Sabres Stuff
Aug 5, 2008 NHL
NHL.com has a look at the Sabres current prospects, including Gragnani, Gerbe, Ennis, and so on. It’s a good read if you are trying to get a feel for who all will be filling out the Portland roster this year.
Speaking of Portland, Kevin Dineen will stay on as coach of the Portland Pirates, the new Sabres affiliate.
Buffalo also announced the signing of a few depth players who will most likely help fill out the AHL roster. Colton Fretter and Colin Murphy (along with another recent signee, Mathieu Darche) should all be filling roles for the Pirates.

Portland Pirates Coach
Jul 26, 2008 NHL
The Portland Press Herald has an extremely detailed report on the coaching situation for the Sabres’ AHL affiliate, the Portland Pirates. Since Randy Cunneyworth joined the Atlanta Thrashers staff, Buffalo has switched gears and is talking to Kevin Dineen, who coached the Pirates for the past three seasons. Dineen is also in the running to coach the Ducks’ new affiliate (the now-famous Iowa Chops) or become a scout with Anaheim. The Ducks were the parent club for Portland last year.
