The only player missing from practice was Jason Spezza so O'Brien may be insurance. The former 29th overall pick has no points in six career NHL games.
Sent to Binghamton were defencemen Tim Conboy, Eric Gryba and Craig Schira; and forwards Louie Caporusso, Pat Cannone, Corey Cowick, David Dziurzynski, Derek Grant, Wacey Hamilton, Francis Lessard, Corey Locke, Jim O’Brien, Mark Parrish and Andre Petersson.
