lol, Sabres probably felt safe to waive Reimer knowing Boston wouldn't claim him. Poor Bussi. He was good in preseason and probably thought he was finally getting a shot. If I'm a team with iffy goaltending I'd claim him. 

Flyers goaltending is a mess, I don't know if claiming Bussi would change that, but I am not surprised if they do.

Isles waived former Sabre Hudson Fasching. When he was in college I thought he’d be a great scoring power forward.

He scored a goal in his first game, sparking a 2-0 deficit into a 3-2 regulation win against the Jets. Figured a good battle-winning, board-working 3rd liner. Didn't exactly pan out that way, but he is still playing 8 years later and is likely to be an injury call-up once again.

Hudson Fasching ***** us two seasons ago kicking in a goal. Pretty sure I remember a story of his and a special needs sibling that was pretty moving, too. That’s all I’ve got on the guy.

forgive me if this is a stupid question but what does this mean for our goalie situation? Does this cement Levi as the #2? I had hoped Levi would be getting the lions share of work in Rochester, just to get more reps. Idk if its ideal for his development to ride the pine, nor for UPL to see the heir apparent waiting to take your place. Competition can be good, so hopefully they'll push each other & become better versions of themselves. Lord knows we'll need them to

Yes it cements Levi as on the Sabres roster. Whether he’s 1 or 2 will depend on how they both play. But there is a chance Reimer comes back.

The Lucas Rousek era came and went like a fart in the wind.  He still may end up a serviceable bottom six player but I had tempered hope for the guy.  Seemed like a player the Sabres have few of.  

I think he scored in his first NHL game and then that was it.  He just did not do anything after that.

Is there any Reim-er reason in waiving Reimer?    He was going to provide veteran depth.   Are they bringing back Houser and/or Tokarski?

Houser is on an AHL deal with the Amerks.  Tokarski is in Otterland.

Is that near Polarbearland?

Is he though? I thought I had heard the same about Tokarski but when I checked earlier, he’s listed as a free agent. Was it a PTO?

No data.  Just know he played for them in the preseason against the Sabres.
