2015-16 Sabres Grades: Matt Moulson
John E. Sokolowski-USA TODAY SportsAge: 32
Contract: Moulson is signed through the 2018-19 season at $5 million per year.
Introduction: In addition to a 2015 first and second-round draft pick, Matt Moulson was acquired the first time in the 2013 trade with the NY Islanders, in exchange for Thomas Vanek (and my heart). He and Cody McCormick were then traded to the Minnesota Wild in 2014. Moulson returned to Buffalo on a 5-year deal two seasons ago, and has met with very mixed reviews since then.
Key Stat: 81 games this season. 8 goals, 13 assists for 21 points. That’s not so great for $5M a year.
