Thompson and Nylander working in while both Girgensons and Pomminstein are evidently in the top 12 is giving me the vapors...

It's a fair assumption that whichever one of Nylander/Thompson doesn't make the 2nd line ends upin the press box, but thatisn't automatic.  Especiallyif Nylander wins that job, I could see Tage getting the nod on the 4th line over Pominville.  (Then he looks at the photo of Jason on the cover of the STH package ... ####, ####, ####.)  OK, so in 2 weeks when Poms has played his way out of the lineup, they can swap spots between 4th line & press box.

competetion between second and third lines to see who scores more goals will be interesting. 

We hope. 

 

There is potential for that race to be very uninteresting....

So it looks like Wilson's injury makes it likely both Thompson and Nylander make the team, if they weren't going to already. There are still 28 players in camp, and that's gotta get down to 23 by Tuesday. If Malone, Hunwick, Wilson, Bogosian, and Hickey start on IR, that's 23, and we may even bring someone that was sent down back up, depending on Larsson.

There were eight D practicing today, 14 forwards before Wilson got hurt.

Both Guhle and Tennyson go down if Bogo is back, I’m betting.

Right, Tennyson cleared waivers but he wasn't sent down yet. So 29 in camp. 

Ya, so one of Guhle/Tennyson is getting cut either way, and potentially both if Bogo comes back, like you said. Unless Larsson isn't ready, then maybe they carry 13 forwards and 8 D, and one or both of Guhle/Tennyson gets to stay, depending again on Bogosian.

The practice lineup

Skinner Jack Samson

Sheary Berglund Thompson/Nylander

Girgensons ERod Pominville

Sobatka Mittelstadt Okposo

 

Should we be reading anything into Casey and Okposo on the 4th line?  Is this a sign the Casey isn’t ready and KO will be as bad as last year?

That isn't the 4th line, that's the 3rd line. They may be listed like that on twitter or wherever, but it's definitely switched

Other than that would give the Sabres a relatively good 4th line & a relatively weak 3rd, not too much IMHO.

It may be an indication that Mitts's line will play the lowest number of minutes.  Maybe not a fourth line in the traditional sense, but low minutes to protect the young center.

Just send him down already

Ill wait until he actually plays a game before assuming the line written 4th won't play many minutes.
