Rochester Americans and Jacksonville Icemen 2024 Off-season Thread.

[Gabrielor]

Mersch was a good captain.

He was the captain of the best playoff run of a hockey team I like in nearly 2 decades.

Who is getting the goalie starts in Rochester. I really hope Reimer passes waivers because Sandstrom looks like hot garbage some nights and the kids down there should be taught to win and not handicapped..

I'd be surprised if they attempt to waive Reimer. It should be Levi/Sandstrom in Roch with Houser in Jax.

Given Reimer's salary and history........I cannot imagine that he'd go unclaimed. Which is why I don't think we're going to try to waive him.

I think what will happen is that we'll send Levi down to get a lot of starts in Rochester and then call him up some nights to get a good handful of NHL games in.

With Gibson being out a while in Anaheim, I would expect them to be really interested in any vet goalie that goes on waivers between now and opening night.
