Training Camp Roster Narrows Before Final Cuts

Buffalo assigned 17 players to Rochester and reduced camp to 29 players, with eight players on waivers ahead of the 23-man roster deadline. The 3-1 preseason-finale loss to Pittsburgh concluded exhibition play, and waiver claims and final cuts remain imminent, particularly for the defensive group and Ryan Johnson; four former Sabres were also placed on waivers without any confirmed Buffalo interest.
