Sabres Opening Day Roster

[Brawndo]

 

[Thorny]

Didn’t even know Power was hurt. 

1 right shot Dman. Excellent 

[LGR4GM]

Wonder what that Bernard-Docker guy is up to for no reason whatsoever. 

[ponokasabre]

I bet Kozak goes down when Greenway is back

Johnson/Bryson goes down when Power comes back

likely Georgiev goes on waivers when Kesserling is back.

 

Then when UPL comes back it will be a tough call, so many will say Geertsen goes down, but I dont think they do that. I do assume UPL is a long term thing here

 

[dudacek]

Power on IR is unexpected.

Gotta think he and/or Kesselring have to be close and this is prudent paperwork.

Or are they really OK with being one undercooked piece of chicken from starting Mason Geertsen on D?

Yay, Bryson is back in the lineup. I know we're down two d men but still. And we have a silly goalie rotation yet again. How anyone can take ka seriously is beyond me

There is only 6 defensemen listed on the roster so ya my thought is likely Power is good to go soon. And they will just kick the can down the road for sending someone down

 

Likely they get Ellis in to practice on Wednesday, Power tests it and is G2G, then they make a corresponding move then. Likely Georgiev on waivers

I will say its insane we didnt claim Thrun or Middleton just to come in and take a spot for a week or two

6 defensemen and 3 goalies. Take a wild guess where the space is made for the 7th defenseman. 

[GASabresIUFAN]

This roster is a joke.  14 forwards?  3 bad goalies.  Only 6 D highlighted by Bryson and Johnson.

To a dark place this line of thought will carry us.

[Gatorman0519]

Yikes. Will 85 points be considered an overachievement?

[CallawaySabres]

Man, this is going to be one crappy ride, ugh. That roster just screams come stomp on us.

[Eleven]

They're going to dress three ***** goalies instead of two?

Johnson belongs, Bryson can’t leave soon enough.

[RangerDave]

I wonder if it's too late for me to try out for the team?  I'm in my 60's, can't skate, and have a strained knee, but maybe they need a 4th goalie?

[Big Guava]

JFC this team is a walking medical unit

One for each period

[GASabresIUFAN]

What is the vision for the roster?  

I get the injuries to Power and Kesselring jumbled the D group, but Lyon, Georgiev and Ellis in net?  

I get pick by up Ellis.  His AHL numbers are very good and he wasn’t displacing Binnington but why keep Georgiev?  
 

Why does Geersten bring?  He hasn’t played in the NHL is 3-4 years.  I like Kozak, but where does he fit?
