Sabres have to make move when Mair returns

Quote:
Here's a look at which players could be affected:

Kennedy. The rookie from South Buffalo would not need to clear waivers to reach Portland. It would be an easy move, but not necessarily the right one. He played well in camp and the opener. Two miscues cost him ice time in the third period, but Ruff likes his puck skills and tenacity. And remember what Regier said about "convenience."

Matt Ellis. He has been consistent on the fourth line, but he could be sent down to the AHL. The Sabres passed him through waivers without problems last season before he came back and played well. He's a gritty two-way player and team-first guy who fits their current system, which is a big plus for him.

Henrik Tallinder or Toni Lydman. Joined at the hip in terms of contract and pending unrestricted free agency, Buffalo could decide to waive one of them. Tallinder seems the better candidate. If another team made a claim, his salary comes off the books. Clearing waivers would mean being on the hook for the full salary for either. Lydman is expected back in the lineup Thursday.

Daniel Paille. The former first-round pick was a healthy scratch for the opener, which was not a good sign after a summer of trade speculation. He's only 25, makes $1.35 million and is a restricted free agent. The Sabres could try getting him to Portland, but it comes with the risk of another team grabbing him.

Nathan Paetsch. His dual work at forward and defense works for him and against him. He hasn't been able to crack the top four lines or top three defense pairings with regularity. However, he's capable of playing anywhere and can save the Sabres a roster move in a pinch.

Clarke MacArthur. The left winger gives the Sabres some skill on the second line, but he lacks the physical edge they desire. He's too good for the AHL, not consistent enough so far for the NHL. They could take a chance and ship him to Portland.

Tyler Myers. Technically, the Sabres could send him back to junior. It's unfathomable. He's already one of their better defenseman and will only improve as the season goes along.


I like Ellis, Myers and Kennedy a lot. MacArthur's alright. I'm not sure I would miss Paetsch or Paille.

Pack your bags you unfortunate looking motherfucker, you're going to Boston. Hopefully Razzleberry won't be to hard on you.

Now the question should be, who comes back when Mair goes?
