Sabres sign goalie Alexandar Georgiev to a one year 825k deal

Hmmm. Someone isn't ready for the preseason. Because he's not an upgrade on anyone except Lyon, and Lyon is a proven backup who knows how to sit for a time and come in and give you .900.

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.

Pushing Levi for net time in Roc?

Or a top tier AHL #2 cuz they are going for it?

I think they’re loading up for the Amerks to be GOOD. Heck of an offseason for Karmanos.  While he did not replace the goals of Murray or Jobst…he beefed up the roster, added a pugilist, upgraded the blue line, and greatly upgraded G2. It’s clearto me  Rosen will be waived and hopefully slip back to ROC (I think that’s likely) to join Konsta & Östlund for offensive production.  I’m excited!

Yeah, still not fully getting this move.

 

Guess Adams is thinking what better way to clear up 3 ???'s at G than by adding a 4th?

Thinking about this, it’s almost like GMKA is gathering an additional dart to throw if UPL washes out again like he did last year.

It’s not ideal as UPL is the only real plan the Sabres have. But if he returns to NHL average, this helps out Rochester a lot (Sandstrom as the backup last year was meh at best).

Decent idea and cheap... more competition and if Gourgiev gets his groove back who knows... Goalies can be such a fickle position... worth a flyer.

They are going to bring back The three headed monster!
