I'm not sure, but I feel like Moulson is more consistent from game to game than Vanek is. Vanek will get 20 points in 5 games and then disappear for 20. Last year alone Moulson's biggest point drought was 2 games.

Most Isles fans are saying he only produced like that because of JT. Guess will will find out what kind of player he is with us

Never said he was bad. He's not close to being bad. In fact he's closer to great. Like I have said . I used to love Vanek. I just am not fond of him anymore

I think he just get tired of being tired, I know that sounds strange but he might have figured we would be farther along now then we are even with new ownership. Seeing big name players go one after the other and Pommer leaving maybe he figured enough was enough.

I didn't really have a problem with him until he came out and basically said he didn't want to be here because the team was rebuilding. Then they made him captain and I got to watch him loaf around on the ice for the last 12 games. I hated the decision to make him captain, especially since this is a young and impressionable team. I felt that his leadership style was to show the young guys that coasting and being completely uninterested in anything going on was OK.

I guess we'll see. But like I said, I think he'll be pretty motivated to prove to people that he's a good player and that he can be productive without JT.

The best part about this trade is that now the Sabres can't even accidentally launch themselves out of a top 2 pick.

I agree. Maybe he can fire up Hodgson

I think Miller plays his last game as a Sabre at home tomorrow night. Just a hunch.

What did it for me was a few years ago. Not taking the C and the. Disappearing when the Sabres went on that historic run after the All Star break. He went missing basically and this team was winning. That's when I figured he could be traded and we could benefit

Also free's up some cap space if they want to make another deal, Darcy mentioned that the picks he got in the deal or picks they have won't have to be used at the draft.

Agreed. I was kind of for him being captain. But I thought he would come out swinging contract year and all

My hunch is that locker room is like the underworld right now and Rolston is Hades

IMO I would have like to see him with a number 1 center, everytime I watched Vanek skate it looked like he wasn't even moving. I guess he wasn't a very fast skater but was a good goal scorer.

Maybe. I don't think Hodgson is as bad as a lot of others around here though.

Hes been better than most players on this team, but that isn't saying much either.
