At the very least I get a whole lot more guys that actually sign and are worth signing. Well your team would probably be the reddest in the league. No way you could keep profitable doing that in the modern era. ---

Kotalik has 32 points this year, and is on the last year of his deal. Moore has 41 and is on the last year of his deal. Kotalik makes $2.5 million if i remember correctly. Moore makes 700k and plays good defense. IDK, I like it personally. We’ll see how he does. ---

> [@fiend540](#): > > Oh boy a good shooter with 13 goals… Did I say goal scorer?..didnt think so. He had by far, one of the best, if not the best, shot on our team and won a ton of important shoot outs for us. He has been a pussy and not hitting lately and at times lazy, but he is still a good player. They should at least snagged a guy they plan on keeping for a while if they were moving kotalik. I will be suprised as hell if they resign moore and give him the money he wants to stay. My guess is he will be gone come deadline and they will bring up another pirate and assume he will take kotaliks spot. ---

Kotalik would have been gone come offseason anyways, so we got rid of a lazy guy with a good shot for someone who is supposed to be a better 2 way player, and scores just as much as Kotalik. The new guy can also win faceoffs for us which has been a problem all year imo ---

I’d expect us to try to keep Moore if he meshes with the team, he’s two years tounger than Kotalik and shouldn’t be terribly expensive ---

My guess is he will be gone come deadline and they will bring up another pirate and assume he will take kotaliks spot. your basing your praise of kotalik on shootout goals? thats retarded. there’s other things involved in being a good player, kotalik possesses none of them. cept he has a gifted shot, o yea, to win a shootout you do have to make some saves you know? and score more than 1 goal… and he has ALWAYS been lazy and a pussy. just stepping up recently for the first time, like every player on the trading block in early march ---

WTF is wrong with some of you…They werent going to re-sign Kotalik anyway so they got rid of him for someone that they feel can help them make it to the playoffs. In essence Kotalik was a “rented” player for the rest of the season no matter what. ---

lol, we haven’t even seen Moore play a single game in a Sabres uniform yet. Let’s see how he does on Friday and then make our judgement about whether the trade was stupid or not. I personally like the idea of Moore on the team instead of Kotalik. The dude can be thrown into EVERY situation and can win faceoffs. Kotalik was a beast in the shootout and ummm…uhhh…that’s about it. For someone with such a great shot, he should have used it more.
