inkman Posted November 12 Report Posted November 12 I’ll be pleasantly surprised if he’s picked up Quote

DarthEbriate Posted November 12 Report Posted November 12 Levi needs to play many games. Sandstrom is hurt and out for who knows how long. The other goalies on NHL contracts are kids. Get Reimer as your back-to-back guy and ride Luukkonen in the hope you get a clone of last year's performance until Levi forces your hand. 3 2 Quote

msw2112 Posted November 12 Report Posted November 12 One way to look at it is that Reimer is SO BAD this season that he's been waived by not 1, but 2 lower-tier teams. Then again, Levi has looked pretty bad when in net for the Sabres, so how much worse could Reimer be? And to rebuild Levi's confidence and get him some rhythm, he needs to play. If he plays, UPL loses his rhythm. So the answer is probably to reclaim Reimer and have him back up UPL, while Levi plays a lot in Rochester. They can bring Levi up for periodic starts like they did later in last season, to keep Reimer out of the nets Reimer could be a game-day backup/injury replacement, but not get any (or get VERY few) starts. 1 Quote

Have you seen Dostal’s numbers? He’s been getting that way too early Vezina talk. Quote

I looked up his stats. He started two games on a terrible team. The two teams were the devils and vegas. 1 Quote

Meanwhile, Dostal has been amazing with a .922 and still is only 4-5-2 (4-7). If Reimer can be reclaimed, and can give the Sabres 20-25 stable, veteran, career-Reimer-level games of .895-.905 sv%, then can go .500 and then work hard in front of UPL to get him at .910 or higher, then you hope TNT is healthy, the offense is good, and let the chips fall where they may. 1 Quote

WhenWillItEnd66 Posted November 13 Report Posted November 13 Levi needs to be in Rochester playing fulltime. He will not mature sitting on the bench with a game every 2 weeks. Reimer cannot be any worse then what we have seen average wise this year. 1 2 Quote
GASabresIUFAN Posted November 13 Report Posted November 13 (edited) With UPL out with an injury. This is Levi's time to shine. When is Houser being recalled? Edited November 13 by GASabresIUFAN Quote

Carmel Corn Posted November 13 Report Posted November 13 (edited) According to Friedman, Buffalo claims Reiner. Assume he stays with Buffalo at this point with UPL out (or no)? Or do we have to make room in the roster for him and send somebody down….not sure how this works. Nevermind….Muel put on IR to make room for Reimer Edited November 13 by Carmel Corn Quote

Assume he stays with Buffalo at this point with UPL out (or no)? Or do we have to make room in the roster for him and send somebody down….not sure how this works. I think he can be sent directly to Rochester unless Buffalo doesn’t want that. It happened with the Jets and Kakkonen yesterday in an identical waiver claim situation. Quote
LGR4GM Posted November 13 Report Posted November 13 Buffalo claimed him https://bsky.app/profile/llysowski.bsky.social/post/3lau25tyjwk2n Samuelsson to IR, Reimer to the active roster 1 Quote

AHL is only possible if we were the sole team to make a claim; otherwise I'd guess Levi goes down or we carry 3 goalies with Muel on IR presumedly. 1 Quote
LGR4GM Posted November 13 Report Posted November 13 Here's the official announcement with Samuelsson on IR, Buffalo doesn't has to make any other move. Quote
