This Day in Sabres History: March 10th

[Stoner]

March 10, 1981

Scotty Bowman continues his dismantling of the Sabres of the 70s by trading Rick Martin and Don Luce to the Los Angeles Kings. Martin fetches a first-round pick Buffalo uses to select Tom Barrasso in 1983. Luce, sadly, brings only a sixth-rounder and cash.

 

March 10, 2000

The Sabres trade Michal Grosek to Chicago for Doug Gilmour and J.P. Dumont. They also send Wayne Primeau, Brian Holzinger, Cory Sarich and a third-round pick in the upcoming draft for Chris Gratton and a second-round pick in 2001.

 

March 10, 2002

The Sabres bomb former teammate Dominik Hasek from the nets as they defeat the Red Wings at sold-out HSBC Arena, 5-1. Miro Satan scores two goals as the Sabres win for the third straight time and creep to within a game of the elusive .500 mark.

Can't really complain with the results of that trade. Tommy was a damn good Goalie. Bowman really went on a youth movement thing. He added some good young talent for our vets. Why did he leave the Sabres? Was it a fall out from trading the vets?

For those of you who complain about darcy: you're well within your rights. he's screwed the pooch on a few moves(bobcorkum), but he did parlay brian holzinger, corey sarich, wayne primeau, and chris gratton into daniel briere.
