Impressive. Chad DeDominics tweeted Shesterkin was the only other goaltender last year with similar GSAA numbers. The real question is if Comrie can play that well for 35-40 games instead of 19.

So signing Michael Houser is a MUST!  😛

After seeing the small sample size the last year or two, I feel more confident with Houser in a Sabres uniform rather than Subban.

So far it's you and me on the Houser bandwagon.  That's it.  That's all.

He was 10-5 with a 2.54 gaa and a .920 sv% with good advanced metrics

He is 27 which is the point most goalies come into their own. He has a great opportunity here to take a net and run with it.

Low risk at 2 years, $1.8 per

He's basically what Ullmark was just before he left for Boston.  I guess I'm okay with that.

My son-in-law, who is a Jets fan, said that had he played 90 more minutes last season he’d have been an RFA instead of UFA.  More good team management.

Subban vs Dell is a wash as both stink.

But Dell can't carry a tune.

So Dell would have a pretty high number because any save made by him was usually more then what was expected?

Three more games played than Hasek had when the Sabres acquired him.  I don't care how many starts he has; I care whether Adams has made an effort to address the position.  Comrie isn't my first choice either, but at least it's someone with potential.

I would love it if he turned out to be a second Hasek, just so we could resurrect this thread for people like @Buffalonill 😄

[Zamboni]

Who has a better defensive group?Winnipeg’s defense last season? Or Sabres defense this season?

Of the shots he’s faced, he was expected to give up 66.6 goals. He has given up 56 goals, so he’s doing better than expected.

He'll be at KBC before you know it, what with our Spinal Tap Drummer reputation of goalie injuries.

I wrote this back on May 2 in the offseason goaltending thread.

We all know most of the a available UFAs. I’d like to add one to the conversation.  26 year old Eric Comrie, who finally got a chance to play decent NHL minutes and performed well.  In 19 games he had a 2.58 gaa and a .920 save %.  This is coupled with gradual improvement at the AHL level makes me think he could be a real value find.  

However props to @Norcal for saying KA should acquire Comrie at the trade deadline.
