Gameday - Sabres at Devils
Nov 3, 2008 NHL
The Sabres travel to the Rock tonight to take on the wounded Devils at 7pm. Martin Brodeur is out as previously mentioned, but I still haven’t seen any further details on just how long that will be. Brian Rolston, Andy Greene and a few others are already down. All this while the Sabres continue to get healthier, witness Tim Connolly returning to play 19 minutes last game.
Buffalo will be trying to put together two good game after playing two stinkers before the 5-0 drubbing of the Caps. If I’m able, I’ll update any lineup changes or injury news here throughout the day.

Pre-UFA Player Movement
Jun 30, 2008 NHL
Free Agency starts tomorrow, but several names are already off the market. The rights to Gary Roberts and Ryan Malone were traded from the Pens to the Lightning, with both players signing new deals (Malone 7 years, $31.5 million, Roberts 1 year, $1.2 million). The Lightning also acquired the rights to negotiate with Brian Rolston of the Wild. Colorado re-signed Adam Foote and Jean-Michael Liles, taking away two more D-men for the Sabres to pursue. Lubomir Visnovsky was also traded to the Oilers, in exchange for Jarret Stoll and Matt Greene. I know there are still plenty of possibilities, but there are times I wish the Sabres were in the mix for some of this.
