Pretty HIGH up in the air.
- jochfr

Idk if substances are involved, but the kid is battling depression or something else he needs help with. Been called the “franchise goalie” since they drafted him. Made a spectacular debut. Fans yelling out Knight during the anthem. Then some struggles last season, and bounced back after some games in AHL. This year kinda had expectations on him (from many) to unseat Bob from the starting role. Big struggles, ends up sitting around watching for the first time in his life. Then an injury and more struggles after coming back from that. A fan in Nashville (the last game Knight started, and got shelled badly) posted a video of him during pregame warmups. He was in the corner with a pile of pucks around him, looked like he was practicing putting. Something’s going on there beyond being a coke head or an alcoholic.

So we're going to help a team we're fighting for in the WC? Even if Anderson plays limited games? I don't see this every happening

Anderson is actually our inside man, going to kill their vibes and end their season.

Is Anderson really helping Florida win?

Remember when we traded kevin haller for Petr svoboda with Montreal at the deadline.

I see what you're saying , but there's some uniqueness to this situation with having 3 goalies and wanting a better one.

Makes sense to send Comrie for korpisalo, unless we still send upl down. Which makes zero sense.

Why on god’s green earth do people want Korpisalo?
- BeadyEyedDouche


He’s an upgrade from what we currently have and possibly dump Comrie.

He had a .913 save % on a terrible team that is tanking

UPL .893 save %
Comrie .882 save %

Clear upgrade. Cheaper than Demko

Yes a guy who plays once a week or 10 days is “helping” the panthers

Then we better be bringing Roslovic back with him because he is 28 and honest to god, just not that good.

I'm willing to share, with the few people that still read my posts.

Korpisalo in possibly, Anderson to Florida

Shoot the messenger

I like the move.
Maybe splits korpisalo / upl 60/40
Gives us an upgrade at goalie, and a guy that doesn't block levi as a ufa.
Also introduces korpisalo to buffalo, where he may stay as a free agent.

And he’s beloved in the Sabres lockerroom. If he asked to be traded to finish off his career in front of his family, then I could see it happening, but I would think he’d want to stay in Buffalo and try and help see the process through - playoff appearance.

Why does sending UPL down make 0 sense, if you acquire someone?

Andy has done enough and they were ready to move him to the panthers last year if they had interest.

This year. Spencer knight is away from the team

Maybe we don’t want kev to make any more trades, cuz that does not seem like a good one.

Makes zero sense to me, following the develop your own playbook the Sabres use.

I think they want to see what upl can do or not do. In the nhl. He is waiver exempt 🤔

Signed for next year, I'll take moving on from Bryson in your top 6 as a great move

Took way too long to move on from Bryson + Fitz, will never understand their confidence in those 2. Clague was just a depth guy slightly better than them, not a solution.
