Mitts for ROR straight up.

Buys the team IR time. Sabres get a faceoff guy for the playoffs

Comrie was a disaster before he was hurt. I get there many other injuries (23 especially), but I would personally be thrilled if he was claimed away. Next year, UPL as 1 and find a vet to play 15 games through January and bring Levi from Roch if mystery vet doesn't look good. Guessing 3.62/.887 won't be hard to match.

What happens if UPL gets hurt? Subban is your #1?

Can't put yourself in that situation.

What would you do now? Comrie as your #1? We would be cooked either way!

Is 'old' an injury? Put Anderson on IR.

There's no good answer. They put themselves in this situation. A backup who can't play more when needed is incredibly awkward.

the down side is anderson can't play more than 2 games a week, usually 1 game

the flip side is in his 13 starts
4 bad starts allowing 4 or more goals
7 good starts allowing 2 goals or less

Comrie is no better. If UPL gets hurt we need to overuse Anderson, which won't be allowed again this year. Comrie does not improve the situation unless he starts playing well. Let's hope UPL doesn't get hurt. Dahlin certainly doesn't seem to like anyone going near him. The guys tosses a lot of crosschecks to the neck.

Was it Dahlin who knocked someone into Comrie? Been a while...

Maybe the best play of the year by Dahlin, and that's saying a lot.

One thing I've learned from seeing these situations is that GMs are overwhelmingly going to take the path of least resistance when conducting roster moves.

Waivers exemption is prioritized extremely heavily, whether right or wrong. But we'll see

Can't just let him go. To much of a injury issue with are goalie's.
Edit: oops sorry Gr I hit the wrong one, this was supposed to be to FireRuff

I agree. Hope they fall out of a playoff spot and the Sabres take their place.
