I just posted something in the GDT thread. First, the Sabres donโt want to ride Anderson and squeeze out every last bit of energy he has. Anderson doesnโt want the Sabres to do that. When he agreed to return, Iโm sure playing time was discussed and the agreement was that Anderson would get adequate rest. It takes longer to recover as you age, even from day to day work. It took him a long time to recover from his injury last year and Iโm guessing he contributed the injury, in part, to his playing schedule and not being able to rest his body adequately.
The bottom line is, the Sabres will not be riding Anderson like they would a hot young goalie so this is a totally moot point.
