Sad to see Vanek go, but it's time to move on, time to put my Vanek jersey in a frame and out of wear rotation. The Sabres are clearly rebuilding and the right thing to do was to move Vanek for picks. I wouldn't expect Moulson to be a Sabre too long, I think he gets flipped for more picks or prospects by the trade deadline.
Tavares and the Isles will love Vanek, one of the more underrated snipers in the game, he can carry a line all by himself and create scoring chances, he'll take a lot of pressure of Tavares. Great in the room and off ice too.
Sabres have an amazing prospect pool with Grigorenko, Ristolaninen, Larsson, Zadorov, Girgrensons, Pysyk, Armia, Compher, McNabb, Hackett and Flynn. Add to that a young core in Hodgson, Ennis, Foligno and Myers, with 2 first round picks this year and 2 second round picks, this sets up well long term.
