The inevitable thing about the NHL is that injuries do occur. Many times, when injuries to key players happen, teams have an issue finding the right guy to call up and fill the position needed. For the Buffalo Sabres there are a number of great options for call ups during injuries.
The Rochester Americans had a relatively poor season last year, but there were still some signs of hope in the defense and the goaltending. With defensemen Jake McCabe and Mark Pysyk most likely going to be on the Buffalo Sabres full time roster this year, I am going to exclude them as options.
