The Buffalo Sabres have made their first trim of the roster sending nine players to their respective junior teams. From the Sabres website:
Forwards Riley Boychuk (Portland, WHL), Cedrick Henley (Val d’Or, QMJHL), Steven Shipley (Niagara, OHL), Kevin Sundher (Chilliwack, WHL), Gregg Sutch (Mississauga, OHL); defensemen Corey Fienhage (Kamloops, WHL), Jerome Gauthier-Leduc (Rouyn-Noranda, QMJHL), Matt MacKenzie (Calgary, WHL) and Mark Pysyk (Edmonton, WHL).
None of these players are a surprise as most of them weren’t going to see time in a preseason game. Along with these players being sent back, tryout player Zane Kalemba was let out of his tryout contract.
