Today the Buffalo Sabres held a press conference after practice and annouced their final roster after all the cuts at training camp. Looking at the depth chart released to the press there doesn't appear to be any surprises. Below will be your opening night rosters for the Sabres as well as their AHL affiliate Americans.

Buffalo Sabres Lines

       LW                            C                        RW

Chris Kunitz             Sidney Crosby       Jason Pominville

Ondrej Palat            Ryan Kesler           Gustav Nyquist

Benoit Pouliot           Vernon Fiddler        David Perron

Dwight King              Boyd Gordon         Ryan Strome

Extra Forward: Jack Skille

         LD                           RD

Jay Bouwmeester      Alex Pietrangelo

Brooks Orpik           Rasmus Ristolainen

Nikita Zadorov         Alec Martinez

Extra Defender: Nate Schmidt

       G

Petr Mrazek

Ondrej Pavelec

Jack Skille will once again get a good seat in the press box for the Sabres games barring any injuries. Also with that forward group, expect the linemates on the top 3 lines to switch often depending on the look coach Alan Vigneault wants. On Defence, Alec Martinez will headline on the top PP unit with Pietrangelo but otherwise will be babysitting one of Zadorov or Schmidt depending on whos dressed with him on the 3rd pairing. Expect a 50/50 split in starts between the two goaltenders as well.

Rochester Americans Lines

      LW                        C                       RW

Joel Vermin           Nick Cousins        Riley Barber

Ivan Barbashev    Kevin Sundher      Riley Brace

Nate Drazenovic    Justin Hodgman    Marc-Andre Cliche

Thomas Raffl        Matt Ellis              Ruslan Fedotenko

Extra Forwards: Derek Arnold, Kale Kessy, Patrick Bordeleau, Stefan Fournier, Colton Orr

      LD                          RD

Jan Hejda            Matt Bartkowski

Jay Harrison        Steve Eminger

Dylan DeMelo      Jake Chelios

Extra Defenders: Daniel Maggio, Ryan Parent, Garrett Noonan, Erik Gustafsson, Chris Breen, Ben Harpur

   G

Jon Gillies

Connor Knapp

Extra Goaltender: Mark Dekanich

Lots of extra forwards on the farm and nothing is set in stone yet as far as lines, this was just the teams press release but expect things to change as the season wears on. Nick Cousins will see time bouncing between Rochester and Buffalo in case of injury and Dylan DeMelo might get called up if the pro team suffers more than one injury to a Dman.
