Matt Moulson, who was acquired by the Sabres in the Tomas Vanek trade of October 27th and is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent July 1st, likes playing in Buffalo.
In fact, he likes playing for the organization and coach Ted Nolan so much, he is very open to re-signing with the Sabres. "I don't know what they think of me. I love playing for Teddy" said Moulson. "Like I said before, the organization has treated myself and my family incredibly well. The people of Buffalo are great fans and it has been a lot of fun growing with these guys. From where we were to where we want to be is obviously a process, but I think we've made some huge strides." We wouldn't be shocked if Moulson returned to Buffalo next season.

Matt Moulson scored the game-winning goal, his 12th tally of the season, as the Buffalo Sabres beat the Winnipeg Jets 4-2 on Tuesday.
Moulson was on a five-game pointless streak before generating goals again. Generally speaking, he's proven that he can be a fairly productive scorer without John Tavares, though there have been highs and lows.

Matt Moulson scored the lone goal for Buffalo in a 2-1 overtime loss to Calgary Saturday afternoon.
His 11th marker of the year snapped his five-game scoring drought. Moulson's 12 points in 20 games since joining the Sabres is a bit misleading because he has struggled with consistency. Zemgus Girgensons and Christian Ehrhoff picked up assists on his marker Saturday.

Matt Moulson scored his ninth goal of the season in Buffalo's 3-1 loss to Montreal Wednesday night.

The Buffalo News' John Vogl points out that Matt Moulson hasn't scored a goal in his last 10 games.
That's a bit of selective stats, however, as he has a perfectly respectable seven assists in that span. Still, fantasy owners add him for his sniping, so the criticism is understandable. He's had 19 SOG in those 10 games, so if he ups his attempts just a bit he should work things out.

Matt Moulson registered an assist in Buffalo's 4-2 loss on Saturday.
It was anticipated that Moulson's fantasy value would take a hit when a trade moved him from the New York Islanders to Buffalo Sabres. After all he was moving from an offensively gifted team where he played alongside John Tavares to an anemic one that had nobody that approached Tavares' caliber. So far he's managed to beat those expectations by scoring two goals and nine points in nine games. That hasn't been enough for Buffalo though, as the team still has the league's lowest goals per game and the worst record.

Matt Moulson contributed two assists in Buffalo's 3-2 shootout win over Los Angeles Tuesday night.
He logged just 10:50 of ice time when the top line was benched in the Sabres' 6-2 loss to Anaheim last Friday. They rebounded in Tuesday's win over the Kings, as Cody Hodgson scored two goals in regulation and Moulson had a hand in both of them. Moulson also scored in the shootout.

Matt Moulson was warming the bench for the last 26:11 minutes of Buffalo's 6-2 loss to Anaheim on Friday.
"It's the most embarrassed I've been in my career," Moulson said. Sabres coach Ron Rolston cited Moulson's effort level as the reason for the benching. Buffalo has been terrible so far this season, but Moulson still has two goals and six points in six games since he was sentenced to them via a trade with the New York Islanders.
