Sabres' Stewart: 'I got voted off the island'
/Straightforward comments from Buffalo Sabres winger Chris Stewart on his trade from the Blues, via The St. Louis Post-Dispatch:
"It was pretty plain and simple," Stewart said. "They wanted a big goalie and I got voted off the island. I was a casualty. It sucks, but that's the business. I had a lot of good times here in the 3 1/2 years I was here and made a lot of good friends. It's time to turn the page. I'm with Buffalo now and excited for the opportunity."
Why did he get traded?
"There's no point in getting caught up in that," he said. "There's nothing you could do. This is a business. Like I said, that stuff is going to happen. If you start reading into 'Why, why, why?' you're never really going to get the answer. It's out of your control."
