BUFFALO, N.Y. -- The Sabres fired assistant coaches James Patrick and Kevyn Adams on Thursday in the first moves made by newly promoted head coach Ron Rolston. A person familiar with the decisions confirmed the moves, and spoke on the condition of anonymity because the Sabres have not announced the moves. The Buffalo News first reported the firings on its website earlier in the day. The changes come two days after Rolston took over the job on a permanent basis. He closed the season going 15-11-5 as the teams interim coach in replacing Lindy Ruff, who was fired in February. The shuffle does not come as a surprise. Rolston indicated he was going to spend the next few weeks putting together his staff. Both Patrick and Adams were holdovers from Ruffs tenure, and were both responsible for working behind the bench. Patrick had completed his seventh season in Buffalo, where he had become Ruffs top assistant. Hes a former defenceman who enjoyed a 21-season NHL career split between four teams, including the Sabres. Adams is a former NHL forward, who spent 10 seasons playing in the NHL. From the Buffalo area, he had completed his fourth season with the Sabres organization, including the past two as an assistant coach. Longtime goalie coach Jim Corsi and assistant coach Teppo Numminen were expected to be retained by Rolston. Corsi completed his 15th season in Buffalo, a stretch during which hes coached former starter Dominik Hasek and now Ryan Miller. Both Corsi and Numminen worked games from the press box level. Rolston is a first-time NHL head coach, who spent the previous two years coaching the Sabres AHL affiliate in Rochester, N.Y. He also has ties to USA Hockey, where he spent seven years as a national team development program coach. One potential candidate in the mix to take over as a Sabres assistant is Chadd Cassidy, Rolstons former assistant in Rochester. Cassidy was Rolstons top assistant on the U.S. Under-18 national team. And he took over in Rochester following Rolstons promotion to Buffalo. Barry Sanders Lions Jersey .

The England manager names his squad for the tournament in just under five weeks, with their opening group game against Russia a month later.It leaves Henderson, who faces six to eight weeks out after damaging his lateral collateral ligament against Borussia Dortmund, a short window to prove his fitness. Jordan Henderson suffered the injury playing for Liverpool against Borussia Dortmund The Liverpool midfielder had emerged as a key part of Hodgsons plans, starting Englands first six Euro qualifiers before injury, and returning in the 3-2 friendly victory over Germany in March.The impact of his injury on Englands hopes polarised opinion on Sky Sports social media channels, but where does his possible absence leave their midfield options?Recent startersHodgson used a version of the 4-3-3 formation in Berlin, but also experimented with a 4-4-2 diamond.Henderson had been earmarked as one of the two shuttlers in central midfield, using his energy to support attack and defence with Eric Dier in the holding role.The Tottenham midfielder is unlikely to be affected after impressing against Germany, and with few alternatives in defensive midfield, his place is likely assured. Eric Dier scored the winner for England against Germany in March His team-mate Dele Alli looked a good fit alongside Henderson at the Olympiastadion. Both pressed well, with Alli free to roam forward and Henderson and Dier on the cover.He could drop back now, but his best work for Spurs and England has been higher up the pitch. It would seem counter-productive to move him away from the oppositions goal, especially when it would likely limit his proximity to Harry Kane. Dele Alli is among the favourites to start for England at Euro 2016 So James Milner, who many feel most closely matches Hendersons work-rate, may be the biggest beneficiary.The Liverpool midfielder took his club-mates place against the Netherlands and Hodgson clearly values his leadership, handing him the captains armband at Wembley. Judging by recent team selections, Milner is a logical choice. James Milner captained England against the Netherlands at Wembley Meanwhile, those championing Danny Drinkwater may grow a little bolder. He slotted into the Dier position against the Dutch, winning his first cap, and the Leicester midfielder is another who may profit from Hendersons absence.He enjoyed the role against the Netherlands, even if it differed from his typical Leicester assignment, but he could now get the chance to play further forward if Henderson doesnt make it. Jamie Vardy, recipient of four Drinkwater assists this season, could find his case boosted too.Hodgson could always opt to reshuffle his attacking midfielders, leaving Ross Barkley and Adam Lallana possible contenders. Both have played there for their clubs, but so far Hodgson haas preferred advanced roles for both.dddddddddddd Danny Drinkwater won his first England cap against the Netherlands In contention…if fitIt looks like Jack Wilshere will be the big if for England. Henderson now joins the Arsenal midfielder and Fabian Delph on the list of players who must prove their fitness.All three have strong claims and were heavily involved in Englands qualification, and Hodgson has said a lack of game-time doesnt necessarily rule out a call-up. Jack Wilshere faces a race against time to prove his fitness before Euro 2016 He knows the strengths and weaknesses of all three players, and the trio may actually have been his first-choice midfield three - Delph, Wilshere and Henderson kicked off Englands qualification bid in the impressive 2-0 win in Switzerland.For me its all about the class of the player, Hodgson said when discussing Wilshere. If the Arsenal man takes the field before Euro 2016, he remains the hypothetical favourite to replace Henderson. Recent call-upsA look back at the midfielders capped over the last 12 months provides a snapshot of alternative options for the England boss.Jonjo Shelvey had ambitions of an England place when he moved to Newcastle in January.He must have fancied his chances too after he won five caps in 2015, but to date his hopes have gone the same way as Newcastles survival bid. The former Swan has not featured since an 11-minute cameo against France last year. Jonjo Shelvey was part of the England set-up in 2015 Many felt Michael Carrick fluffed his chance in the 2-0 friendly defeat by Spain in November, and he was overlooked in favour of Drinkwater for recent friendlies. But if Hodgson requires an experienced head, he could do worse than Carrick.Ryan Mason won his single England cap against Italy last March, but he has since slipped well down the pecking order. With just six Premier League starts to his name this season, the Spurs midfielder would be a left-field choice.Similarly Tom Cleverley, who has played just about half of Evertons league matches this season. He actually replaced an injured Mason for Englands June friendly against Republic of Ireland last year, but didnt get on. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain could make a late case for inclusion in Englands squad England right-back Alex Scott tipped Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain for the squad, and the injured Arsenal man famously impressed in a central midfield role against AC Milan four years ago last month.As recently as March, Hodgson seemed keen for Oxlade-Chamberlain, who featured four times for England last year, to return, and if fit his versatility could offer an extra option.Who do you think Roy Hodgson should take to Euro 2016?
