The Buffalo Sabres, who sit two points out of a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference with two games in hand, have added some scoring punch.
The club acquired forward Brad Boyes from the St. Louis Blues in exchange for a second round pick in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft.
In 61 games this season, the 28-year-old has 12 goals and 29 assists in 62 games played.
Boyes is signed through the 2011-12 season and has a $4 million cap hit.
He had 43 goals in 07/08 but only 14 goals last season. A second round pick is basically nothing so it appears it was a salary dump for the Blues. $4 mil next year isn't a back breaker but I wonder if this deal would have happened under cheap skate Goli.
He seems like a Pominville esque streaky/shakey player. Furthermore this trade almost guarantees a player is shipped out of here tomorrow. FWIW Boyes is our second leading scorer and has 15 points in his last 15 games.

does sekera or connolly have any value?

I wish we could have snatched Sturm off waivers and threw him with Hecht and watch that classic Deutsch Duo blitzkrieg bop all over the Eastern conference. Boyes will do.
