Retire and stay as assistant goalie coach for the year, emergency back-up
- Buff36

Can one retire and un-retire like that? That would obviously be more ideal, although it would assume that Anderson would be ok with that.

Lots of circumstance in buffalo though.

41 year old guy, oldest in the league
Comrie coming off of an injury
Upl having a career of injuries

I think we keep 3 or waive comrie.....
Maybe fake IR move
- Boss34

im telling you this will not happen.

If you did the Anderson to IR because old move, isn't the logjam on defense easy to solve?

Fitzgerald is waived, and that solves it?

Fitting 3 goalies is easier than keeping 3 goalies.

Pretty much
- Buff36

ir for a week, migraines

send 6k down for a game and play anderson

put anderson back on ir for migraines and call 6 k back up


probably get away with it 2 times

Would be great if Anderson conveniently went on IR tomorrow. Just keep pushing back a real decision. If he can only play once a week, use the rules to your advantage.

gross violation of CBA right here, CBA guy

13 games in next 23 days

if there was ever a time to do it, it's now with anderson only good for 1 game a week

I bet he goes to IR tomorrow. Especially after playing tonight. Very easy to sell a tweak or soreness after a game

Not only will it not happen, it shouldn't happen. Comrie deserves a chance to play in front of the current team.

Perhaps.

Folks can hate it all they want but as a recent free agent signing, teams are not keen on getting rid of players so quickly. It's a bad look for them and turns future players off from potential signings.

The league has the flashlight pointed at Buffalo knowing their starting goalie announced he's now healthy to return.

This would be pretty gross.

It also wouldn’t be the first time it’s happened, and why exactly do we think the league cares to even investigate something like this?

They basically encourage cap circumvention

True, but Comrie could also end up being a good goalie. We know we're only getting another 4 months of Anderson at most.

Comrie 4 -7

He doesnt deserve a spot over either anderson or upl

Guys won 4 games as a buffalo sabre and 17 nhl games in his career. Anderson deserves the respect , he's earned it.

Hilarious that you guys want him just to fake an injury or become a coach 😀

You're talking about an all time nhl goaltender.
Frindge nhl hall of Famer.
Guys putting in the time and effort to play the game he loves ☝️

The current team is the same team. Now Samuelsons playing. ( not well Saturday)

I like Sammy but he hasn’t played well for a lot of this year.

Comrie would have been a restricted free agent for Winnipeg had they played him a few more games.

They let him walk. Continued to play hellybuck. They were out of the playoffs. If he had any value, they would have played him a few more games and retained him as a rfa

They didnt.

We tried for at least 2 other nhl goalies and probably more, as trade targets.

Comrie is similar to Elmer asplund.
Tweener , unproven nhl player

Why wouldn't management want to take a look at the future in upl? His decision is more important to this franchise.

Slow footed at times. His size and reach make up for some of his short comings....

Still very young, very few NHL games when you think about it.

- Slump Buster

We have no clue who the better goalie is going to be over the next 10-20 games. They have to make a decision based off very small sample sizes that look almost identical.

All three of them looked like garbage when 23 was out. This is far, far, far from the same team than it was a few weeks ago. The organization needs to find out what it has in Comrie if for no other reason than Anderson being 41 years old.

People are giving waaaayyy too much credit to Samuelsson for the W-L record.

We couldn’t score or make saves like we have during the 8 game losing streak. It wasn’t just the D.

That's how many goals we scored on the losing streak. The myths of Mattias Samuelsson are like Kiko Alonso. We gave up a slew, but we give up a slew almost every game.

Basically clague is in and joker out
I think you're using the term far far far from the "same team" inappropriately.

The same team , with the same roster , coaches and management are playing better.
Winning more games, since 4-7 comrie isnt playing? 🤔

Also, let me add the notion of displacing Craig Anderson in any way for Eric Comrie is as dumb as the day is long. Anderson is as steady as Old Faithful. Who the hell doesn't want a guranteed 915% once a week? I know all we have to do is score 3 tonight. As good as UPL has been. Can we ever really say that?

Andy has my faith, and he should have yours. A fake injury for a guy who plays great every time. You guys should lay off the booze and smoke a little dope.
