The Buffalo Sabres are finalizing their roster ahead of the NHL's opening day, needing to trim down to 23 players. Unlike most teams, the Sabres and New Jersey Devils have been allowed to maintain a taxi squad during their time in Europe due to the Global Series.

Recently, six former Sabres players were placed on waivers and have cleared to join the American Hockey League. Notable names include Brandon Biro, Casey Fitzgerald, Rasmus Asplund, Justin Bailey, Axel Jonsson-Fjallby, and Zac Dalpe, each transitioning to new teams or leagues.
