If the Sabres somehow made the playoffs, there's no doubt in my mind that Andy is the game 1 starter

Friedman on 32TP says before signing with the Sabres, Devon Levi wanted to make sure they believed in him and if he played well there was a path for him to get there faster than perhaps a lot other prospects would get.

Sure sounds like a player ticketed for Rochester to me

If I were a betting man
Comrie -> starter in Rochester
UPL -> traded
Levi -> backup in Buffalo
Anderson -> retired
Their starting goalie will be a UFA on a 2-3 year deal

Or a trade: Demko has 3yrs left, or maybe Anderson or Talbot, Valarmov on 2yr deals.

Is UPL waiver exempt Next Year, does he still have 1 more year with not meeting games required and only 4 years exempt, thought they got 5 if they don't meet the games requirement. Probably wrong, some of that sh!t is confusing.

I thought you said Levi.

UPL is not exempt next year.

The maneuver Bob Essensa wanted Bruins goalie Linus Ullmark to execute measures only two inches. Two inches. That’s all it would take, Boston’s longtime goaltending coach thought, for Ullmark to unlock a whole new level.

“Backflow” is the term Essensa uses for it: a situational backward movement a goalie employs, for example, on a point shot.

“Just a few inches,” Essensa says. “You get to your spot at the top of the paint. Typically when that happens, you’re going to have some sort of net-front (presence). So you get up to your net-front guy, give a little push-off, create that backflow. In my mind, and hopefully in their minds, you get to a second chance, a deflected puck, a rebound situation, a broken play quicker than they would have had they just been planted at the top of the paint.”

What does estimated mean though, he still hasn't hit some of the tiers.

These are and/or scenarios. 5 professional seasons, 70 whatever games.

Interesting, looked like Levi did that on Panarin's shot, pushed to the top of the crease.

Demko doesn't feel like their move. Probably cost a lot to get, expects to be #1, and the term is a little long.....assuming Levi is their plan.

I'd add guys like, Hill, Ranta, Halak, Rittich, and Reimer. There's a lot of decent options this year. Experienced guys who could be 1B.

In his case, it's not really an estimate, since he's hit both marks.

You probably meant a serviceable goalie like Varlamov or Andersen and not whatever nonsense was listed above

Meant what I said. Hill could easily be their top target, but those two are on the list as well.

Bennett still out, and Bob still has the flu or whatever. Lyon in goal.
