So now how much in 1-way contracts will be in Rochester?  Imagine that being spent on the big club.

Is VO going to be joining them soon?

Thanks.  And with VO doing a lot of pine-riding, that is about $11M being frittered away.

What, you don't think he'll be claimed off waivers by a playoff ready team???

Watch for it and The Great Satan will claim Eric The Not So Great.

[Mustache of God]

When he was signed I really hoped he was one of those backups who put in his time and was just needed his opportunity to take the crease. That did not appear to be the case and each time I saw an interview with him the more I disliked him. It always felt like he responded with generic PR garbage speech and you could see he was lying in his eyes.

I wouldn’t be surprised at all if Toronto grabbed Comrie regardless.  They have nothing to lose.

I was kind of joking around, but I agree that they will probably be seriously considering it.

[Weave]

And this is exactly gow I expected it to go down when preseason was wrapping up.  We’d run a 3 headed monster until the first of either, 1 goalie claims the starting roll, or the lineup got healthy enough to require it.

We hit the second one first.

Maybe Pegula will finally realize that Adams is wasting his money and make a change....I know, wishful thinking.

More likely Adams gets to spin this and say "see, these moves prove that the best way is to just draft our own players. If we bring players in they disappoint. Our plan is better." 

Seriously, wait for it.

2 goalies now? Is that even legal?

[SabreFinn]

Comrie should never even have been in the line-up this season. I hoped they had signed a veteran to go with UPL and given Levi time and space to develop into a longtime NHL goalie with a winning season in AHL first. In Finland when talking about goalie development every discussion turns to how Pekka Rinne was the mentor for Saros. And that is what we need in Buffalo now, and as the situation has developed UPL is the one that has to be traded to get there.

They're still $11MM under the cap.  Having those guys on the roster in Buffalo or Ra-cha-cha didn't prevent them from signing anybody they might've wanted to sign.  

Heck, they start worrying about the cap floor if they don't have those guys.

They're seriously tight against the cap.  Would be surprised if they wanted to grab Comrie.  

Guessing that Woll is ready to come off IR, so TO made that move.

Great way to build a team!  Really horrible UFA signings by KA
