With post-deadline roster set, Sabres move on to rugged final 19 games

‘”We have to do a lot of things differently,” said O’Reilly, now the team’s top active player in goals (18) and points (45) with Kane traded and Jack Eichel injured. “We have to find a way to be much more consistent. It’s our turn to build a foundation. We have to prove to this organization and this city that we can change things here and I want to be a part of it.”‘

‘”It was a welcome surprise when I heard about the trade,” Rodrigues said Tuesday in KeyBank Center. “His hockey sense, smarts and being able to read plays is there. He’s always in open areas without guys around him. He’s one of those guys who always stops at the netfront poking in rebounds and has really soft hands around the net. I think you’ll see that with him. He has a knack for goal scoring, finding open areas and he can make plays.”‘

Evander Kane says goodbye and hello on social media

‘”The ultimate support that you guys give us throughout the course of a season, the good or the bad, I’ll never forget,” Kane said. “I’ve been able to grow as a person over the last three years in more ways than I can imagine. A big part of that is just being able to get in touch with the community and being able to get to know some great people throughout this city.”‘

With trade deadline passed, Sabres want to finish strongly

‘“It’s a challenge right now that’s been sent out,” Housley said after the Sabres prepared for Wednesday’s tilt against the Tampa Bay Lightning, the start of a two-game road trip. “I think the guys responded in the right way (by beating Boston on Sunday) after a poor effort in Washington. They came back and played collectively as a team, played for each other.’

Sabres’ Lehner says report that he asked for a trade is false

‘“Obviously some things have got to happen and we all understand that, but I have no reason to want to get out of here.”’

Sabres’ Rodrigues knows the newest Sabre very well

‘O’Regan isn’t big, but he’s fast. He was the American Hockey League’s rookie of the year last season netting 23 goals and 35 assists for 58 points in 63 games with San Jose. Rodrigues isn’t surprised with what he brings to the table, “It’s his smarts and he’s able to read plays. He always seems to be in an open area. He’s one of those guys that can stop at the net-front and poke in a rebound.”’

Sabres goaltender Robin Lehner happy he wasn’t moved at trade deadline

‘”I have no reason to not want to be here,” Lehner told reporters Tuesday. “Obviously, things have to happen and we all understand that but I have no reason to want to get out of here.”‘

With deadline behind them, Sabres have a lot to prove in final stretch

‘”We need to try to get better,” the goaltender said. “Every game is important to us. It might not be important to other people, but here in this room it’s important. It’s a part of showing you want to be here.”‘
