Dont burn a year of JJ send him home in 5 games 

[Crusader1969]

Let them play!! Let them play!!

Great opportunity for Krebs and JJ to get a few games in

Would rather have Cozens in tonight's lineup.

But very interested to see what Peterka & Krebs can do.

Gotta be tough for Jack Quinn, Who at the time of getting his illness, was the leading scorer in the AHL.  His time will come, soon, just sucks that he has to watch his buds get the call before him.  I’m sure he’s thrilled for them too.

What the Sabres allowed to carry for a taxi squad?

Should I be surprised that those lines make perfect sense?

All three have been put in a position where they can succeed.

Actually really makes this one an interesting watch.

Also, the Amerks are in trouble.

Brawndo has a thing in the "League Hits Pause" thread on page 3.  maximum of 6 players on the taxi squad with all sorts of caveats.

[Doohicksie]

Peterka-Thompson-Tuch
Asplund-Ruotsalainen-Olofsson
Murray-Krebs-Okposo
Bjrok-Eakin-Hayden

To put this into perspective, the bolded forwards in the lineup above played in the last game; this lineup does *not* include the following forwards from the last game:

Cozens, Girgensons, Hinostroza, Jankowski, Skinner are on the Covid list (or otherwise injured, but I think they're all Covid).

This team will find out how much Hinostroza means to this team 😉

Seriously though:  I'd rather see Cozens between JJ and Tuch, but Thompson should be fine.  Krebs is, as @dudacek mentions, in a position to succeed (or at least be protected).  I hope Artuu is up to the task between Asplund and Olofsson; that is the line I worry most about, especially if they get 2nd line opposition.

Came here to say exactly this.

If they choose to do a taxi squad, I think the callups are all on it (i.e., they're only with the Sabres due to Covid and when players clear protocol they will bounce down to taxi squad).  I don't think that's what management wants to do though; they want those guys playing big minutes, not waiting for someone to test Covid positive.  It will be interesting to see what develops.

Also taxi squad:  One of UPL/Subban/Anderson/Tokarski once Anderson and Toker can play.  This will actually be a benefit to the Sabres to carry three goalies considering their situation.

Forgot Tuch is ready to go too.  Should be fun.

I think I read somewhere yesterday that it is five skaters and a goaltender.

Which game?  Most of them are archived, but the search function is pretty bad.

The Sabres play the Devils and Isles next. The two teams they are chasing for 12th place in point percentage.
