From Jerry Sullivan’s latest: “Dmitri Kalinin will be gone, the latest Sabre to walk with nothing coming in return.” Really? While technically true, I’m curious what he would have brought in return last season. And “They should bring in a couple of tough, veteran “D” to bolster the blue line.” [snip] “…it seems even more [...]

Among the news items that came out of the Sabres press conference with Tim Kennedy today was the announcement by Darcy Regier that Dmitri Kalinin will not be offered a contract, making him a free agent. I can’t believe there are many Sabres fans who are depressed by this news. Still, Kalinin has been a [...]

With the impending return of defenseman Dmitri Kalinin on Wednesday night, the Sabres will finally field the team they envisioned since the beginning of the year. Even Teppo Numminen has positive news of late, and I would imagine the Sabres will see him on the ice, barring unforeseen developments, by the beginning of February. This [...]

According to WGR550, the Buffalo Sabres have added defenseman Nolan Pratt to the roster. Teppo Numminen is still recovering from his heart surgery and Dmitri Kalinin is out with a knee injury, so the team only has five healthy NHL-caliber defensemen.

I heard on XM Home Ice today that the Sabres had Nolan Pratt in for tryout.

The Sabres called up defenseman Mike Weber from Rochester but I would be surprised if he is the long term answer to the Sabres needs....
