Sabres Acquire Brad Boyes from Blues

The Buffalo Sabres announced late Sunday evening that they have acquired right wing Brad Boyes from the St. Louis Blues in exchange for a second round pick in the 2011 Entry Draft. He still has one year left on his current contract with a $4 million salary cap hit. In 62 games this season, he has 12 goals and 29 assists for 41 points. Not a bad move for the Sabres, as Boyes will bring plenty of offensive depth to the forward lines. He also has good goal-scoring and playmaking skills, but is a bit inconsistent in his scoring. Perhaps the move to Buffalo will help Boyes pick up his offensive production a bit.
