no it's fine, I am genuinely curious how this UPL situation plays out with a healthy roster.

I think Asplund is next to go. Joker is clearly not coming back today. They can keep UPL up until he returns then it's back to waivers for UPL. When they want him to play again, I bet it's Asplund next.

UPL does not require.

And no way they lose a solid roster player for nothing. Asplund would be claimed.

JJ and/or Quinn will be down soon. Its the easiest move and they haven't been doing much lately.

Do we get a receiver from the Steelers as well?

I'd pay a 1st for Claypool.

Oh wait

I know i kinda just short handed it.. I meant loan.

Well the thinking is they keep 1 F, 1 D extra in order to keep UPL up. So it's either Asplund or Hino.

I have no faith they'd expose Bryson. I guess Clague is an option but I don't feel like they'd do that either. Those are their options. The team likes Hino more, I believe.

I would bet my car that neither of those two are sent to Rochester.

You may be right as far as paper loans, though.

They would want more than that you would think...

Mitts, Bryson and a second

They will take path of least resistance and send down one of JJ or Quinn.

-Waiver exempt.
-Doing nothing lately.
-Doesn't risk losing a player for nothing.

I revised my post, but you may be onto something. They may paper loan them.

They will most certainly stay with the team like UPL.

He was traded for a first when he only had a year left on his deal. He now has a year and a half on this contract and I don't see how he has hurt his trade value. Why would he only get a second+ now when he got a first+ not long ago?

I think they have to tonight, if they are determined to play UPL.

Have to think they are trying to make a deal.

Roquon got a 2nd and 5th.. A 1st is steep, so I think Pitt does. Considering their defense is already elite, healthy.
- TheSabresTaco

Edmunds will be a year younger than Roquan and cost a little less on a long term

But you’re probably right

They don't have to do anything more than waive Fitz to Rochester.


They may paper loan Quinn or Peterka so UPL can play next week. They'll loan UPL after the game.

But those 3 are staying with Buffalo.

- Slump Buster

Not saying its hurt his value.

But he does only have a .63ppg this year. After having over a ppg last year

Oh they activated Joker.

Joker takes Fitz's spot.

If UPL starts tonight they have to do another move.

It's not 1 move. He has to clear before they can assign him to Roch...unless there's a trick or some kind of IR curveball.

With the Fitz waive, I don't think this is required.

22/23 roster spots with Fitz waived.

Problem is when Joker comes back.

Have to be Clauge at that point you'd think

I'd pass, I think part of the reason the Panthers are having a disappointing season.... samson reinhart

On the upside, maybe he could play 3c under donnie the center whisperer? Split 2c with cozens?

2nd rounder seems about right though.

I agree with asplund being waived next.

Apparently UPL is sick so Comrie would play and nothing further happens today.

Sabres defenseman Henri Jokiharju is no longer on injured reserve, according to the NHL's media site.

So, Jokiharju takes Casey Fitzgerald's roster spot.

Strange day, let's see how the chips fall.

I expect an odd lineup tonight.

- Lunaion

They can loan JQ or JPP without clearing Fitz but it's irrelevant today because apparently UPL is sick.

yes except it's on the one guy they didn't want it to happen to.

Oh well. Let's see what comrie can do tonight and let's see a little zazz in the defense.

I would expect the kids to sit.

Need some jump and Hino/asplund can provide.

Have a great night fellas and Lets go Buffalo!

Second game of 3 this week for me. Don't think I've been to 3 in one week before
