UPL.
There is a very real chance that the majority of starts Levi gets will be in the AHL.
Yeah, I’d be pretty surprised if it isn’t UPL/Reimer to start the season and Levi owning the cage in Rochester. Even if he forces the issue with stellar play in the preseason UPL had such a great season last year that he would be very difficult to unseat.

Levi is their second best, why would they put him in Rochester?
He'll start 30--35 for the Sabres.

So many times, the answer to why a player is assigned to the minors is “because he can be”. We have three NHL goalies and only two realistic spots to start the season, it’s better for the team and the player to see him getting as many starts as possible right out of the gate.
So did Ruff actually say that the 1A should get limited starts, is that what we think he means when he says it's a 2 goalie league now?
Assuming neither goalie gets hurt, does this cap UPL at 54 games, maybe less? If Levi gets 28 games or more I guess it's fine, if Ruff has more confidence with him in net than Reimer.
Reimer has the best chance of clearing waivers at the start of the season. He can be recalled at not have to clear waivers again, until he plays 10 games. And he wouldn't play 10 games unless one of UPL/Levi get hurt.
I would still prefer Levi be the primary Rochester goalie with a couple games a month in Buffalo. I don't think Levi is a .910 goalie this season, and I don't think Reimer is falling off bigly this year (sub .900)

That is what he said - it is a 2 goalie league now. People who were thinking the Ruff of 20 years ago rode into town regarding the goaltending use will have to catch up.
Something around that. Luukkonnen had 51 starts and later in the season fatigue seemed to be creeping in. I would think they try to balance a bit better. Perhaps Bales has figured out how to schedule it better but we'll see.
I don't know if he clears. The easier/safer move would be sending Levi down. Having Sandstrom as the 3 would be too much risk.
Same. I want him to be the NHL 2 but the AHL 1.

I'll believe Lindy is for two goalies when he doesnt ride UPL if he has a .915 or higher

I'm glad Lindy knows it's a 2 goalie league. Don't carry three!
Seriously? In the day when it’s a 2 goalie league? That’s bullshit.

We don't know what the expansion rules will be yet.
They COULD be the same as Vegas and Seattle, but they might not.

There hasn't even been official word that expansion is happening.
I saw a story recently that they're voting on Oct 1 to open another expansion window.
If they do (and I fully expect them to), I think it's safe to assume that interested parties will have 1 to 2 years to submit applications. Then a while for the NHL to review them.
Then a couple years before they begin play. So my best guess is 3 to 4 years before there is an expansion draft.
But.. what the hell do I know. At $1BN per expansion team in basically pure profits the owners may fast track everything.
