Nuts.

In UPL & Levi we trust.  (They'd better stay healthy.)

Not surprising...

***** the Ducks, I guess we could sign Tokarski?

 

[Brawndo]

Sabres Goalie Depth 

1. UPL

2. Levi

3. Sandstrom

4 Houser-needs NHL Deal 

Better hope that UPL and Levi stay healthy.

I love Adam’s plan for this season. Well thought out and going great

You can't blame Adams for this part

You can't?  He could have kept Reimer on the roster and sent down Levi who was waiver exempt right?

I sure as ***** am going to blame him if either of our goalies falter.

[SabreFinn]

This is not a problem as long as Luukkonen and Levi stays healthy.

[Thorner]

I won’t torpedo Adams on this until we actually see poor performance from the position. Presumably he could claim one of these Reimer type guys from another team should an injury arise to UPL or Levi

Levi is the 2nd best goalie

I mean, I’d much rather Levi be up and playing games than Reimer. Though, do you know if it was option to keep Levi in Roch but still call him up when we wanted him for a stretch, while keeping Reimer stashed on the roster? Unsure of the viability of that option but something like that may have been the best option

If you are going to be on a crap team, why not Anaheim. ☀️

Sorry I thought this year was about winning?

Wonderful.  Now Adams has no decent goaltender after those 2.  So if there is an injury (which is quite common) then the Sabres goaltending depth falls off a cliff. So it's still Adams' fault.

There's no world where the lack of goaltending depth is not the fault of the GM.

Not that it really matters because unless the team plays better no goaltender is saving this season. Also Adams fault.

My understanding is that Levi was eligible to be called up and sent down without having to pass through waivers. I could be wrong.  I agree Levi is better than Reimer, but the depth issue is the concern.  I suppose they can go get another goalie as needed.

And let us know how that winning goes if UPL or Levi goes down with an injury and the next goalie up hasn't proven they can make saves in the NHL.

Who should be in Rochester playing as much as possible

[That Aud Smell]

There is something objectively funny about Adams (1) clearly having had Reimer as part of his goaltending plan for the season and (2) then losing him to waivers at the start of the season.

Adams does not inspire confidence as a GM.

Yes cause the 3 headed goalie worked so well for them last season

there's a reason why 95% of the teams carry 2 

 

[pi2000]

Shoulda sent Levi down, smh.

Do you not understand he could have sent Levi down to play more and not lose all the quality depth?
