As of Friday they can have as many bodies on the roster as they want. Expect there is a very slim chance he gets sent down, but would more expect that nobody on the current roster goes down.

No prob. (But the mods have been fixng a few of the really bad ones.)

Trotz is a great coach. Will be interesting to see if that carries over to the other side of management. Not a slam dunk it will.

Yeah, the tablet has been wonky since it updated last weekend. Normally catch it when it is doing that, but not always. Sorry about that.

Can't send Asplund down. Somebody would claim him.

Have said it elsewhere, but nobody is getting sent down at this point. Tuch won't be back until after the trade deadline. (The one slightly possible exception is could see a very outside chance that UPL gets sent down.)

Expect Comrie should start Tuesday but also expect that Anderson will. Considering nobody has fully taken control of the crease, wouldn't be horribly upset if they started rolling through all 3. Would give Anderson the B's game if they are rolling through the 3.

And Thompson has to come up with a new personal goal for this season. Sweet.

Though he gave up 4 goals, thought UPL actually played pretty well. Maybe he could've had the 2nd goal, but Jokiharju left Oshie completely open at the side. Not sure how Oshie got so open. UPL should've let Joker know he was there, but he didn't. Still not sure who that play was on. But thought that UPL got a little lucky early; Oshie rarely shoots wide and UPL was deep in the net on that 1st odd man rush against and then Ovie shot it more or less into him on the 1st real shot on net. That got UPL's head into it. (Still want an upgrade, but did believe that Ukka Pukka Dukka had a pretty good game.) That drop pass to Power who was going off on a line change. Yikes! A buddy of mine has a saying "one ooops wipes out 100 attaboys." Mittelstadt has to be more aware of the situation there. That said, when Tuch is back, assuming no other F's are brought in, would really like to see Cozens center Mitts and Quinn. Expect the 3 could have really good chemistry together. To keep from making the Krebs line a disaster at that point would give Hinostroza the nod over Peterka in that case. Back in the playoffs (for at least now). Hopefully the Jets and Bolts win in regulation and they Sabres will still be in a playoff spot at the end of the day. (Jets win won't affect whether they're in but how close they are to 7th.)

For today's NHL probably. He didn't get a fight but did get a double minor for roughing.

So Yoda was wrong. When wearing Sith clothes always there are a multiple of 6 goals. Not true, unless being multiplied by 7/6. ;)

Playoffs?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Prior to Covid they were donated to charity. (The ones that weren't reclaimed after the game, that is.) Expect now they are simply thrown out.

Noboby on today's roster is getting sent down. Tuch won't be back until after the trade deadline. Only roster limit at that point is it must be cap compliant. Sabres could add the entire Caps team and do that.

The goalie lost his blade and Skinner shot it into him. FFS.

Hattie!

The announcement that he was day to day said he'd been playing through an injury. Expect it was more of an issue from the Paul crosscheck the night before. (Though the Verhaegae cross check certainly didn't help.)

There was a much higher likelihood of Asplund getting claimed had he been waived. Asplund may possibly be part of the future. Hinostroza won't be back next year. Now that Hinostroza is back up, if they don't bring in a F this week, after Tuch is back might take Peterka's spot in the lineup. They weren't going to demote Peterka back to the A, but now that they have a player that might bring more than him on the roster, JJ might find himself in the pressbox for a game or 2.

He brought in Hinostroza, who happens to be filling in today. He aslo brought in Pilut and Clague (along with Lyubushkin). He adequately had the F's reinforced to cover a ST injury. Obviously as a 7/8 is getting regular game play, he didn't adequately reinforce the D. That said, by the end of the day they can be back in a playoff spot. He's done some things right.

Possibly. Of course Marek and Friedman were saying last night that a lot of GMs believe there is a "glut er surplus" of available D-men that will move at the deadline. If so, the price will go down if anything at the deadline as the sellers find they aren't getting their price.

He'll turn 30 in January of that 1st contract year.

Nothing easy is ever appreciated. This run to the playoffs will have been earned and appreciated. ;)

Granato doesn't often match lines. Expecting he does today. Thought he'd stick Power with Clague, but other than that he's done a pretty good job of making chicken salad.

Demko to Buffalo would be a good thing. At the cost of UPL and fluff, please make it happen now. Not a chance in hell Peterson will ever be a Sabre as long as Adams is the GM.

Still expect him to bring in a legit 3rd pairing guy for a 3rd or a 4th. Maybe now that Dahlin might be having limited availability he'll bring in a 2nd one as well. We'll know within the next 5 days.
