2013-14 Training Camp

[Djp]

Wait, so the deadline is already over? There were a couple of conflicting posts on this before and I'm getting confused because of the timezones. Can someone please clarify this?

Ive heard of different reports the deadline was Monday 5pm ET or 3pm ET.....but the players need to go through waivers 24 hrs before they clear.

The deadline is Monday...but waiver deadline for waiver players is today.

For nonwaiver players they can decide at the last minute.

 

[JLewyB]

today was the last day for waivers so any player who needed to clear waivers had to be put on waivers by today or else they will could against the teams 23 man roster, so Porter, McCormick ect.. have made the Sabres, guys like Girgensons, Larsson and Flynn can still be assigned before the roster needs to be submited because they are waiver exempt.

I believe they have until 5pm today to waive players since the deadline isn't until 5pm tomorrow.

edit: what djp said.

Waivers don't work like that. They're at noon every day.

 

[Sabresfansince1980]

Yeah, everyone that could be put on waivers had to be there by 12 noon today, so that they can clear or be claimed by noon Monday. Teams then have from noon to 5pm Monday to finalize rosters.

 

[joshjull]

They still may cut 2 more. They don't have to keep 14 forwards.

I doubt they would have waived a player if they didn't have to

 

[sabrefan27]

I agree, I assume they keep 14 forwards. But it's no guarantee.

 

[ADoubleD]

I think that's more of an exception than the norm, though. I'm not saying it wouldn't work out, but I'd probably bet against it in McBain's case.

I'd add that we already have forwards who can fill in that spot. They'd have Flynn fill in in that spot before McBain. I could maybe see him playing there if we have a lot of injuries, or if they can't get a guy up in time from Rochester for a game.

 

[Chainshot]

Porter not being waived is not really a surprise given how the Amerks assigned his number to Zigomanis.

Foligno started on the ice but is now off and at Amerks camp, Sundher leaves practice and grabs a pile of sticks. Possible move?

Doubtful.
Hopefully Foligno is healthy for the opener if he is still banged up currently and that is why he is off the ice

Possible move for what? Sundher is very far down on the depth chart.

He's referring to a trade

 

[sabrefan27]

He's referring to a trade

Yeah, pretty unlikely. Sunder is day to day with a groin injury.

 

[Paxon]

Yeah, pretty unlikely. Sunder is day to day with a groin injury.

I'm not passing judgment on its likeliness, just clearing up what the original comment was speculating on. I don't see what his place on the depth chart has to do with the speculation.

 

[SabresFan26]

I was only kidding about the trade as Sundher is confirmed injured with a minor groin injury. The Sabres lines at camp make it seem Larsson is coming down to the Amerks. Scott will be a healthy scratch as will McBain. My guess is that if Foligno can go soon than Girgensons will be sent down soon after, unless Flynn or somebody is.

Vanek-Hodgson-Stafford
Ott-Ennis-Leino
Girgensons-Grigorenko-Flynn
Porter-McCormick-Kaleta
Scott, inj Foligno

Tallinder-Myers
Ehrhoff-Pysyk
Weber-Ristolainen
McBain

I thought Larsson looked real strong and that it allowed Ennis on the wing but it appears he is likely headed for Rochester

 

[hizzoner]

This lineup will not score 3 goals or more other than in a handful of games. If our powerplay remains more dangerous against us than for us we are looking at our D and goaltending to keep us close.

It's very possible that Foligno just takes Girgs' spot when he comes back, but I could also see Grigs getting scratched to make room depending on how he's playing, or Flynn back to ROC and Stafford down to the 3rd line to put Foigno with Hodgson and Vanek...especially if Stafford's preseason play was any indication of how he'll start the regular season.

 

[BloFan4Life]

There was some debate going on in this thread about Grigs so I think now that he has been benched it would be a good time to continue the discussion.
