Not sure I understand this take. Reimer has been a more than adequate NHL backup, something the Sabres need desperately.

He hasn't been good in a few years, always seems to let in a back breaking goals and is mentally fragile. I like Adams addressing the goalie gap but he missed big on it.

Huh? These seem like very good stats for a backup. And every goalie lets in bad goals.

Three seasons ago was his last good year. SJS is bad, he gets some leeway there but last year with Detroit, he wasn't very good. Hope he proves me wrong but it feels like another Hutton/Dell/Comrie move.

Which 'magic bean' would you have preferred? These types are mostly interchangeable year to year, they likely weren't going to attract the highest quality backup (if any were even available), knowing that its UPL's net and that Levi will get his starts/knocking on the door too.

Ideally Stolarz or Wedgewood. Stolarz on a 1 year 4 million deal might have enticed him. Wedgewood on a two year 2 or 2.5 per year deal.

Regardless, this seems to have deviated.

Not to beat you up here buddy but those were pretty bad SJ and Det teams defensively. Whether the Sabres will be a better defensive team is still up in the air but the personnel is certainly better here.

It all depends on how you measure goalies.

Anthony at xBuffalo did a deep dive on goalies and one thing that blew his mind was that Reimer was one of the most consistent goalies year to year when factoring in the team in front of him.

The worst case scenario is that Reimer is toast and that just allows Levi to be the back-up.

I gave him some leeway for SJS, they were flat out bad. Detroit was much better defensively and he reversed to league average goaltending. I hope he can be stable for us as Devon could use one more year, I just don't think Reimer has it anymore after watching him last year.

Something I just noticed - the exhibition game in Germany takes place before the final two preseason games.

I guess this means we won't see a lot of cuts before the end of the preseason since we will still need to ice a full team for those two games. More or less extra preseason games for the Roch group.

Unless I'm missing something?
