Or we just trade for a stopgap goalie if that happens for a 5 or 6 that’s just as good or better than Reimer

Shoulda got one game in
Ratzlaff is in the WHL or the NHL this year. He can’t play for Rochester until Seattle’s season is done.

Meh. If you're down to your third goalie for a decent length of time, you're more than likely screwed anyways. I'd assume most organizations 3rd goalie aren't backup material, but someone can correct me if I'm wrong. It was nice having the goalie depth, but I do have faith Levi, so while I'm disappointed...I'm not jumping off the ledge, either.

What are the odds that Adams makes a move to acquire a goalie better than Reimer in an emergency situation and when other GMs are unlikely to throw him a lifesaver for less than a huge overpayment?

If it was that easy, the Ducks likely would have gone that route as opposed to trying to get Reimer via waivers.

It's either a social media typo or PuckPedia has the data wrong.Not arguing that point. That is why I am wondering what else a two-way contract would indicate other than different salaries.
Maybe a social media typo?

Although, this doesn't mention it being a two-way deal at all, either...
Given that they edited the post, my guess is that they updated it to not say it was a two-way deal because that was not the case.

Hm was there a necessity roster spot wise to do it now since the injuries happen or was he gambling he would make it through?
I probably would have liked them to carry Reimer a bit longer, at least through the first month, to see how things are going.
I wonder what he was told by Adams since he bought a house in the area.

They obviously decided that trying to get Reimer through was the smarter choice than sending Gilbert or Bryson down instead.
They had to waive 3 of Rousek, Clague, Reimer, Bryson, and Gilbert to get down to 23 with NAK going on IR and choosing to keep Kulich up.
Totally unrelated but I was wondering the other day, why can't Biron be the org's EBUG? Is there any rule preventing that?

We need a good goalie in Rochester so they can develop properly. I don’t like the two we have their now…probably won’t be good enough.
Why can’t Adams just overpay for a solid minor league guy like Subban? Oh yeah, other teams are offering him more money and Pegula won’t overpay.

They didn’t need to
Bc they knew waivers was an option - unlike every other time of year this a a hard deadline where multiple teams have to waive some decent players and goalies. Can’t just pretend that roster cutdown time is the same as the rest of the year

Pegula was just about to pay Reimer $1M to play in Rochester. Him paying for a goalie for Rochester isn't a concern in the least.
Wasn’t he going to pay reimer a million dollars to play on roch??? You think subbing is getting more than that?

That’s because he was insurance for the Sabres. I don’t think he’d be willing to overpay a guy who is Rochester-only.

No good veteran goalie will be Rochester only.

I actually remember that they tweeted it was a two-way, then deleted that and re-announced it as a one-way.It's either a social media typo or PuckPedia has the data wrong.

And we wonder why the Sabres are on NTC lists, and no one waives to come here.
A house in 716 is certainly cheaper than CA, he's not buying a house in CA.
Extreme paranoia.
I'll worry about this, if the need even arises. They won't need anyone 'better than Reimer' they would just need someone better than Sandstorm who wouldn't look completely out of place for a handful of NHL games. Those guys are always available.
If the doomsday scenario of both UPL/Levi getting hurt long term actually happened, we'd be screwed anyway. Reimer is a solid vet but he's not saving any team's season.

Well, they get called up when there are injuries, but then all the more important to have someone capable.
I don't know, goaltending is the only thing that's good on this team right now so I probably shouldn't complain.

To be fair, if our AHL prospects are going to make the Sabres and stay on this team, their confidence, morale, and sense of pride have to be broken. Best to get started early.
