> Clifton and Johnson weren’t signed to be let go a few months later. Rasmus Dahlin, Owen Power and Mattias Samuelsson are cornerstone players. Someone else in the group will be the odd man out. Adams won’t be in a rush to solve the problem.
– Jacob Bryson -> The Sabres have the option to try to pass Bryson through waivers to send him to Rochester but doing so wouldn’t solve their cap problem. – Ilya Lybushkin -> Adding a pair of right-shot defensemen made Lyubushkin expendable. There were times last season when he performed like an above-average third-pair defenseman. – Riley Stillman -> It seems unlikely that Buffalo will walk away from Stillman after trading Josh Bloom. However, Stillman has been on four teams in three years. – Henri Jokiharju -> The Sabres might be forced to trade Jokiharju in the future because he’ll be due a raise as a restricted free agent next summer.

I think Bryson is the odd man out. He didn’t look strong enough to be an NHL regular.
