Re: 2010-2011 NHL Season
Sabres traded a 2nd round pick for Brad Boyes, who has a year left on his contract at 4 mil after this season, so he might not just be a rental for this year's playoff run. I like the move although Boyes is going to have to produce better than he has in St. Louis this year and last.
Starting a long road trip with NYR and Carolina so it was a good time to bolster the roster.
I wouldn't mind unloading Connolly or Hecht on some team before the deadline though.

Re: 2010-2011 NHL Season
The Devils are on a 20-2-2 run... wow. I don't know if I've seen anything like that in my entire life, and they're still a long shot to make the playoffs.
For the East, I think the top 6 teams are secure although they could switch their order around a lot still. I think Carolina and Buffalo will get the final two spots, but the Rangers, Leafs, and Devils are all possible playoff teams still. I don't think the Leafs will make it though, and I guess some people haven't given up on Atlanta but I did a while ago.
The West is so tight that it's tough to call anybody 'out' except Colorado and Edmonton.
As for the Sabres - Brad Boyes has played great. Stafford's one of the best in the league for goals per game, and his OT goal in Minnesota was awesome. The team doesn't have the talent to compete for the Cup, but it's nice to have them playing better in March than they have in the rest of the year. Last year and in 07 they coasted into the playoffs and weren't at their peak in them.

Re: 2010-2011 NHL Season
RIP Rick Martin 
http://www.nhl.com/ice/commentsthread.h … COMMENTTOP
Rick Martin, who comprised one-third of the famed "French Connection" line for the Buffalo Sabres in the 1970s, died of a heart attack Sunday at age 59.
Martin was one of the Sabres' first draft picks, taken No. 5 in 1971, and teamed with Gilbert Perreault and Rene Robert on the high-scoring line that helped lead them to the Stanley Cup Final in 1975, only their fifth season of existence.
Martin scored a career-high 52 goals in 1973-74 and matched that again to go with a career-high 95 points the following season. He added 7 goals and 15 points in 17 playoff games as the Sabres fell to the Flyers in the Final.
