Do you know what Norris and Tuch's status are for the next game?

It’s ridiculous to have these guys fly all the way to the west coast just for one game. They could have given Kuntar another game then make the move when they get home.

You are forgetting about the genius we have running the franchise.

Maybe they were smart enough to keep him with the team and only sending him down on paper

So... gonna guess Norris won't play and they want a center.

Norris is recovering from “illness”

He's cheap, he's too involved, he's not involved enough....

Kevyn’s doing everything he can until the end.

Probably has nothing to do with it but Ruff was upset Östlund was sent down. Maybe this is a sign Adams is done and Ruff has the power.

But if Tuch is good to go, the Sabres are probably better off shipping Kuntar back.

I think he may have an NHL future, but nothing more than a bottom 6 guy.

Oh come on, they gave him a rookie lap and then 5 full minutes of ice time. 

I hope the guy at least got a good meal in Van. They do have some decent restaurants. It's a nice city to visit.

I honestly think that was a favor from GMKA to the (local) family. Adams knows he's on his way out. Two-way contract gets him a game and it doesn't cost much if anything. Kind of classy, actually.

That’s more ice time than Savoie got.

Östlund gives them a better chance to win, which is what Lindy wants. KA is busy on-line, house hunting in Jacksonville.

Norris and Tuch are on the ice for practice today in Seattle

Oh sure, Östlund showed he can play and is a probable NHLer. He's better than Quinn imo. I just don't see the point of flying Kuntar in across country for 5 minutes of one game against a bottom feeder team. If it was in Buffalo and he just drove in from Rochester sure, why not. But this was silly.
