I shall hate him for 24hrs, but no more.

The only reason I ever disliked Anderson was how well he played for Ottawa for all those years. I thought it was a nice gesture to have his final game be against them last season.

 

I'd really like him to sign some kind of contract with Buffalo to be consultant or something. He seems to be hanging around at times, which is nice to see. I'm not sure if that's a paid thing or voluntary (or maybe they like pay for hotel, travel and food?). I suspect he wants time with the family in the short term, but that may change once he's been gone a bit and misses being around the rink all the time.

I think he might be getting paid in some way...

Good for Andy.  A true class act and a consummate professional.

I think they may have done this already but not made a big announcement.  He was here for training camp and I would not be surprised to see him around here periodically, especially if he's signed some kind of contract as a part time conultant/coach.

Good for him.  He is well-liked around the league.  Kudos for the Senators for doing this for him.

I can get behind another salute to Andy.

Dreger's Tweet (do we call them X now?) explains why he seems to be hanging around the Sabres.  Do you think he is a special goalie coach for Levi? 

[Doohicksie]

It makes sense.  He said wanting to spend more time with family and as a consultant he can be FLA based and do some of the work virtually (i.e., calls with Levi and the other goalies) while visiting Buffalo in person a few times during the year.
