Short Take Sports:

Sabres have too many people

Hey, I know it’s a McCartney song. It’s also a stalwart hockey team with 9 healthy defensemen and a 10th ready to come back from injury while 15 forwards fight for 12 spots. Without a bad game or an injury, Lindy Ruff has tough choices. Of course, Ostlund stays in. So does Metsa. If you think it’s a problem now, wait until next year. https://www.nhl.com/sabres/news/buffalo-sabres-practice-roster-scratches-michael-kesselring

Kleber dreams of a Sabre future

The 2nd Round defenseman has a shot to develop. He plays at Minnesota-Deluth and is headed to the NCAA tournament. He has two familiar teammates, Max and Zam Plante, Derek’s kids. Jason Arnott’s son Callum is on the team as well but is undrafted. https://www.nhl.com/sabres/news/buffalo-sabres-prospects-report-adam-kleber-ncaa

Bills let VanDeMark walk

Swing tackle gets $4.2 million guaranteed from Vikings. Tylan Grable or Chase Lundt will likely replace him unless they draft someone. https://www.audacy.com/wgr550/sports/bills/bills-will-not-match-vikings…
