Marcus Foligno is likely AHL bound if the start of the NHL season is delayed by a lockout. "Whatever happens, you want to be ready for it," he said. "I'm preparing like camp is going to happen, but for me I'm in a better position than some of the veterans because I can go to Rochester." Foligno was great for the Sabres during his brief stint with the big club last season. He racked up 13 points in 14 games and proved to be a physical force with 44 hits. The 21-year-old winger should have value as a late-round sleeper on draft day despite his possible early detour to the AHL.
