In trading winger JJ Peterka to the Utah Mammoth, the Buffalo Sabres created a big, possibly temporary, hole in their lineup. Michael Kesserling, the top asset the Sabres received in exchange for Peterka, fills their need for a right-shot defenseman. Winger Josh Doan, the other player acquired early Thursday morning, will likely be utilized on the third or fourth line. kAm$F556?=J[ E96 $23C6D ?665 2 E@A\D:I 7@CH2C5 E@ C6A=246 !6E6C<2[ H9@ D4@C65 af 8@2=D 2?5 2 42C66C\9:89 eg A@:?ED :?

ORCHARD PARK – Kevyn Adams said he has given Lindy Ruff the green light to change his staff. The general manager even noted the coach has spoken to people about joining the Buffalo Sabres.
