Dineen is expected to have a number of new options available for Saturday's lineup as Kris Versteeg, Dmitry Kulikov and Scottie Upshall could all be ready to play. All three took part in Thursday's morning skate and at least two should play against the Sabres.
Once all three players return, Florida will have 24 players on the active roster – which is OK after the trade deadline. Teams can only carry 23 players before the deadline.
Dineen all but confirmed Jack Skille's injured shoulder will all but end his season. Skille signed a two-year deal with the team last summer. “I don't think Jack is going to play again this season and I would be very surprised if he was,'' Dineen said. “Anything realistic is months away.''

Skille szezonjának annyi, de a többiek szerencsére gyógyulnak!
