Sabres sign goalie Alexandar Georgiev one year deal; UPL has undisclosed injury

[GoPuckYourself]

Either way we aren’t going anywhere with our goaltending unless Levi turns into a legit top tier player this season.

Have to agree:

Only improvement from the internal. 

Don’t think we see any big swings at outside additions, GT or otherwise, until Levi’s arrival. I do think we are on the Levi timeline

I'm guessing this as well.

Georgiev had a good age 26 season, but it's otherwise been a downward spiral for him. He gets a chance to get a mini resurrection to his career --- but he is not blocking Levi if Luukkonen is out for a longer term. No timetable seems... either like normal Ruffspeak or a bit alarming. 

If UPL misses extended time, its very likely levi.  I think Georgiev would clear waivers, or you keep 3 (because you have none).

and so it begins. 

UPL has "tweaked" something and camp hasn't even started. 

Injuries will be the 25/26 excuse. Start a thread now. This is the first. There will be many more.

How does it feel to live with a noose and a chair already prepared?

You start Lyon and backup with Georgiev. You want Levi getting starts unless he proves he's better than Lyon.

Even though the move was validated by news of a potential injury to UPL - he's still a Lou-who-Zer-her.

The Loser - Sabres style 

In the time of J BriseBois He was donkey,

Analytics on my brains, and I'm out to sign a goalie

With season ticket calls, suck down the edibles

Old Fashioned brawls with the cheesecake embryos.

 

Kill the PK and put it in the neutral zone

Francise is flamin with a  loser in the GM suite

Eichel in Vegas  with a name on the cup,

Got a couple of draft picks, still off the hot seat.

 

Someone came, saying I'm insane to complain

About,  New York State taxes and the lack of a palm tree.

Don't believe everything that you read

You get a play-off hibernation  and a fanbase left to grieve

So ask us to brace, with some grace and a snark

Saving all your Sabres cheques and hoping just to catch a spark

Yo, quit it.(please)

 

eres un perdedor

You’re a loser baby, so why don't we fire you!

Out of curiosity, what would people expect Florida to do if Bob showed up for camp with an injury that was going to keep him out?

So Adams has gone from years of pencilling Levi in as the NHL goalie to now putting guys in place to keep Levi from the NHL.

And I have no problem with Levi starting in the AHL again but this was not Adam’s plan 2 years ago. Shows how clueless he is.

I agree with some others that this probably means someone is injured in net right now and this is an insurance plan.

How is it his fault that Levi has regressed every chance he has gotten to show what he can do in the NHL?

So did he "win the trade"?
