Paille Gone to Boston

[geschrocks33]

Buffalo Sabres have traded Daniel Paille to the Boston Bruins for a 3rd rounder, and a conditional 2010 draft pick

Boston is now trading away draft picks?!

I suppose so lol, kinda sucks to see us trade Paille into our own division, I don't like that move

Hate to see him go...but hopefully they use him to his potential in Boston more than here in buffalo.

Boston fans should be happy about this move. I think its a great pick-up in that hes an "energy" player that can hit and I believe could potentially score 30 goals if paired with the right players.

P.S.- I will be continuing my Paille collection in regards to any new Boston cards he may have

I liked his grit along the walls, he wasnt big but never shied away from contact, that said, he was struggling to stay in the lineup because he really couldnt score

I'm just glad he's going to get a chance to play. Good luck to him!

will you be chasing any of his Boston cards or just try to get the rest of his Buffalo stuff?

[Walter Sobchak]

Its all or nothing right? lol

I really dont understand when people collect all of a players cards with their team but refuse to pick up ones from the new teams. To me it would be a waste of money to throw money into a collection if I wasnt willing to accept the trade. That being said...I will be collecting any Boston cards he may have lol

Any Boston fans want to fill me in on where a player like Paille would be expected to play, or what linemates he could potentially have?

Also, I dont think that was the problem to be honest. If given the chance to play consistantly on a 2nd/3rd line he would score 20 goals easy...The fact is, Buffalo has far too many decent 3rd liners and couldnt give him the roster spot he needs. A player must be put in the right position to score goals before Im willing to say they are "struggling". He has a 1 point in 2 games his year..tough to guage his production from those numbers

I agree Rich, we weren't really giving him the time he deserved on the ice
