It seems to boil down to communication and working together.
Gionta is a team guy, and looks at what GMTM has done with Moulson.
I know we don't like the Moulson deal, but if GMTM over payed to earn some well needed player respect for the Sabres organization on the *seasoned vet front* that Detroit seemed to have and we longed for, it is/was well worth it.
Because the end result of the Moulson deal means Gointa is willing give GMTM the benefit of the doubt that he will keep his word for a trade/bring back scenario.
