AHL goalie for the AHL team. That's fine.

Felix the Cat!

KA is filling Rochester spots 45 mins into FA. What a joke.... only in Buffalo can you miss the playoffs for 13 years,  have a ton of good prospects and picks, 3rd highest salary space and get worse

[Taro T]

Dustin Tokarski, we hardly knew ye.

Nice AHL signing.....

2 x 👍 Kyven, your killing it this off season.

You do realize these agreements were likely already in place and KA is not the only person who would be handling this, right? Karmanos should have handed Adams a list of names for FA acquisitions and targets for the Rochester club. The free agency isn't just one man, Kevin Adams, trying to make as many phone calls after 12pm EST as possible.

Look, I'm not a GMKA fan, but this is the dumbest criticism I've seen in a while.

They showed that much in the video in the past. The AGMs are the only ones talking to these guys

KA could hit this out of the park if he could sign another goaltender named Oscar to pair with this guy.

He was terrible last year.

He had the same games played as Tokarski with a better GAA but worse SV%. He was also on a worse team. I would say for an AHL goalie he's fine. Not sure why we're saying he's terrible.

[PotentPowerPlay21]

This is not an NHL move. Depth goalie for Rochester. Who cares at this point?

You’re not understanding why people are saying a goalie with an .884 save percentage in the AHL and .823 in the NHL is bad? That would make goalies in the 80s blush. It’s beyond bad. 

[PerreaultForever]

This is the guy Philly gave up on right? Whatever.

Maybe you're not understanding the concept of who cares.

So your point would be Philly doesn't know what it's doing with goalies? Possibly, but my Philly friends think Sandstrom is garbage. 

Goalies are weird, it's fine. Rochester and if Levi craps out and has to go back I guess he can back up and be mediocre.

Came to post a Felix the cat meme. 

 

The realized I've been beaten out by half of SS. 😎

With the over 80 crowd.
