At least bryson remains a sabre, don't want to risk a claim by sending him to Rochester. He's a very hot commodity.

Stupid Roster management. It's like why sign one of Jost, Okposo and Girgs when you can get all 3. One would have been more than enough. Now we have 2 lines incaple of scoring - the Okposo line and the 4th line, which Granato refuses to play.

Okposo and Krebs on PP2 is also brilliant. Got to prevent those SH goals.

A lof of what KA has done looks very good, but a lot of what they do with the roster, lines and playing time makes no sense

Adams just made the Easy decision

Would love to hear him discuss it. Why Benson could stay and Savoie couldn't.

I am really not surprised, I am waiting for the Benson decision. Think he's proven he can play up here, more interested to see what happens when that decision needs to be made. Getting hurt to me made the decision easy for Adams on Savoie. He got to keep him here a bit longer and all the Training staff got a extra month and a half with him. Sabres can only fan dangle there lineup so much.

Savoie sent to juniors.

Looks like Sammy’s roster spot

That is what I was thinking too. Just a numbers problem

when a young team is trying to find it's way to break though and make the playoffs

options are a good thing


adams dismissed this option before it had a chance to avoid having to waive olofsson or bryson

That's it right there homie, no wiggle room. He had his roster locked by July 10th. No room for a kid to take that next step and 13mill wasted on 1yr contracts

Numbers problem: how do you keep 2 guys you have no intetion of playing and 3 more that you'll only play 4 minutes a game?

If he wanted to take a real look at Savoie, but didn't because he needs to keep Johnson up and wouldn't waive anyone, that would be pathetic.

Why is Bryson here, Rousek could have made his way down. I think you already know it's pathetic.

Nothing like a good Corn Bread, especially in a Cast Iron Skillet.

Asked that before, but also keeps E.Johnson off the ice 5vs5 for the most part. Gotta find some good with the bad.

E. Johnson is not the Rosetta Stone of the improved penalty kill.
