Craig Rivet to Buffalo

Craig Rivet was traded to Buffalo by the San Jose Sharks, giving Buffalo the defenseman they were looking for.  The Sabres also receive a seventh-round draft pick and send back  2009 and 2010 second-round picks.  Rivet, 33, had 5 goals and 30 assists last year, and was a +3 in about 21 minutes of ice time.  The Sharks had to move someone thanks to picking up Dan Boyle, and the Sabres are the beneficiaries.

And there could be more deals to make.
