But he is capable and what he brings to the room is more valuable. Again, i am not saying that we cannot find better, but there are 2 parts to this. First, is walking the line on who we bring in that is going to influence the decisions of Levi, and Portillo. If they see no chance of playing time, they will walk. Second, have a great locker room player is better then overpaying for a mercenary netminder that will only be here a year or two and brings nothing to the locker room then someone collecting a paycheck. We all get we can have better, but for the overall locker room, this a very smart hire.

When you have a young core of players that are looking up to the leadership of two people in the locker room (Grandpa and Dad) That is worth more then Eichel, Reinhart and anyone else that just has talent. Anderson is more then a serviceable backup. That the team in front of him trusts him speaks volumes. Can we find better? Easily i am sure, but is the fit for the team going to be the same as it is with Anderson in it? Most likely not.

This is a smart signing. He is a respectable backup and an insanely awesome leader in the locker room who is highly respected. From what was said, the plan is still to bring in another goalie and if they are good, 6K will most likely start in Ra cha cha.

Please no more undersized forwards........ I do not care how many points he potted.

Mortgage meaning giving up 3/4 major pieces for a star on his way down the mountain, not climbing up. And, prove it that he is going to be better then the pieces we give up for the next 3 years..... we saw what happened with Hall. (LOL J/K))😁

Is MJ legal where he is from? Crack maybe? NO!!!! I know you have to give to get but he needs to be treated like a one year rental unless there is a locked in extension.

Uhhhh NO thank you..... We could not get what we were asking for Jack and should not pay anything close to that for PK. Do not mortgage the farm for the love of a local player. I would love him on the Sabres but not by giving up 4 pieces for a 1 year wait.

Loving this....Avs my fave western team and they are clearly best of who is left! Still think the rags are going to beat TB and then get killed by the Avs

The Rags have one of the top 3 goalies in the NHL, if not the world right now. They are younger with a great top line. They have great speed and size to play aggressive. Unfortunately the are pretty much a team with only 1 1/2 countable lines for scoring. They do have a great top defensive line but drop hard from there. I think they are very luck this playoffs as they have been mostly playing 2nd and 3rd string goalies. They are ahead of us, but us getting a solid minder, puts us even IMHO.

I have to say i have always hated the Rags. Since the pre cap days when they were always trying to buy their way to the cup, was always laughing when they fell flat on their face during the playoffs. I have to say though, they finally got it right by drafting and developing and smattering in a few vets. They could easily go all the way, especially since their goalie is actually playing better then the rest of who is left. This is is going to be Rags and Avs with the Avs winning in 6. Avs have always been my second fave team and root for them during the playoffs.

Ugh, no reinforcements.....Happy we got this far though!

Unless we get some folks back this is going to end quickly. Losing the captain, starting goalie, and not having our best defenseman hurts when it counts. Happy for the run and playoff excitement. have not had that in awhile.

Guess we are not getting any walking wounded back?

Crossing fingers for the injured coming back for this one!!!

Anybody with good size and grit available?

This does not bode well for tonight.....I will just have to wait until tomorrow morning to even look....LOL

Hoping we get some good news on the walking (Or not) wounded coming back tonight!! Need Muel!

Part of this leaves a bad taste. Is it he just does not want to play for the Amerks now that he got a long taste of the NHL or is he really hurt? He would definitely have helped all of these games.

He seems to like staying in front of the net looking for the rebounds.... a good thing.

Definitely agree with getting a bit more physical. This team has drafted smaller skilled players for awhile and needs some physicality. I am all for adding some skilled size players that are seriously physical for the 3rd/4th line. Agree with most though that Asplund should not be moved....he is great defensively and when he is on the ice, the ice always seems to tilt away from the Sabres net.

Hoping that Sabres Management and scouting are keeping a good watch on the Amerks series...... This team needs size with a bit of grit. (OK, both Sabres and Amerks). Skilled players are nice but when they are pushed around and cleared out of the crease it is not helpful or good for the team overall. Muel was really needed in this series, and day to day seems to have turned into not the whole playoffs.

This team needs Muel to win this series. Hopefully back for the next game. Either way it is good experience for the kids and it allows us to see who has that playoff next gear!

Flat cap??? Teams just pull a TB or LVG and LTIR them until the playoffs. As for Offer sheets....i would not be surprised to see one or two. It will NOT be the Sabres though. KA seems dead firm on not screwing up this rebuild.

I see what you are saying. Although if his production stays the same as this year he is more then worth the 5 per along with his leadership and the respect that "Dad" has in the locker room. They have the money and this is working. Again, i do get what you are saying. Sabres have a higher view of him i am sure.
