Sabres' lines and pairs at practice:

Peterka - Thompson - Tuch
Aube-Kubel/Kulich - Cozens - Quinn
Zucker - McLeod - Greenway
Malenstyn - Krebs - Lafferty

Dahlin - Jokiharju
Byram - Power
Samuelsson - Clifton
Gilbert - Bryson

Jordan Greenway and Bo Byram are on the Sabres' second power-play unit during practice.

Another sign that Aube-Kubel is returning against the Panthers and Kulich will be out.

Owen Power is dealing with an illness, Lindy Ruff confirmed, and seemed to get through practice OK.

Nicolas Aube-Kubel will return against the Panthers, but the Sabres' coaches haven't decided yet which line he'll be on.

I heard he's not a center

still not good on the dot

Diontae Johnson on the trade block

he is an upgrade over samuel or hollins

per Hamilton, which is a different take from the guy who has a friend who played div 1


"Luukkonen played in his third-straight game. He certainly wasn’t awful"

Yes he is, they were looking at him the same time as Cooper. It's the money, he still owed 5 or 6 mill

back to back friday and saturday

play 6k tomorrow (3 straight wins) and give levi one of the back to back games

Constantly blaming just the gm 100% is stupid and ridiculous.

When they lose you blame the gm, when they win, he deserves credit . Pretty simple

It takes time to build a fractured franchise from scratch
- Boss34

The gm is responsible for what he does or doesn't acquire in based on what the team needs. A 6 game stretch doesn't prove this franchise isn't still fractured.

Our second line needs help, something we hope a 20 year old can do and something an injured 19 year old is being counted on to do for players that are 22 and 23

Good thing our two 1st overall dmen are relying on 23 and 24 year olds to guide them

How much more time?

You aren’t getting another top 4 d man. It took Adams 2 years to get Bryam.

As for another forward. We have benson. Kulich and Krebs fighting for winger ice time.

The top 6 forward isn’t coming with thag log jam
- Sabretooth9

This has been a core problem for the Sabres since Adams took over.

Instead of signing quality veterans forwards or defenseman that would push their core players down a line/pair, they act like that's something sacred they cannot do.

Other quality teams don't seem to have a problem getting players that are good enough to move one or more of their existing players down a line or pair.

Good thing because his other deals haven't aged well

That'll be about 2.5 weeks from his last game. Think it's an interesting call tomorrow. He was just OK yesterday.

Going to need Levi in November, busier month.

Great answer!

I asked Lindy Ruff after practice today how the Sabres' coaches send a message to a player who overextends a shift.

His answer didn't disappoint:

another issue is our first round picks/assets krebs, kulich, rosen, etc can't even overtake zucker or greenway

top 32 picks johnson and samuelsson cant overtake joker in the lineup

3 straight wins trumps the stench from the cbus game


gotta keep rolling and if it was levi with three straight wins, I would be saying to throw him back out there monday

we went from 1-4-1 to 4-4-1

keep on rolling

Levi should be in Rochester playing games. He needs to play to keep developing. Sitting on the bench for 2 or 3 weeks does him No good.
