@HARBORCTR Martin Biron [@martybiron43] joins HARBORCENTER Academy of Hockey as Director of Goaltending

That bone headed D zone pass attempt to Weber might be reason enough for Flynn to have a seat. Not to mention his line with Foligno and Girgensons was a non factor against Florida. Leino's in the lineup most likely as he practiced on the 2nd line yesterday as the RW.

Was thinking the same thing. Although, he was assigned to the Amerks in/after the preseason.

@SabresPR The Buffalo Sabres today announced the team has recalled forward Phil Varone from the Rochester Americans (AHL). @SabresPR The team also announced it has assigned defenseman Brayden McNabb and forward Kevin Porter to Rochester.

With more rosters moves looming: @kevinoDandC #Amerks leading scorer Phil Varone indeed has been called up by the #Sabres. Varone finally gets callup to the NHL ‏@BuffaloSabres MORE: Brayden McNabb and Kevin Porter have been assigned to @AmerksHockey (AHL). @SabresPR The Buffalo Sabres today announced the team has recalled forward Phil Varone from the Rochester Americans (AHL).
