BUFFALO, N.Y. -- The setting might be new for forward Matt Moulson after he joined the Buffalo Sabres on Monday. The uncertainty about his future beyond this season hasnt changed. A day after being acquired in a trade with the New York Islanders, Moulson was unsure of whether Buffalo would be his last stop this season. "Im just going to take it day by day," said, Moulson, preparing to make his Sabres debut against Dallas later in the evening. "If its for however long, a long period of time, a short period of time or whatever they have planned, Im going to play and compete, play my game and try to help this team get wins." Moulsons uncertainty stems from him being in the final year of his contract. That makes the 29-year-old eligible to test free agency next summer, when hes expected to attract lucrative offers. The Islanders deemed the three-time, 30-goal scorer expendable by dealing Moulson and two draft picks in a trade to acquire Buffalos leading scorer, Thomas Vanek, who is also in the final year of his contract. Moulson could eventually find himself on the move again with Buffalo (2-10-1) in the process of rebuilding from scratch. Though Moulson provides Buffalo someone capable of immediately filling Vaneks spot on the top line, the key to the deal for the Sabres was an opportunity to continue stockpiling draft picks. They acquired a first-round selection in 2014, and a second-rounder in 2015. Intent on developing a young lineup that features four 18-year-olds, Buffalo has matched its worst start in franchise history. Its unclear yet how Moulson fits in the teams plans, which opens the possibility of the Sabres trading him to address additional needs. In discussing the trade on Sunday, general manager Darcy Regier said Moulson "will address our current needs." Moulson isnt in a position to complain. "You cant really worry about those things too much," he said. "Obviously, when they come, its a little bit of a whirlwind. Im going to play my game, and I dont think that will change." With six goals, Moulson immediately takes over the Sabres lead. And his nine points in 11 games tie him with centre Cody Hodgson. In his seventh NHL season, Moulson developed his scoring touch over the previous four seasons on Long Island. He has scored 118 goals since 2009-10 to rank 10th among NHL players over that stretch. Coach Ron Rolston noted that Moulson has a reputation for being a good role model, which is something important in helping develop the Sabres youth. "You lose somebody of the stature of Thomas Vanek, you have to be really be careful on who you bring in," Rolston said. "That helps set the culture that you have here." Moulson is no stranger to rebuilding teams after being part of a similar process with the Islanders. "Its exciting to be a part of a group of young guys who are excited to play and be in the league and compete," Moulson said. "Im sure itll be a lot of fun." Air Jordan 6 Wholesale .

Who can blame them for wanting to stick around a little longer? Pittsburgh will continue its first postseason run since 1992 on Thursday when they start the best-of-five National League Division Series against the St. Louis Cardinals at Busch Stadium. "We know the Cardinals and they know us; there wont be any secrets," Pirates second baseman Neil Walker said. Of course, these teams are no stranger to one another, having played 19 times in the regular season. In fact from June 21 on, it was essentially a two-horse race for bragging rights in the NL Central before St. Louis eventually pulled away from Pittsburgh and captured its first division title since 2009 by virtue of a league-best 97-65 mark. So, the Pirates had to settle for a wild card spot, despite finishing above .500 (94-68) for the first time since that 1992 season. Nobody in the Steel City was complaining, though, as they hadnt experienced postseason baseball since Barry Bonds was roaming the outfield at Three Rivers Stadium. And Pittsburgh rewarded its fans on Tuesday, as Francisco Liriano fired seven innings of one-run ball and Russell Martin cracked a pair of solo home runs in the Pirates 6-2 win over Cincinnati in the NL wild card game. "We didnt talk about one and done, we talked about one and run," Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said. "Win one and run to St. Louis." Pittsburgh had five All-Stars at this years Midsummer Classic, but none shined brighter than Andrew McCutchen, who continued to state his case as one of the best young players in the game. McCutchen hit .317 with 21 home runs, 84 RBI, 27 stolen bases, a .404 on-base percentage and .508 slugging percentage in 157 games. He became just the fourth major league center fielder since 1947 to have consecutive seasons of hitting .300 with a .400 slugging percentage and .500 on-base-plus-slugging percentage, joining Mickey Mantle, Willie Mays and Ken Griffey Jr. Veteran right-hander A.J. Burnett will get the call for the Bucs in Game 1. Burnett was only 10-11 this season, but pitched to a 3.03 ERA and is no stranger to postseason baseball. "It means a lot," Burnett said about getting the ball for Game 1. "I wouldnt want it any other way. Theyve come a long way, these men in here.dddddddddddd Step 2 was tonight. We have a lot of work still to be done, a lot of games to be played. It was a great win, a great step. Now we have to get ready for another series." Burnett has pitched to a 5.08 ERA in seven postseason games, but is 1-0 with a 1.54 ERA in his two Division Series outings. While Pittsburgh may be getting its first taste of postseason action since 1992, St. Louis is holding court in October for the third straight year and for the 10th time in the last 14 seasons. The Cardinals have won four playoff series in the past two seasons and have claimed two World Series titles in the past seven years. Amazingly, Mike Mathenys team keeps chugging along no matter what obstacles seem to be thrown their way. The Cardinals also enter the postseason hot, having won their last six games and 10 of the last 12 in the regular season. McCutchen may be the NL frontrunner for an MVP, but the Cards have a pair of candidates as well in catcher Yadier Molina and second baseman Matt Carpenter. In addition to being the best defensive catcher in the game, Molina has also become a more than capable bat in the lineup. This year, he hit .319 and drove in 80 runs. Carpenter was a real surprise, though, as the rookie earned an All-Star berth, hitting .318, while scoring a major league-best 126 runs. "I dont know where wed be without him -- having that leadoff hitter and having the kind of season that hes having and what hes done defensively," Matheny said of Carpenter. "Its just off the charts, as far as how good he has been and how much hes proven just what a solid baseball player he is -- no matter where we put him." The key for St. Louis will be jumping out in front on a hot Pirates team that seems to be gaining momentum by the day. And who better to do just that in Game 1 than NL wins leader Adam Wainwright, who won 19 games this season and pitched to a 3.00 ERA in three starts versus the Pirates. Wainwright was 4-0 in his final five starts, working seven or more innings in all of them except for a tuneup his last time out. "All in all, a Cy Young-caliber season," Matheny said. "Were not afraid to put him on the mound against anybody." Pittsburgh narrowly won the season series, 10-9, but lost six of nine in St. Louis. ' ' '
