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." Authentic Philip Rivers Jersey .
