On Baker and Fairburn Hockey Show they mentioned the PP might be composed of the regular lines to help prevent the disruption of the game when the PP is over. Not sure I agree with that line of thinking 

The only real change that they'd need to do to work that is bump Krebs off PP2 (PP3?) and put Wahlberg there.  Follow up with either the Krebs line or the Kozak line and the Russians and no issues with lines getting juggled.

And it's not like Krebs is going to get a legit look at the PP early in the season anyhow unless they have a lot of injuries.

Are the Sabres eliminated yet?

The bubble plus Byram and Power. No Johnson hmm

Johnson and Rosén are the conspicuous ones missing. But... both had good showings in the scrimmage, so they're getting an extra look with the top squad next game, perhaps.

It's a pretty predictable lineup.

You're going to see the required number of NHLers and half the fringe guys in each of the early exhibitions, with the bigger name NHLers in the home games.

Johnson and Rosen are 2 pieces Buffalo should consider moving.

Probably a low round pick or low level prospect would be the return

I agree they should move on from them as neither looks like an NHL regular.  I’m just leery how the Sabres would accomplish it. I guess just pick the dumbest most senseless way and that’s what this team will do. 

[steveoath]

It’s always the way, 2nd stringers away from home. Does that actually help the main squad at all??

definitely not more enjoyable than the NFL.

NHL preseason vs NFL preseason?   I'll take NHL preseason 100% of the time over the NFL.

Even when I was a big NFL fan, when I 'liked' it more than hockey, I always dreaded their preseason games. Soooooo boring.

Unless you are assessing the new players on the Bills, preseason is a snooze.

[LGR4GM]

Georgiev will get periods 1&2 and Levi will get period 3.

Haha...no NFL regular season 😂 

NFL pre-season isn't even watchable most times
