[Willgamesh]

Can't wait to see his Mask/Gear

Reinhart trade is looking AMAZING for us. We took Jiri Kulich with our 1st rounder from Florida....who is having a historically good AHL season for an 18 year old.

How far away is kulich from NHL ? Will he take Olofsson spot soon ?

Sometime later next season.

 

[Nikolajs Sillers]

Very, very happy. I was slightly worried. LEVItating.. I think that GM deep inside regrets for trading wrong goalie .Better for us.

Also: Habs fans can now go cry into some poutine.

I hear this is a sign and trade situation.

 

[Weltschmerz]

Now who gets sent down?

noone

I totally forgot what a drama that Reinhard trade was, crazy to read that now.

 

[Asymmetric Solution]

Wow That sounds awesome. Then reinhart trade looking very good ? Who did we draft in the 1 round with the first pick ?

Some guy named Juri Kulich

 

[Nikolajs Sillers]

Owen Power and Devon Levi’s hair game will take this team to the next level!

Anderson will hold them back

 

[Chainshot]

Anderson will hold them back

There has to be balance.

 

[Bobby Bottle Service]

He has the potential to go down as the 2nd best goalie to ever put on a Sabres uniform. Fingers crossed!

Better than Halak? U serious?

 

[K8fool]

Excellent!

What's the next thing to worry about?

boredoms of living forever

 

[Jacob582]

I read that Levi embraces the non-traditional patient approach to development.

Seems like he should have embraced signing his elc to start next year and gotten a lot of games in Rochester this year.

Going to MTL for Edmundson

 

[K8fool]

Yep and we haven't heard that this happened. It would also set up a possible WC invite after the season which has been part of some SN/THN talking points in the last few weeks.

master of cats and intra web. .. can he play games for sabres and be eligible for roc playoffs?

 

[Doug Prishpreed]

I didn't see many MTL folks who actually thought he was coming there. It was more good-natured trolling, which I can appreciate.

1) He'll be in the AHL next year regardless of when his ELC starts.
2) He's already played an entire season of college hockey. The idea that he'll step in and immediately take over a full workload in Rochester, where the schedule is far more intense than the NCAA schedule, does not sound especially patient, and also sounds like a way to wear himself out.

So does Buffalo have the most goalies on the roster? We need to be the best at SOMETHING this season.

I’m honestly a bit shocked he’s reporting to Buffalo. Excited, but shocked.

I'm not. He wants to burn a year of his rookie deal.

Strong expectations, but damn I’m excited to see him in our sweater.

It's a bit of trolling and seems like a bit of their version of people holding out that Pat Kane will demand a trade/sign with the Sabres because he's from town.

No.

Exactly. That's why I recognized it

 

[Cirris]

It's a relief. I didn't think Devin would do a Peterson, or Portillo. But there's always that chance these days. If Devin had announced he'd return to college another year, I would have been hyperventilating.

Still, he's a prospect, not a sure thing. Buffalo still needs to address goal tending for the next 2 years. And not pull another Comrie Style, "lets see" type deal.

I Heart Anderson; but he's on his last legs. UPL is sketchy at times. Comrie is failing to impress.
