They did not so he’s ineligible. They did it with Samuelsson last year I could swear they sent UPL down "on paper" right before the TDL. You'd think they'd want him to be AHL eligible for a potential playoff run. Quote

I think UPL goes down and plays in the AHL playoffs. Yep. I want UPL to go down. He can be The Man for the playoff run. 14 minutes ago, Brawndo said: Yes, the Sabres would have had to make a paper transaction at the TDL and send him back to Rochester with an immediate recall.

Was there a specific window he needed to be on the roster? Quote

They deliberately did not do this to UPL because they wanted to send him the message he's an NHL goalie now. Seth Appert talked about it with Marty and Duffer. 1 1 Quote
PerreaultForever Posted March 17, 2023 Report Posted March 17, 2023 I think the expectations of instant success are pretty lofty and unreasonable but it'll be fun to see what he has at the NHL level. If the plan is to go with 2 young guys next year the pressure is really on the goaltending coaching. Is it adequate? UPL doesn't seem to be improving so idk. Goalies take time and have big ups and downs so the development process here is critical. Anyway, no need to worry yet. Just glad all the panic over him possibly not signing is over. Helps with the team's image as an up and comer too. Might help with future signings if the word out there is bright future for the team. Quote

Oettenger would be the most recent and the model they’re hoping for, one year in the AHL and then a very good NHL goalie. Quote

Scottysabres Posted March 17, 2023 Report Posted March 17, 2023 What a contract price to. No other team can say they have a goalie that won them Stanley Cups for less than 1 mi AAV. My hats off to Levi for taking the discount route so we can win those cups. Quote
