The Columbus Blue Jackets have traded forward Raffi Torres to the Buffalo Sabres. In Torres, the Sabres get a gritty personality forward who’ll help boost their momentum.

Elliote Friedman is reporting that Nathan Paetsch and a second round pick went over to Columbus in exchange for Torres, so the deal does indeed look to benefit the Sabres more.

“It’s just about expiring contracts and not having rights to the players,” Columbus general manager Scott Howson said. “When you’re in that situation, you have to make a decision. Are you going to hang onto them?”

Torres, his wife and 3-month-old daughter will be moving to Buffalo, not far from his parents’ home in suburban Toronto.

Considering Torres’ contributions in the past with the Oilers and on Columbus, he gives the Sabres a nice physical angle that they can use to hammer out space for their forwards.

Torres has recorded 19 goals and 31 points in 60 games for Columbus this season. A smooth-skating, gritty left winger who can log minutes on the power play, three of his 19 goals are game-winners.

It’s not a blockbuster deal by any extent, but it doesn’t look like many big names will be moving on this particular trade deadline day.
