[Preview: Maple Leafs @ Buffalo SabresLeafs get to play a bad team coming off a tough loss.

Samsonov vs Levi in net.

Sabres have activated Skinner and Greenway, and are operating with 24 players under the Roster Freeze rules where as long as you don't exceed the cap, you can have more than 23 players due to an activation from injury if you don't have any emergency recall players to send down. 

> Quirk in Christmas rules...Buffalo can roster 24 (one over the max) since they are under the cap. Makes some teams crazy, because they feel it gives an unfair advantage, but they are not required to make a loan/demotion during Holiday Freeze [https://t.co/e8Ba0W5QQm](https://t.co/e8Ba0W5QQm?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)

Any team complaining about this rule is one that hasn't read the CBA and/or thinks the CBA is there to make it harder to play good players more. It's amazing to consider GMs are doing the *it's not faaaaaiiiiiir* think like a three year old on Christmas morning.

Insider Trading on TSN is teasing that there are talks ongoing with the Leafs and William Nylander, no one is worried. Everyone wants the same outcome, etc. etc. Don't hold your breath for a Christmas contract is my advice.

Go Leafs Go!
