Once they activated Comrie the emergency loan on UPL expired so they were locked in.

I'd bet a lot that they carry 3 goalies starting...well tomorrow maybe.

I really don't think so.

I think we'll hear something tomorrow. In order of likelihood I think:

1 Fitz waived
2. Hino/Asplund trade
3. Hino/Asplund waived
4. The slightest knock to Okposo or Bryson tonight landing them on IR

I dont think they want to lose either fringe forward though cause theyve got okay replacement level numbers.

Sounds like an interesting 'discussion' with KA and the trainer tonight.

Wouldn’t surprise me if it’s Asplund traded. Low AAV, and he could’ve very quietly requested out

The preference they've shown shown him over the last year is crazy.

His involvement was 110% the "Future Considerations" in the Butcher deal. They ate 1 mil salary and gave us a 5th.

We gave Fitz 59 games, which was 58 and 2/3 too many.

Mfers owe us Nemec.

Luukkonen will still play significant games with the Sabres.

The Buffalo Sabres have activated goaltender Eric Comrie from injured reserve and loaned goaltender Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen to the Rochester Americans (AHL).

Oh boy. This doesn't make much sense to me as he had been hot lately.... Don't know the specifics of the Sabres roster break down but I was hoping UPL would provide me with some steady fantasy goaltending....



When do you guys expect he gets called back up?

That's a good one, I like it.

Have a frustration that all these extended looks haven't resulted in more change. Lyubushkin for 2 years isn't what I want from watching Fitz, Bryson, and Joker for so long. They were so content, they stopped drafting D.

Tomorrow...

This was Anderson's start it looked like, my guess he is back "up" soon. Sounds like this was just a paper transaction anyway and he is still in Buffalo

Takes a day to clear waivers, so unless they play the injury card or make a trade, seems like Comrie tomorrow.

Think the drafting is a philosophical shift. There's a belief that going forward heavy is better value long term.

Idk why they signed Lyubushkin. Maybe an image rehab play with the Russian community.
