It is not a surprise the struggling Sabres -- last overall in the NHL with only six wins and 16 points under first-year coach Phil Housley -- cut ties with Moulson. In 14 appearances this season, he did not record a single point and was scratched in seven of the last nine games. The former first-line winger saw his ice-time fall to an average of 10:17per game this season, ranging from a low of 6:25 toan early-season one-game high of 19:45.
