Thought you guys might’ve grabbed him. There is talent there, just has been inconsistent. Maybe they’re gonna wait and see how he looks in MTL, and then take him when Habs have to waive him for Price’s return.

I think the Sabres are just going to let Anderson and Dell play. I like Tokarski over Dell personally. Should be awful!

The amazing part is that you could argue it's better than last year.

Dell has had some mild NHL success

.931 in 20 games in 16/17
.914 in 17/18 in 29 games

Since then not so much

They could claim as many as they want, but they don't have a place to put all these goalies.

He played the other night with their most NHL caliber lineup.

I don’t think there’s much of a shot he’s waived

Will be interesting to see. Don't think he's in their top 6. On the bubble.

If they keep him. They'll waive someone else who would be an option.

Would be pretty surprising considering they have him a multi year deal

it's a 2 year deal for close to his QO amount. Always a question if they want him in the press box or try to sneak him through waivers. Wouldn't surprise me either way. If someone got hurt this week, it wouldn't be surprising either.

With the exception of Ullmark, absolutely. He finished 9-6-3 w/ a .917

No one on this team will touch either number.

Ullmark's points percentage last year was better than the St. Louis blues

I'm including Ullmark, and the fact that he didn't give them many starts.

Boston's preseason game against the Rangers is packed with fans, looks like a regular-season game and then there is last night in Buffalo with many veterans dressed. Hockey Purgatory or Hell?

Certainly able to withstand an injury in net better this season. KA put us in an embarrassing situation last year.

If/when there's an injury at C this year....

They should have pulled the plug on Hutton after year two but they were partially hamstringed by the contract. They had no salary cap space.

They probably should have gone to Tokarski sooner not that it would have mattered much

Yeah, it could happen, id just be a little surprised, especially with one of the AGM’s being very familiar with him

Could be very entertaining if he is waived and goes unclaimed.
