Trade in Sabre Land

League office

OTHL -- The 9th placed Buffalo Sabres added an old friend to there roster today, as they re-acquired Jean Pierre Dumont from the Minnesota Wild. Last season the Sabres traded Dumont to Minnesota in a multi player deal that brought Marian Gaborik and Darious Kasparaitis to the Sabres. Dumont will be a welcome addition to the up-and-down Sabres, who lost 3-4 tonight on away ice to the Ottawa Senators. So far this season Jean Pierre Dumont has scored 11 goals and added 11 assists for 22 points. With that point total Dumont was second in the Wilds scoring race just behind Tony Amonte who has 27 points this season.

The Wild recived Milan Bartovic, Corey Price, Artem Kruikov and Denis Ezhov for there winger. Bartovic has played 1 game for the Sabres this season, without scoring a point. Price, Kruikov and Ezhov has yet to find there way to the OTHL.

Now the question is, will the Wild continue to move veteran players as they continue to drop in the standings?

PLAYER OF THE NIGHT: Radim Vrbata (Anaheim), had 3 points (1+2) in the Ducks 4-2 win over New York Islanders tonight.
