A ninth-round pick by Pittsburgh in 2003, Moulson was a three-time 30-goal scorer with the Islanders and has compiled 135 goals and 127 assists over 377 career games with New York, the Sabres and Los Angeles Kings.
McCormick has one goal, four assists and 45 penalty minutes in 29 games with the Sabres this season. The 30-year-old has 19 goals and 40 assists in 358 career games for Colorado and Buffalo since 2003.
