Confirmed with Link: Sabres Sign G James Reimer to 1-year, $1 million Deal; On Waivers 10/6/2024, Claimed by Anaheim

DapperCam · 2024-10-07T14:17:05-0400

Not really sure what the plan was here, lol. Maybe Reimer looked bad in camp.

Doug Prishpreed · 2024-10-07T14:17:32-0400

I'm sorry you guys aren't able to see the 3D chess board that Adams is playing with. All part of the plan to get to the playoffs this year, which is going perfecly.

Jacob582 · 2024-10-07T14:19:40-0400

John Gibson was projected to be out 3-6 weeks. That is a return date of October 17th to November 7th.

Very likely Reimer will hit waivers again soon.

Mattilaus · 2024-10-07T14:20:59-0400

I don't particularly care. If both our goalies end up getting hurt at the same time we're likely screwed anyways. Regardless of whether we have Reimer or not.

Veteran backup goalies with Reimer's history have value, so it's not surprising. Levi is a backup NHL goalie now. Great planning Kevyn!

Levi being in Buffalo isn't a problem for me.

Sandstrom being the next man up if UPL or Levi gets hurt is.

Ace · 2024-10-07T14:26:39-0400

Levi wasn’t going down anyway. This doesn’t do anything to the UPL/Levi plan. It wasn’t a paper transaction…their intention was for Reimer to go to Rochester. Which was reported exactly as such.

What sucks is having a terrible goalie situation in Rochester and a terrible organizational #3. That has to be fixed immediately. Given Adams’ timelines expect that to be fixed somewhere around 2028. But hey, another million saved!

Beerz · 2024-10-07T14:31:16-0400

Why not just claim Bussi or another now? .. I know that would mean they have to be on NHL roster .. but for how long?

Reimer vs Sandstrom is an absolutely massive difference though

I do not understand why we are “developing” Levi by having him spend 45+ games on the bench when he could be playing every night in Rochester. Anyone got a clue? Like come on Levi is awesome but he is far from being a finished product

As soon as you try and send a waiver claim down, they go on waivers with their original team having first shot.

Too late, they would have had to make that claim before 2:00 pm.

I am not a goaltending or player development expert. Maybe they think that while he is not a finished product, that he has more to gain off facing NHL shooters, less often than AHL shooters more often. Maybe the team's goal is still to make the playoffs and Levi as back up gives them the best chance of that.

We can't complain that the team is too focused on development and not enough on being competitive and then also be mad they decided to roster their 2 best goalies.

I want to be clear, I am not condoning signing reimer just to lose him. I think the plan to find an organizational 3rd was poorly executed, but I am also fine with Levi in the NHL.

This is country club Buffalo. Levi cannot be sent down or his feelings will be hurt. Not good for the room.

Haven't you heard? We don't care about development or not blocking the prospects any more. We want to win.

Another Adams special. Pay Reimer or create a bonus structure to discourage a waiver claim and doesn't happen.

He for sure biffed it. I just don't really care.

I agree, but probably wouldn't have stopped the Ducks (they're well under the cap)

We had the cap room to way overpay him and make him unclaimable.

Ducks have $20M in cap space.

old kummelweck · 2024-10-07T14:57:52-0400

It was a two-way deal. That kinda indicated they wanted him in Roch.

Ehran · 2024-10-07T14:58:30-0400

Didn't I read somewhere in a post that Reimer bought a house here in Buffalo?

:huh:
