GASabresIUFAN Posted October 4, 2021 Report Share Posted October 4, 2021 Max Lagace Garrett Sparks Alex Lyon Any interest? I have some interest in Sparks and Lyon, but they are more of the same, except Lyon is 24 and has a chance of developing into something still. He was good at Yale.

GASabresIUFAN Posted October 5, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2021 Hutchinson on waivers from Tor. He is definitely a step up from Dell or Tokarski. Go get him tiger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go get him tiger. While he is a step up from Dell, it is doubtful that's he's an improvement over the Toker. That was the point of the 'or' right? 😉 And he IS a step up over Dell AND UPL.

dudacek Posted October 5, 2021 Report Share Posted October 5, 2021 I wonder if Adams has any intention of a goalie upgrade. If he does, it should come via trade, not the waiver wire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Anderson was brought in because they want a veteran in Buffalo to work with UPL so even if he doesn’t play a lot he can still learn. Dell was likely a cheap option in case of injury or if UPL proves to not be ready and to put a solid tandem in Rochester to get those kids competing.

Maybe completely ignoring Sabres Twitter was a bad idea for me. This is like the third thing I’ve just flat out missed. Scratch that: not a bad idea. Good for mental health. Bad for conversation.

It may have even been Plan A after Ullmark left. After watching what Dell and Lukkonnen have delivered I would hope it's not still the plan.

Have 0 expectation they do so unless it's part of the Eichel package and even then put it under 10% likely. Which is ridiculously frustrating. So waiver wire becomes the hope.

Brawndo Posted October 5, 2021 Report Share Posted October 5, 2021 Both the Sabres and Coyotes are paying the least amount of money allowed for the goalie position per the CBA, 1.5 Million for both the starter and the backup. They are not claiming anyone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GASabresIUFAN Posted October 6, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2021 Curtis Mcilleaney (sp) and Anthony Stalock off the top of my head are two recent waiver claims who came in and paid immediate dividends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which time McIlhenny was claimed off waivers? This is what I'm getting at. Yeah, they might be better than what you have if you are the Sabres but that's more an indictment of the Sabres than an endorsement of the guys on waivers. I didn't say you can't get a guy. I'm saying your odds are extremely long that you find any type of serious help. Much more often than not the guys waived are AHL tendies or NHL jags and they stay that way. We aren’t looking for an all-star. We are looking for a legit NHL goalie to bridge this season. Those guys can be found on waivers. When Ben Bishop is waived would you say no?

RangerDave Posted October 6, 2021 Report Share Posted October 6, 2021 Would you trade Eichel straight up for any NHL goalie? If so, which one(s)? I think it is more difficult to get a good goalie than it is a 1C, so if one came up in trade talks, I would probably jump at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
