So, pretty sure his 13th game after today makes him waiver eligible, not his 3rd. Expand Yes. Capfriendly tracks this quite accurately. If you click on his player profile, there’s a breakdown. 1 Quote

The adjustments for games played due to covid shortened years is what puts him remaining waiver exempt through his 1st 51 games or the end of this season, whichever comes 1st. And, at least per cap friendly, that he wasn't playing in NA during the '20-'21 season doesn't bump him up to 57 games of waiver exemption which is where he was at after '19-'20. (Mia culpa, was going off the pre-Covid adjusted #'s originally. Also, because he was born on Dec 31, he counted as 23 not 22 the day he signed.) Quote

Amerks8796 Posted October 29, 2022 Report Posted October 29, 2022 (edited) .892 save percentage for UPL. I know everyone was hyping him up, but I’m not seeing it. When is he going to show that he’s not consistently a below average goalie in the AHL? Edited October 29, 2022 by Amerks8796 Quote

pastajoe Posted October 29, 2022 Report Posted October 29, 2022 Pray that the Sabres can sign Levi next season, if not Portillo also. Quote

Too often it’s filler from the ECHL. Now they just need to get the Amerks a veteran forward at some point to help get some offense. 1 1 Quote
inkman Posted October 29, 2022 Report Posted October 29, 2022 Amerks up 4-1 on Laval. Second intermission. Leaving for Buffalo! Quote
Norcal Posted October 29, 2022 Report Posted October 29, 2022 Glad they turned it around on those prices today. Go Merks! Quote
Amerks8796 Posted October 29, 2022 Report Posted October 29, 2022 Of course Houser played well behind the same defense that people use as an excuse for UPL. Perhaps he needs to lose his starter gig for a little while? I don’t think him being gifted endless starts, despite poor performances, is how you treat professional goalies. Houser earned the next start, but I’m sure it’ll go to UPL. 1 Quote

Expand Adams has mentioned numerous times that UPL needs starts and to play in as many games as possible, but if His play starts to interfere with the development of other prospects in Rochester, perhaps some of those starts should be in Cincinnati. 1 Quote
