Gaustad Dealt to Nashville for 1st Round Pick

February 27, 2012

Give a honk for the goose.

The first move of deadline day has been completed for the Sabres, and it involves Paul Gaustad.

According to Bob McKenzie, Darcy Regier has dealt the Sabres forward to Nashville, along with a 4th round pick in exchange for a 1st round pick.

Gaustad has played for Buffalo throughout his entire career and was selected in the 7th round (220th overall) in the 2000 NHL Entry Draft.

Now, the spokesman for the “Go green” advertisements is heading to Nashville.

Gaustad has tallied 181 points (71 G, 110 A) in 479 career games. He’s collected 585 penalty minutes as well.

Gaustad will be an unrestricted free agent at the end of this season, unless he re-signs with the Predators.

I founded Buffalo Hockey Central in 2008 and have poured hours and hours into this site. Luckily, we have a great team of writers and designers who have helped keep this up and running despite a ton of out-of-pocket costs. We do this because we enjoy it, and we're desperate to see the Sabres win the Cup someday, but they have to make the playoffs first.
