Wish we had this guy 5 years ago.

Give me a break. They already have their starter.

Kinda grossed out by this signing but whatever he won't be on the team for very long

I mean, he’s a legitimate experienced goalie who is serving as a #2 or #3 goalie. He gives them an option to keep Devon Levi’s development on a measured level.

I really like this signing. I am hoping he is our defacto 2 and Levi gets the starts he needs in Rochester.

He should be the NHL backup and Levi starts in Rochester. That's the way a real team would work, but Buffalo probably already guaranteed Levi would start the season on the main club.

 

[Husko]

This is a fine signing.

What kind of break do you need? How many starts are you giving UPL? 50? 60?

Reimer was signed as a veteran organizational 2nd or 3rd goalie.

I feel a lot better about Reimer in this slot this year as opposed to Comrie in this role last season.

Of the UFA depth goalie options, Reimer is one of the best signings out there. Nobody that is signing a one year deal to be a veteran option behind UPL and Levi is going to be a Vezina candidate in waiting.

 

[Ralonzo]

In what world is Sandstrom getting 20+ starts with one injury unless it's UPL done for the season Game 1? And in that case, KA goes shopping.

We need Reimer's first appearance as a Sabre at the Grease Pole Festival.
