The Buffalo Sabres have placed Tyson Jost on NHL waivers, potentially joining the Rochester Americans if he clears waivers. The Sabres will be spending $5.25 million for three players to be on their AHL roster, including Jost, Jacob Bryson, and Riley Stillman. This decision has raised questions about the Sabres' roster-building strategy, particularly in light of their past misfires on UFAs and increased spending in Rochester. The team's need to improve the margins of their roster has been emphasized. Olivier Nadeau has been reassigned from the Rochester Americans to the Jacksonville Icemen.

The Sabres decision to waive Tyson Jost may seem inconsequential, but it raises some significant questions. They've misfired on multiple UFAs the past two summers. Spending is way up in Rochester. They have one pro scout working with Jeremiah Crowe. https://t.co/WyinwiqEJu
