They really have to IMO, the roster after Ennis and Hodgson is like a donut.

‏@TSNBobMcKenzie No question target is 50-game, not 48-game, season. Speculation is it would be 5 games vs 4 division rivals and 3 games vs 10 Conf

@kevinoDandC Do #Sabres put T.J. Brennan ($550,000 salary) on waivers, or keep him in NHL and make room another way (waiving a $2 million salary)? @kevinoDandC #Sabres face difficult decision with D-man T.J. Brennan. Already have 8 D on NHL roster. Brennan now must clear waivers to play for #Amerks.

@TSNBobMcKenzie Huberdeau will be in FLA camp, Ryan Murphy in CAR camp, Morgan Rielly in TOR camp, Mikhail Grigorenko will get a look in BUF camp.

Good points but after Ennis and Hodgson, there's no Center worth mentioning on the roster. Guess well see what develops after the short camp.

I want Grigorenko and Vanek together.

Great to hear that, Thanks.

Disagree on Marrone, He was pursued by Browns, Eagles, Chargers and possibly Bears too. Very well regarded around the NFL.

@TSNBobMcKenzie NHL GMs, as well as OHL, WHL and QMJHL, are still waiting to hear what rules are for calling up signed prospects from junior (CHL).

@RealKyper Note on new #CBA compliance buyouts. #NHL clubs can use the 2 buyouts over the next 2 summers only. Also option to use both buyouts at once

I want Grigs in camp and on the roster to begin the season.

@RealKyper Told no sign of momentum slowing dwn btween #NHLPA #NHL as of 4:30am est. Many pleasantly surprised wee hrs finally time 4 real negotiation @TSNBobMcKenzie In case you haven't followed @DarrenDreger's or @Real_ESPNLeBrun's updates, NHL and PA still making progress in marathon bargaining session.

@TheFourthPeriod NHL moves off $60M on Yr2 cap, goes to $62.5M. Unsure if NHLPA has moved off $65M... Meanwhile, PA reiterates to members there's no deal yet Come on boys, Compromise and get this deal done.

@Real_ESPNLeBrun Told that NHL finally moved off $60 M year 2 cap, however, still not enough for players

‏@SabresProspects Andrey Makarov backstops the Russians to the bronze medal with 40 saves, finishes tourney with a .933 save% and 2.99 GAA @SabresProspects Mikhail Grigorenko named one of Russia's Top 3 Players for the tourney. Grigo: 7gp 2-4-6, +4, 33 SOG, 48.5% faceoffs (65W-69L).

@AmerksHockey Girgensons cut down the left wing boards, darted toward the net and flipped a back-hander to the top right corner of the net. Sounds like a nice move by Girgs.

Sabres fans, coaches surely like WJC performances

Kevin Devine's and Darcy's went up quickly. Kudos to them.
