Just 1 day after acquiring veteran C Doug Weight, The Sabres ship him off to boston. Buffalo cogm Luke Wile admits, "It was a decision that was a direct reflection of the direction of the team. We would have liked Weight on the squad to foster the growth of some of our younger guys, but Boston put together an offer we couldn't refuse." The sabres also received some much needed depth.
To Boston: Doug Weight Frederic Cassivi
To Buffalo: Ryan O'Marra Jocelyn Thibault Joey Tenute
It was a steep price to pay losing O'Marra for 2/3 of a season with Dougie Weight, but he fits our team perfectly and will allow us to move Lupul to the wing again. Dougie will likely slide in on a line with Samsonov and Lupul as we try and push forward towards a playoff spot.
