Its gonna be nice to see a gritty player on the ice with the ability to move up lines now that Burr and Kes have focused more on their play, and less on their chirping.

I agree, the deadline was a bit weak. I am not a big fan of Lapierre, only because he played in Montreal, and has been shopped around alot. Buffalo got Boyes from the Blues. I like him for many reasons, but mainly his durability, he plays every game. He scored tonight in his first game in Buffalo's 3-2 win over the Rangers, which makes me like him more. I'm pumped, but only half as pumped as I am to have Terry Pegula as the new owner. Any hockey fan wants to hear the owner (who is from Western NY btw) say he is not in this as a financial investment and that he is willing to spend the money to bring our city a cup. I would have his babies if it were possible. The Sabs have only one loss under Pegula, which was an OTL where they blew a 2 goal lead with under a minute left to Dteroit, so I think they feel it too! A great boost to the organization.
