Roberto Martinez will begin his tenure as manager with Everton when he leads his new side against Norwich City, while West Bromwich Albion will open their Barclays Premier League season against Southampton. You can catch Norwich City v. Everton on TSN beginning at 9:30am et/6:30am pt, West Brom v. Southampton can be seen streaming live on TSN.ca at 10am et/7am pt. Despite capturing the FA Cup, Martinez was not able to keep his Wigan Athletic side in the Premier League last season as they were relegated to the Championship. Hired to replace David Moyes, who left Everton for Manchester United, Martinez grabbed a few of his players as he made his way out the door. Antolin Alcaraz, Arouna Kone and Joel Robles have all been added to an Everton squad that already boasts quality in players like Leighton Baines and Marouane Fellaini. Norwich very comfortably kept their place in the league last season with an 11th place finish and are one of the mid-table teams that will have aspirations of a top ten finish. New striker Gary Hooper is a question mark for the match after suffering a shin injury last week but is considered a big part of what the team hopes to accomplish moving forward. Leroy Fer, another player Norwich added in the off-season will not be in the lineup due to serving a one-game suspension he picked up in Holland. Norwich took four points from the two meetings last season, winning at home and drawing in the road contest. West Bromwich Albion came out of the gate hot last season, dropping only one of their first six games. They faded as the season progressed but still managed to post a strong eighth place finish in the table. Nicholas Anelka will have to fill the shoes left behind by last seasons top scorer Romelu Lukaku who was with the team on loan from Chelsea last season but will remain in Blue for this campaign. Mauricio Pochettino was brought in by Southampton last year to help them stay in the league after they had fallen dangerously close to being relegated and he accomplished that goal with a 14th place finish, five points clear of the bottom three. Now he hell have a full season to put his mark on the team which began with picking up defender Dejan Lovran and midfielder Victor Wanyama during the off-season. West Brom won both meetings against Southampton last season with the Saints failing to score in either meeting. Detroit Tigers Gear .

Division: Atlantic GM: Tim Murray Head Coach: Ted Nolan 2013-14: 21-51-10 (8th in Atlantic) Playoffs: Did not qualify Goals For: 150 (30th) Goals Against: 243 (25th) PP: 14.1% (29th) PK: 81.4% (20th) That Was Then: The Buffalo Sabres 2013-14 campaign started and ended with identical seven-game losing streaks. In total, the club was beaten in 61 of its 82 games - or in nearly 75 per cent of its season. Buffalos 21 wins, 52 regular season points and 150 goals scored all ranked at the bottom of the league. The losing took its toll from management level all the way down through the roster. Head coach Ron Rolston and long-time general manager Darcy Regier were fired after the clubs 4-15-1 start. By the trade deadline, the club was in full fire sale mode when they dealt away long-time goalie Ryan Miller and star forward Thomas Vanek along with Matt Moulson, Cody McCormick and Steve Ott. Fans in Western New York can take solace that after a season like that, there really is nowhere to go but up.

Analysis: Games 1-20: Trouble from get-go, with horrific possession numbers leading to a massive goal deficit. Games 21-41: Got even worse offensively, but possession improved and Ryan Miller was strong in goal. Games 42-62: Possession still a problem, but went on a (relative) hot streak offensively, led by Ennis, Hodgson and Stafford. Games 63-82: Faded down the stretch, with a patchwork lineup and a goaltending change putting up subpar numbers across the board. Key 2014 Additions: RW Brian Gionta, C Cody McCormick, LW Matt Moulson, C Sam Reinhart, D Andrej Meszaros, D Tyson Strachan, D Josh Gorges Key 2014 Subtractions: D Christian Ehrhoff, F Cory Conacher, LW Ville Leino This Is Now: With veteran coach Ted Nolan dropping the interim title behind the bench, general manager Tim Murray wasted no time this summer rebuilding his battered club. First up, using compliance buyouts on Christian Ehrhoff and Ville Leino. On Free Agent Frenzy day, the Sabres broughtt back Moulson and McCormick on three-year deals and added veteran winger Brian Gionta.dddddddddddd The blue line was bolstered by the signing of Andrej Meszaros and acquiring Josh Gorges from Montreal. And before the summer was out, the team re-signed Tyler Ennis to a five-year contract. The Sabres didnt score much last year, but the players who did are all back in the fold. Cody Hodgson led the team in points with 44 (20 G, 24 A) and re-joins Ennis (21 G, 22 A) up front. Youngsters Zemgus Girgensons (8 G, 14 A) and Drew Stafford (16 G, 18 A) are also looking to take the next steps in their development. Joining the fray is Buffalos second-overall draft pick, Sam Reinhart. The 18-year-old forward tallied 105 points (36 G, 69 A) for the Kootenay Ice of the Western Hockey League and the Sabres could certainly use a boost in firepower as Reinhart develops. He has a good chance of making the squad right out of training camp this season. In goal, the battle for playing time will be between Jhonas Enroth and Michal Neuvirth.

The ability to think at a high level is required to play successfully in the NHL. Sam has a next generation processor when it comes to playing. His ability to think ahead, anticipate what is unfolding and then act is a skill that sets him apart. Like a chess grandmaster, he manipulates the ice to the advantage of his team. Fantasy - Cullens Player to Watch - Tyler Ennis There is not a lot of fantasy gold to be spun out of a team that had two players (three, if you count Matt Moulsons full season with three clubs) finish with more than 35 points last year. However, Ennis is one of the few Buffalo forwards with offensive upside. After a rough start to the year, he finished last season with 28 points in his last 39 games, which might be enough to draw fantasy interest, if his plus-minus isnt dragged down to a minus-25 again.
