here than Vanek

He puts in an honest effort at the end of the day.

And I think he'll especially put in an honest effort for Teddy. After all, Teddy's part of the reason Matty Mo came back to Buffalo.

Rumor has it, Moulson likes his coach to literally do nothing
