Paul Gaustad will most likely be traded

It appears as though part of the Buffalo Sabres core will finally be traded. Paul Gaustad, who is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent on July 1st, will probably be sent packing if the Sabres and Gaustad cannot reach a deal. While not a goal scorer, the big center can be an asset to a team in the playoffs. He kills penalties, hits, and is very good on faceoffs. I am very happy to see Gaustad traded, as I think is he highly overpaid for what he does on the ice. I believe that the Sabres can land a 2nd round pick for the big center. I would like the Sabres to get as many assets as they can to either get into the top 2 of the draft and to make a trade for a bonafide center. Hopefully, Brad Boyes will be sent packing as well.
