If any team makes a run at moulson it will be Pittsburgh. Not only is he cheap but he can score 25-30 goals. With a talented center he could put up 35 probably. Not to mention since his contract is up come june you can probably get him for a mix of picks and prospects. Plus the last deadline deal pitt made with islanders worked out well.
NYI GM Garth Snow has indicated to Moulson camp he wants to sign player to contract, but negotiations have not yet really begun.

If the NYI are trading Matt Moulson, as has been reported/rumored elsewhere, I am told it's not to Boston
Gonna go out on a limb here.... but can anyone explain to me why on earth Boston would trade for Matt Moulson?
This is a team that arguably already has too many forwards (at both centre and wing). Moulson's full year cap hit is $2.4m which they do not have space for on a prorated basis. The only semi-realistic thought process here would be if the B's wanted to move Ryder, and use the cap difference between the two to add a blueliner.

Do you really think Boston is going to trade a 5th over all for a player why barely made in into the NHL drafted in the 9th round
I'm not going to touch upon whether Wheeler for Moulson is a fair trade, but with regards to the bolded, that's just a really dumb statement to try and make your case with.
Original draft position has *no* bearing on which player is the better player *now*.

The rumour is Moulson for a draft pick. Probably Boston's second rd pick.
Wheeler has more value being that he is only a RFA, young and a decent cap number.

Who's the source of the rumor?
McKenzie's saying Snow wants to sign him to an extension,but they haven't even started contract talks yet.Botta's saying don't believe the tweets about Moulson being shopped.
