If he can be with them for only 14 days, I wonder why they didn't send him Wednesday, so he can get as much time there as possible.. unless the 14 days officially starts at the first game

There is a six day break after the game on the 4th. He will be there until the 5th. This gets him a couple days of time down there before game 1 instead of after he’s done playing.

 

[Nikolajs Sillers]

Looks like this was a plan all along.

 

[Jacob582]

Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't he now count against the 23-man roster limit?

If so, what was the other move?

No, he isn't on the active roster unless they call him back up.

I don't think he does since he's technically not on the NHL roster

 

[TheDawnOfANewTage]

Woot woot!

he’s on SOIR. He is technically on it.

You can do to injury rehab assignment.

he’s on team IR can be sent to Rochester before being activated for Sabres. Expect something similar with Quinn.

when Savoie is due to be called up they will decide on Benson staying. Savoie could replace Benson

 

[Ehran]

At least he collected a few NHL weekly paychecks but we won't see him again until Whahootchie's season is over.

Or they could carry 2 goalies. Radical idea but I feel like it could catch on around the league.

Probably to get reps with the NHL squad to see where is and what he needs developmentally wise

Id bet they wanted him to be completely healthy as well. I don't know that health played a role in timing but it could have.

I think they also want him to be delayed

with Benson sitting out yesterday. If he plays tomortow and following games then game 9 is November 1.

it potentially aligns that his call up is when Benson needs to be sent back to juniors if that was to occur

 

[Snippit]

I think there will be more pressure now on Savoie to outplay the likes of Kulich, Rosen, etc. in order for him to get NHL games. If he struggles to make an impact in these few AHL games he's probably going straight back to the Dub.

When I probably tore my labrum the shoulder came right out later in the week, in the middle of the night. I just popped it back in and went back to sleep...not a second thought. Turns out maybe that lack of pain was because my whole joint is too damn loose. Always seemed like a plus...but maybe not. So I guess I just don't know yet if my shoulder will "be right" going forward. Seems fine lately. I'll have to throw a baseball a hundred times to find out.

Don't.

Is Don trying to get the team in trouble? Asking if this "conditioning assignment" isn't really about conditioning?

He is ready for the pros sending him back has no benefit for him
