Sabres Acquire Boyes

Late last night, the Buffalo Sabres made their first move of the month when they acquired forward Brad Boyes from St. Louis in exchange for a 2011 second round pick.

Boyes, 28, scored 43 goals in 2008 and scored 33 goals in 2009.  Since then, he hasn't been able to produce such consistent numbers but still shows some promise.  He has 12 goals and 29 assists in 62 games this season for the Blues.  This move gives the Sabres a good second line winger to bolster their offense.  You can expect many more moves in the next 12 hours or so.

3 Big Impact Players that MIGHT be Moved at the Trade Deadline

Let's take a look at 3 players that will certainly help any team with their playoff push.  All 3 of these players are still available as of now.  There are just over 24 hours until the 2011 NHL trade deadline.

#3) Ales Hemsky

Although health is a constant issue with Hemsky, he is a fantastic playmaker and a great scorer.  He has very good hands and if he can stay healthy has the potential to first line on any team.  Statistically, he is a point per game scorer, and is in the top ten in "points per 60 minutes".  Interested teams include Washington and Los Angeles, but a trade is not necessarily imminent.
