Has to stay in Juniors for this year, unless the Sabres want to introduce him to the goalie tire fire. 

Based on his preseason play I’d say he’d be an improvement over Sandstrom.

Too young to be in Rochester this season until the end. Besides, the T-birds need him.

Which reminds me I need to go to a game soon. Alas, Panocha's dismissal from his WHL squad means there's no Sabres head-to-head prospect games to check out.

Yep.  During the CHL season, he can only get called up to the Sabres and only in an "emergency" situation.  I.e., UPL or Levi are unavailable due to injury or suspension and he'd have to go back as soon as the situation is remedied.  (And, would have to reread the CBA, but want to say there is a maximum length of time he can be on the recall.)  (And on a further technicality, not sure if because he wasn't "loaned" before he signed his Sabres deal whether he even qualifies for a "recall."  Had he signed prior to getting returned to Junior in TC he definitely would've been eligible.  Now, he probably is, but don't know that for certain.)

(Soooooo annoying that the transfer agreement between the NHL & CHL isn't publicly available.)
