But why

Rumors that UPL has covid. No actually proof, just dot connecting on twitter.

My guesses are:

1) they are getting ready to trade one or more goalie

2) Ullmark isn’t coming back this season

3) they are preparing to tank

4) All of the above

The Amerks or the Sabres because the Sabres are already the worst team in the league.

He was signed to an NHL deal.  He was here on an AHL deal.  This is a nothing signing.  My guess is JoJo is getting traded and we another warm body.

Yes, they have to have three due to covid protocols. With Ullmark hurt they would have to recall UPL. This allows him to stay where he is if there is a trade.

This, given the rumoured interest. Or, as likely, one of JJ, Hutton or Tokarski is hurt and they need a body for the taxi squad.

It's like when you're one spin away from solving the Rubik's cube.

Wait.  No.  It's nothing like that.  Not that I know what that feels like, anyway.

Yeah, it's more like when you've been twisting it for years, thought you might be close and then realized that it was just as mixed up as ever.

I'm guessing JJ is on the move for a 5th to Colorado.

Houser backs up UPL in Roch

Tokarski backs up Hutton until Ullmark returns.

 

UPL or Houser temporarily is made the Taxi Squad goalie

If we are trading with Colorado... make it bigger and get Newhook.

Houser played three seasons (2009 – 2012) of major junior hockey in the Ontario Hockey League with the London Knights. He was recognized for his outstanding play during the 2011–12 OHL season when he was selected as the OHL Goaltender of the Year[1] and named to the OHL First All-Star Team. Houser was also awarded the Red Tilson Trophy as the OHL's Most Outstanding Player.[2]

Houser attended the Florida Panthers’ 2012 development camp,[3] and on July 9, 2012 the Panthers signed him to a three-year entry-level contract.[4]

As a free agent at the conclusion of his entry-level contract with the Panthers, Houser was signed to a one-year AHL contract with the Ontario Reign, affiliate to the Los Angeles Kings on September 14, 2015.[5]

As a free agent from the Reign, Houser attended the Columbus Blue Jackets training camp on a professional try-out. On October 14, 2016, Houser signed a one-year AHL contract with the Blue Jackets affiliate and defending champions, the Cleveland Monsters.[6] Houser appeared in a single game with the Monsters during the 2016–17 season, playing primarily with the Cincinnati Cyclones of the ECHL, registering 22 wins in 41 games.

In the following off-season, Houser agreed as a free agent to a one-year, one-way AHL contract with the Tucson Roadrunners on July 28, 2017.[7]

As a free agent, Houser continued his journeyman career in joining his fifth AHL organization, the Rochester Americans on a one-year contract on September 11, 2018.[8] He continued to play the duration of the 2018–19 season in the ECHL, returning for his fourth season with the Cincinnati Cyclones. As the starting goaltender for the Cyclones, Houser recorded his best professional season, collecting 29 wins in 41 games to be named to the ECHL First All-Star team and the ECHL's Goaltender of the Year.[9]

On August 29, 2019, Houser as a free agent was re-signed by the Americans to a one-year AHL contract.[10]
