Well according to John Vogl Teppo is back at practice! That coupled with the fact Kalinin and Tallinder could go by Friday. The Sabres defense is getting rather healthy rather quickly. Which means what happens next? Teppo won't be back very soon, he still has to get into condition and a little game shape. But who sits when the other two come back.
Obviously, Lydman, Campbell, Spacek stay. But what about the other three Pratt, Sekera and Paetsch. One stays in the other two have to sit.
My vote is that Sekera goes back to Rochester, where he belongs and can dominate with Weber and the Sabres can have two very good young defensemen next year, in case Campbell doesn't come back.
I'm sorry but Nathan your time is up in the starting lineup. Your a fine young kid, but we need a Nolan Pratt back there to beat some forwards up. He is also a +2 so not a defensive liability and can play a solid third pair with Kalinin.
So the pairs would be Campbell - Spacek
Tallinder - Lydman
Pratt - Kalinin
But who sits when Teppo gets back? Now thats a good question?
