Sabres Team Report
(Wed, 04 Nov 2009 00:50:26 PST)
The Sabres looked at prospect Tim Kennedy and figured a position change was in order. He played left wing his whole life, including his three seasons at Michigan State. But Buffalo thought he was better suited at center.
The transition is tougher than it sounds. Kennedy, a 23-year-old rookie, has been fine learning the positional changes in both zones. Faceoffs, though, are a work in progress.
"I've been working about 20 minutes after practice each day," Kennedy said. "It's not as easy as it looks. There's skill that goes into it and strength with some guys in the league. I'm just trying to get better each day."
Kennedy was winning just 36.5 percent of his draws entering Saturday's 5-0 loss New York Islanders.
