DiPenta and McCormick both have 2 ways so they're pretty well set in Portland. Unless Gerbe or Kennedy light the world on fire in Camp / Preseason, I think what you see what you get. Unless of course, Stafford is traded for Nate Horton, since that rumor is all the rage right now. On an unrelated note...I wonder if Myers gets the 10 game tryout before getting sent back to Juniors, since he can't be sent to the AHL this year. Ought to be interesting.

I think DiPenta will start in Portland (he signed a 2-way contract right?) and with two goalies that gives us a 23 man roster. Gerbe, Weber and Kennedy stay in Portland, Myers stays in juniors. No doubt guys will get hurt this year as they always do, and it's nice that we have some guys down in Portland who will be ready to step right in, but don't expect them to start the season in Buffalo. This also gives Darcy the chance to wait and see if he can get any good offers on Hecht or Tallinder. Maybe one of them has a hot start, maybe some other team is really thin on D and has some injuries. I think the Sabres stay where they are to start the season. I don’t think anyone needs to be moved.
