Sabres Waiver Claim Colten Ellis

[Eleven]

You know what?  Start the guy tomorrow.  We know what we're getting in Lyon.  3-4 goals per game and whatever.  Let's see what Ellis can do.  Losing 6-3 doesn't hurt anymore than losing by any other score, and just maybe the kid can hold the net down.

I mean I certainly would rotate one game/one game until one of them shows better then the other, and I do agree Ellis is intriguing

So some of you guys think Ellis is another Binnington from the Blues AHL system?

Can't speak for anyone else, but personally expect he's better than Georgiev.  How much better?  No data.  

And considering UPL is broken once again, and they seem adamant to have Levi be THE guy in Ra-cha-cha, they needed somebody better than Georgiev to pair with Lyon.

But, hey, they're only 2 points out of 1st and have a game in hand.  Hope springs eternal. 

Last year by the time they had the home opener they were 2 games under 0.500.  Baby steps.

More likely Hutton.
