That might blow the #1 pick. Doesn't fit the plan. He'll get dealt to a contending team looking for offense from the blueline.

ISS Top 30 - November 2013 Sam Reinhart and Aaron Ekblad maintain full control of rankings #1 and #2 in our November release of the ISS Top 30. Joshua Ho-Sang is biggest gainer, rising 12 positions to #14.

It's a great trade for the Panthers if their plan is to "out tank" the Sabres and/or any other team.

@GeorgeRichards #FlaPanthers have traded Kris Versteeg back to the Chicago Blackhawks @mirtle Full trade: Kris Versteeg and Phillippe Lefebrve to Chicago for Jimmy Hayes and Dylan Olsen. @TSNBobMcKenzie FLA's retention of half of Versteeg's salary is not just for this season, it's for the balance of Versteeg's contract. @TSNBobMcKenzie Versteeg earns $4.6M with cap hit of $4.4M this season. Two more yrs after that, earning $4.7M with $4.4M cap hit. So FLA retains 50% of it.

Suspended players are allowed to practice with the team. Him being on ice means nothing WRT being suspended.

‏@AmerksHockey Chadd Cassidy addresses the media about yesterday’s #Sabres news and the upcoming weekend: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9zVQiv6v-w&feature=youtu.be

TBN: Nolan offers players clean slate but gives lukewarm appraisal of practice, team's conditioning Ted Nolan took over yesterday, hustled off the dais into some sweats and hit the ice to basically watch the Buffalo Sabres practices. Assistants, notably Joe Sacco, ran a bunch of drills. Nolan really took over today. His whistle was going nonstop and his voice echoed through First Niagara Center. There was tempo, chatter, sticks banging on the ice. It wasn't what anyone has seen around here when Ron Rolston was in charge. But don't think Nolan was satisfied because he wasn't. "It went OK,' Nolan said. "We've got a lot of work to do. The biggest thing is to get these guys to feel good about themselves. If you feel good about yourself, you'll get better."

62 games. It's going to be interesting to say the least. Looking fwd to seeing Girgs at C.

@BuffaloSabres "What happened in the first 20 games is over with, it's done." -Nolan, who adds every player stat starts at zero #Sabres

Here's to you being right. :beer: @ChrisRyndak Girgensons doing work at center between Ott and Ennis. #sabres

If this is a preview of things to come, then it's time for Larsson to Roch, Grigs to the Q, and Baby Z to London. No sense in having those guys in the Press Box.

@BillHoppeNHL Sabres already practicing with more tempo and noise.

@BNHarrington The lines are Moulson-Hodgson-Stafford, Ott-Ennis-Girgensons, Leino-Foligno-Flynn and Scott-McCormick-Tropp.

@BillHoppeNHL Early, but Johan Larsson and Mikhail Grigirenko appear to be the spare forwards. #Sabres

Missed it, Thanks

Would love it if they sacked Sacco and hired Craig Ramsey as an Assistant.
