Poor guy can't stay in one place! Probably clears and going to AHL.

Buffalo probably reclaims him

 

[Sabreality]

He better be on his way back to Buffalo.

I feel like Reim Time still could be a solid NHL backup. Hoping he gets claimed.

Dude very well may end up saving the Sabres season.

Potential to be this years greatest story

 

[Sensatauro]

No chance he clears.

I'd be shocked if Buffalo didn't claim him. We signed him for a reason....now he can fulfill that reason -- to be UPL's backup while Levi gets a ton of starts in Rochester.

Buffalo will claim him but he looked washed beyond belief in the one start I watched him against the Devils.

I know Anaheim isn't good defensively but neither is Buffalo. Good on the Sabes for getting their guy I guess but I can't really see a guy going on 37 moving the needle for them.

 

[elmaco]

One of those guys, "is he actually still in the nhl?"

 

[ICanMotteBelieveIt]

I thought he retired/left NA like 3+ years ago.

Thanks for your service

The most important thing is getting Levi everyday starts in Rochester instead of collecting dust and not developing behind UPL.

It would make all the sense in the world for Buffalo to reclaim him (I think they jump the line since they waived him this season, right?)

How good is he now? Back in 2017-18, he single-handedly lost several games for Florida, which is why they finished 1 point out of the playoffs. And in 2018-19 he simply was not an NHL-level goaltender.

 

[Stickpucker]

With Andersen hurt I could see Carolina claiming him.

What's his cap hit?

 

[Jumptheshark]

I forgot he was even still playing.

 

[Fjordy]

What's his cap hit?

1M, but Buffalo has to claim him before Canes.

Godboy is definitely nearing the end of his time in the league

Nope.

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

Pittsburgh could use him.

 

[biturbo19]

This was always basically the way this would go. Ducks claimed him while Gibson was injured, waive him...now Buffalo gets him back. Always seemed like basically a "loan" while the Ducks needed an NHL roster goalie and Buffalo probably wanted to find out where Levi was at and if he's ready.

 

[hotcabbagesoup]

Jerks, the man has a family you know.

Come home to San Jose, James.

 

[GordonGraham]

New Habs back up ?

No they don't.

They're presently 11th in line.

You're probably mixed up by the fact that they could send him down to the AHL if they're the only team claiming him.
