Fifteen games in and my Sabres are playing well. We are 9-4-1 and currently sit 6th in the East with 19 points. However only 1 point seperates 6th from 1st so we aren't that far back. I noticed that we didn't have a ton of salary room quickly and that is stopping me from making any huge moves so I needed to acquire at least a little breathing room on that front so here is my first trade with the Kings.

To LA:
(85)Jason Pominville
Sabres 2013 3rd round pick
Sabres 2014 3rd round pick

To BUF
(84)Dustin Brown
LA 2013 2nd round pick

This was a hard trade to make, we lose our captain and one of our best players in Jason Pominville. On the other hand we pick up Dustin Brown who will soon be named our new captain. He fits my style better than Pominville does as he is more of a two way player that can hit, score, skate, fight and do it all. We also pick up a 2nd rounder and I feel I can either package that pick with another asset for a better asset or if worst comes to worst get a good prospect at the draft. Brown will take Pominvilles spot on the first line. We now also have around 7 million in cap room to make more deals.
