GASabresIUFAN Posted October 11, 2021 Author Report Posted October 11, 2021 Biro sent down and AJF waived. JJP still up. Hayden and Eakin still in Buffalo. Forwards still in camp Guys making the roster (11): Asplund, Mitts, KO, VO, Thompson, Caggiula, Girgensons, Hinostroza, R2, Bjork, and Skinner. Guys possibly on the bubble (4): Hayden, Eakin, Cozens, and JJP. I'd like them to keep everyone but Eakin. Quote
LabattBlue Posted October 11, 2021 Report Posted October 11, 2021 (edited) It wouldn’t bother me one bit if both JJP and Cozens are both sent down. This team is going to be bad…really bad. Edited October 11, 2021 by LabattBlue Quote

Roster has to set tomorrow and they didn’t waive Eakin or Hayden. The only way to get to 23 is sending a waiver exempt player down or making a trade. 1 Quote

Bryson also I think I highly doubt they’re sending Cozens down, and if they send Bryson downs they’d only have 6 D. Edited October 11, 2021 by Amerks8796 Quote

Really doubt Bryson goes down either, but they have plenty of time to make moves before their opener on Thursday should they be short a D-man or whatever tomorrow. 3 Quote
GASabresIUFAN Posted October 11, 2021 Author Report Posted October 11, 2021 Also does management want Bryson sitting in Buffalo or playing big minutes in Roch 1 Quote
LabattBlue Posted October 11, 2021 Report Posted October 11, 2021 Tage at center is a friggin joke. Shame on Adams for handing Granato this heaping steaming pile of crap. Quote

Shame on Adams for handing Granato this heaping steaming pile of crap. Pretty sure you are talking in big picture terms here. Looking at the pile of crap though, I thought he looked good there in the preseason and got better as the games progressed. From listening to Donnie, Id be surprised if he’s not at centre opening night. Edited October 11, 2021 by dudacek 1 1 Quote
Doohicksie Posted October 11, 2021 Report Posted October 11, 2021 Part of Thompson's issue with the Sabres up until now is that he floated/disappeared. Since the move to center that simply isn't an option and he's been more fully involved with the play. TAGE THOMPSON WILL BE FINE AT CENTER. 2 Quote
dudacek Posted October 12, 2021 Report Posted October 12, 2021 So the final roster and my best guess of the lines based on what we’ve seen in camp Skinner Mittelstadt Hinostroza Bjork Cozens Olofsson Asplund Thompson Ruotsalainen Caggiula Girgensons Okposo Hayden Eakin The Mitts line is pretty set I think, Donnie wants Girgs at centre and I think he’ll reunite Kyle with him. Tage looks like he’ll stay at centre for a while and I think Cozens/Oli will get a chance to happen. Quote
triumph_communes Posted October 12, 2021 Report Posted October 12, 2021 (edited) I take a look at the roster and wonder how much coaching and culture can change things cause it sure ain’t talent. Edited October 12, 2021 by triumph_communes Quote

Thorner Posted October 12, 2021 Report Posted October 12, 2021 This was the lineup in practice: 53 Jeff Skinner - 37 Casey Mittelstadt - 29 Vinnie Hinostroza 74 Rasmus Asplund - 72 Tage Thompson - 71 Victor Olofsson 28 Zemgus Girgensons - 20 Cody Eakin - 21 Kyle Okposo 96 Anders Bjork - 24 Dylan Cozens - 91 Drake Caggiula 77 JJ Peterka - 25 Arttu Ruotsalainen - 15 John Hayden Casey is the 1C, Eakin is the checking line C Quote

GASabresIUFAN Posted October 12, 2021 Author Report Posted October 12, 2021 I'll reserve judgement until Thursday, but the line combos posted above are well stupid. Hayden with JJP and R2? Really. Eakin even playing. Using what they listed, I think this makes much more sense. Skinner Mitts Hinostroza Bjork R2 Cozens Asplund Thompson VO Caggiula Girgensons KO Quote

I think he might do well with them. JJ would have been nice there, IMO, but I get sending him down Quote

Look I'm not exactly a cheerleader for the squad KA created, but I'm hopeful they'll play hard each night with DG as coach and they'll out play their preseason ranking. Quote
