‘While Comrie certainly should be a step up from the six netminders who defended the Sabres crease last season, it’s very evident his two-year deal is intended to serve as a bridge to prospects Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen in Rochester, Devon Levi at Northeastern University or Erik Portillo with the University of Michigan. The 41-year-old Craig Anderson returns on another one-year deal to serve as the backup and at that age it means Buffalo will certainly give some looks to Luukkonen throughout the season.’
