The trade of Daniel Paille to the Bruins is no surprise.  With Thomas Vanek due to return from his injury, the Sabres had too many forwards.  The emergence of rookie Tim Kennedy made Paille expendable, as evidenced by his healthy scratch in the first four games.  He didn’t seem to play with the night-in-and-night-out intensity that Lindy Ruff demanded.  That’s something that Kennedy does do.  Paille looked like he would emerge after a solid 07-08 season when he scored 19 goals.  But he regressed last year, and was clearly on the outs through training camp.  Good for Darcy Regier getting something for a player who didn’t fit.
