Sabres have trade chips on the wings

Have I Mentioned That the Kings Suck on the Road? by  Jack Weber
Darryl Sutter was forced to change the Kings lineup out of necessity today, as captain and left wing on the first line, Dustin Brown, was suspended for the remaining two games of the regular season following an elbow to the head of Jason Pominville yesterday. Pominville left the game and didn’t return with what is [...]
I am not a Dustin Brown hater by any stretch of the imagination, he's a good American players, but when you make a mistake you
own up to and you move on. These comments that he made about his elbow on Jason Pominville are laughable, if not insulting.
Helene Elliott and Lisa Dillman, Los Angeles Times – Obviously we were disappointed in the decision, quite honest,"...

@bush1124 The NHL has no choice, they have to suspend him for this hit.
— Eric J. Burton (@goon48) April 24, 2013
First off, I was right, the NHL had no choice, they had to suspend Dustin Brown for his hit on Jason Pominville. In my opinion, the hit was a text book violation of the NHL's Rule 48. Obviously, we can debate that if you want. Also, this suspension doesn&...

Dustin Brown at the center of two controversial hits
Dustin Brown's reputation in the NHL is starting to get pretty ugly. If you're unfamiliar with Brown as a player, he plays the game with an intensity and a ferocity that's difficult to match. This style appears to get the better of him, causing him to throw controversial hits on a somewhat regular basis. In a span of just three days, Brown placed himself at the center...

Dustin Brown throws vicious elbow at Jason Pominville’s face
About midway through the second period, the Los Angeles Kings were down 2-0 when Dustin Brown threw a vicious elbow at Jason Pominville’s face.  The puck came to Brown on the half-wall, and rather than wait for Pominville to make contact with him, Brown lunged at Pominville and delivered an elbow right to his face.  A penalty wasn’t called on the play, but something tells me...
