Buffalo got tired of losing games and their GM got busy over the holidays. Haula is the 2nd C that I needed. Schmidt is a guy I’ve always liked. He instantly becomes a top pairing guy on the Sabres. Studnicka is a guy I’ve been trying to get from the Oilers GM for a while.
Letting Bertuzzi and Girard go is not something I planned on. I wanted to add them to my core over the next couple of seasons but this season was getting too painful to sit through. I’m here to have fun and try to win. Hopefully the team can string some wins together now.
Thanks to savardandjokinen for hanging in there with me on these deals. Always fun to negotiate with him.
