Well that makes this signing a lot easier to understand.

Luukkonen reported to camp injured. "The signing of Georgiev is, in part, a response to an injury to starting goalie Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen. According to a league source, Luukkonen reported to camp with what is described as a “tweak.” The team is unsure of the extent of the injury and doesn’t have an exact timetable for when Luukkonen will be back to 100 percent." https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6623272/2025/09/12/sabres-sign-alexandar-georgiev-luukkonen-injury-goalie/

Or since Jose Threeorfour. 😉

This is idiotic. Not surprising, but idiotic.

What a mess. I read some of that court transcript. Pretty wild.

Yikes!!

Matt Ellis has never been on a first line.

If the cops faked the results because they are Maple Leaf fans! Come on man, that happens all the time

I did not know his nickname was Four-giev 😁 Best goalie name since Warren Scoragainstme

Adams spoke very highly of Lyon. Right now we have 4 goalies, which usually means we don't have a goalie.

Good point. I should have said “not convicted”.

NHL goaltending is a lot like MLB relief pitching. Outside of a couple of them you don’t want to commit too long to them because they have a couple good years then tank and then move around and you hope you have the key to get them back on track. No harm in signing the guy and hoping he rebounds in some capacity. Gives some depth when injuries kick in.

The legal process ran its course ending in acquittals. The legal standard was applied in the trial. And the outcome was acquittals for the accused. Because of the trial, a clearer picture of what happened in this tawdry episode is better known. The players should be allowed to place themselves on the NHL market. When teams are preparing their scouting reports on prospects character considerations are part of the evaluation. I wouldn't want any of them representing my organization. But that doesn't mean that they should be excluded from the profession if other teams are interested in them.

This is really expensive for an AHL back up goalie... I find it weird how often we throw out lots of contracts for around $1 million. I assume we're hoping one works out and it's a steal, but strange when we're allergic to spend to the cap to have so much dead weight over the last five years

I’d have to move the entire box behind the switch plate. It has 3 switches and with how this is cut into the wall, it’s a lost cause.

According to Puckpedia, Rosen and Ryan Johnson are both still waivers exempt.

I think Edmonton takes a run at Hart. Goaltending has been their weakness and McJesus is a pending UFA. Two SCF in a row. They recently brought in E Kane, so they are not scared of any backlash.

UPL should feel the heat. He may not respond well to a challenge but he has sucked so what should he expect.

Normally doesn’t happen but there is so much cap space around the league. McDavid was never in love with Edmonton. Kaprizov may want palm trees and money. Eichel has a Cup already and wants something else.

Ever heard of the four headed monster

I’m not sure a recent 14th overall pick would clear waivers to Rochester??

Wouldn't be surprised if Kaprizov, McDavid and Eichel all go to free agency and let the bidding war commence. I mean wouldn't you?

If this is the plan I am fine with this signing. Low risk reclamation project and if he is sensational in Rochester maybe he's an option down the road. If not whatever. Maybe helps Rochester win a title. If the plan is to trade UPL and go with Georgiev Lyon with Levi pressing for time then I just add it to the long list of Adams failures.

You know I saw an episode of The Hockey Guy about a week ago and he had polled his viewers and Sabres were predicted dead last in the division. So that's what non Sabres fans think. I can't figure out what Boston's doing so it's possible they are the dead last team instead but otherwise that's where I figure they end up. I am not confident of the Sabres being better than many Eastern teams. I'd expect better than Pittsburgh as well, but that's about it for sure. Somebody else might have a bad year and drop but otherwise most everybody looks better to me. I wish that wasn't the case.

You do know that it's not overly difficult to adjust the way a light switch is mounted, right? 😉 But, it probably is best to wait until wifey's B-Day to make that adjustment. Lets one get off with a cheaper "big" gift for that one. 😉
