At this point, I don't see any of those 3 going back, they all have been playing well. I think it is more realistic they would waive Porter or McCormick.
Zadorov to get a game soon

I used to be a pretty big supporter of his but he hasn't been good at all lately. Where he is on the last year of his contract and I highly doubt we think about bringing him back, I can see him being waived in favor of the younger guys.

No you misunderstand... I would gladly see Porter glued to the 4th line or waived in favor of the young kids.
It just seems that RonRol values Porter a lot more than us as fans do. That's why Porter's not getting waived. Thats the jest I was trying to make.

They arent going to waive a player just to give Zadorov a game or two.
If McCormick is hurt they could IR him for 7 days and then give Zadorov some games. Them move McBain to RW to cover a 4th line forward spot.

He may have meant carry 7 defenders and just have mcbain take up the 4th line rw spot, not sure though

Winner, winner!
Such a horrible coaching decision. Kid has been very solid for a rookie, and been one of our more physical players. If we were a contender this would be understandable. As the 2nd youngest team in a full rebuild (even if some want to call it a retool), they should be developing the new young core.
- Sit them once to correct glaring issues (not the case with RR)
- Sit them in favor of experienced vets to make a playoff run (not the case with Sabres)

Hello.
it's like Ron Rolston is telling them "sorry kid, but we can only have so many Europeans in the lineup"

One of Hamilton's tweets was Rolston said no to Mccormick going to IR. In that case, I would assume Ristolainen will be sent down.

That is what I meant..... They dress 7 Dmen and occasionally run McBain on the 4 th line. They only play the 4th about 7 minutes. Then use McBain as a PP point man and then give him a few shifts as a Dmen during ES
The times when the coach needs to Zadorov more thus skip a shft, have McBain replace him.

They would just send down one of the waiver exempt players down for a couple days. It won't be Risto.

#Sabres roster moves: Defenseman Nikita Zadorov has been added to playing roster. Rasmus Ristolainen has been assigned to Rochester.

Probably just a procedural move like you're intimating.Makes sense. Rasmus probably won't even make the trip to Roch
Yup, they probably just told him "Hey, we want to get Nikita in a game before he goes back to London - sit this one out, you'll be in there next game."

what I hope is happening, Risto in AHL until he proves dominent
What is probably happening, Risto in AHL until Zadorov 's 9 game tryout is over and he is sent to juniors
