The 2024-2025 Roster Thread

[Chainshot]

I assume this means they are keeping Helenius in Rochester then? Has that even been confirmed as the plan (vs. going back to Finland for another year)?

Seems like it, yeah.

 

[EichHart]

So Reimer is our #2 this year, Levi to Roc?

 

[Push Dr Tracksuit]

Why would they bench one of their PK guys?

because hes slow and bad?

 

[DapperCam]

I have no issue with Levi grabbing starts here and there in Buffalo when convenient. I don't think he should be going on any road trips. Assuming everybody is healthy all year he could grab 10-15 NHL starts without disrupting much. Reimer could grab another 15-20 which leaves UPL with 47-57 starts. He started 51 games last year, so it would be similar.

I think it’s weird how many posters are convinced Levi is headed to Rochester when every camp minute he has split the 1st-team game and practice reps 50/50 with UPL.

Meanwhile, Ruff talks about the need for 2 goalies and Reimer sits on the sidelines without a second of preseason action.

Explain to me why the Sabres have put their entire preseason focus on preparing their NHL roster except for the 2nd goalie spot.

I think people need to take a look at what’s actually been happening on the ice.

I am not convinced that Levi will go to Rochester.

I am not convinced that Reimer will get waived to Rochester, either.

I can't see them carrying 3 goalies again

 

[Sabre the Win]

I can't see them carrying 3 goalies again

I can and it horrifies me.

Honestly I would prefer Levi to get the starter roll in the AHL for this season. Get the bulk of the starts after Germany.

Adams has been asked about it and he said it was an option they were considering.

So, while I don't want them to carry 3 goalies, I am not going to be surprised if they do carry 3 goalies.
