Sabres Acquire Moore from Maple Leafs

The Buffalo Sabres added some depth at center by acquiring center Dominic Moore from the Toronto Maple Leafs in exchange for Carolina's 2nd round draft pick in 2009, which was previously acquired. Maple Leafs GM Brian Burke tried for most of the afternoon to re-sign the impending free agent, but was unable to do so. In a breakout season, Moore has 12 goals and 29 assists for 41 points in 63 games. It's too bad the Leafs couldn't get Moore re-signed, as he has been a great player for them all season, but it's still a possibility he could re-sign with the team once free agency begins on July 1. Moore will bring lots of grittiness and offensive skill to the Sabres up the middle, especially on the power play.
