— John Vogl (@BuffNewsVogl) March 5, 2014 Minnesota has been busy during the deadline period, first acquiring Ilya Bryzgalov to help with its goalie situation, and now adding a skilled forward in Moulson, who is set to become an unrestricted free agent this summer.
For Buffalo, it was a trade deadline filled with unloading assets. The Sabres traded away Ryan Miller, Steve Ott, and Moulson, while they were able to acquire at least two draft picks, and a highly touted prospect in Hudson Fasching.
