Happy Veteran's Day.

Sabres 4
Punguins 1

Both RyJo and Savoie get their 1st NHL goals, assuming they both play.

Solid Brad! Happy to see R. Johnson take off like he has, gives us a solid 5 of 6 on the backend if Samuelsson can stay Healthy.

They just 'played' him for a game to not get in trouble for the conditioning assingment.

Why bother sending him to Rochester for a conditioning stint if they were never going to give him a real look in the NHL?

Thought the issue with his Junior team was resolved a few weeks ago.

I don't get it.

His Juniors team is holding its own to being without Savoie and Benson. Think there in 2nd or 3rd place in there division. It was the easy decision for Adams

They did Savoie dirty damn.

Should have least given the kid a fair shake and a few more games before sending him down.

Aren't some AHL games more beneficial to him?

I mean Savoie has dropped 90+ points 2 seasons in a row in the WHL.

I’m sure being around NHL players and the conditioning stint will benefit him to an extent moving forward but 4 minutes in a game then sent down is wowza

Rehab in the pros. Probably already thought he needed another year but might as well get him what they can in Roch. Didn't want him to get hurt last night maybe?

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
