What's the point of Samuelsson? He's the concept of kassian but as a defender.

There are some athletes in all sports that just seem destined to always be injured

At least Kassian had grit.

Now that Muel is a third pairing defenseman it isn’t a big deal he’s hurt (again). Zac Jones come on down, you’re the next contestant for the Sabres third pair. 
 

lollllllll this quote from Lindy:

"He had a good practice yesterday, and maybe that affected what’s been bothering him a little bit. So, we’ll just see."

I agree. Missing Muel is almost like missing nobody at all.

This is another Adams faux pa, not just the original contract (which was 1000% due to his play being boosted by Dahlin) but the absolute refusal to offload this pylon. Perfect time to buy him out this offseason.  Nope.  He’s a part of the core.  Sigh.  At this point I just have to hope for him to retire due to injury in the near future.  Hate his game, hate his face, hate that he’s still on this team.

I don’t care until he’s injured in the regular season. So give it a month or so.

What is maybe a BIG deal is the fact he’s making $4+ million a year as a third pairing guy who often is unable to play.

Everyone needs to settle down.

He's an alternate captain.   

Hopefully just something minor they don't want to risk aggravating at this point of the pre-season.

He's a key piece moving forward for this franchise.

This is what’s wrong with the Sabres.  Having Samuelsson and Power as key members of “the core” is dragging this franchise into Bolivia. (Thanks Mike).  As long as Adams and Terry are the key talent evaluators, they ain’t winning *****.  I have no hope for this franchise ever.  Hope they move so I can root for the Kraken.

Bolivia has two capitals.  La Paz and Sucre.

Novikov is an RFA after this season for what it's worth. Would be nice to know if he's got the NHL in him before you have to sign him.

If they waive Bryson...  Jones is still there as the 7.

Muel can be counted on to miss a minimum of 15-20 games and some of that could be easily be a looksee for Novikov.
