Meant Monday. Think they have to play as though they are in it.

This really has nothing to do with asset management.

If he comes here and doesn't play, you burned a year on that asset for nothing.

I don't view it that way. You burned a year to sign him. If Johnson signs, he might only get a game. Same thing with him.

In truth, you really don't burn a year. He'd get a 2 year ELC next year, so this year is kind of a freebie.

Sure you made sure you got him signed, but instead of bending to him and if you don't intend on playing him then he should have signed a ATO and then signed his ELC. Still losing a year you didn't have to.

And Johnson is a different story, you don't have another year with him.

So many topics getting melded into one here. This really started over playing him Monday, in a game that still matters, with no practices. I don't think you do that.

I'm not saying don't play him at all, just likely going to wait a week.

Burning a year isn't that big of a deal. It's an ELC year, not a year towards UFA. Year 3 might cost a little more, if he's established in the NHL. I can't get mad at that.

I still think the plan is to play levi vs. His childhood team.

The paperwork delay and playoff hunt aside.

Now comrie probably earned the next start? Playing the got hand.

Ultimately this season is about seeing what the future holds.

I agree and understand, I just thought people were saying that he wasn't gonna play at all. To me if that happened it was a waste cause he can't even play in Rochester than. I have no problem with them doing what they did if he plays a few games, if he doesn't it was stupid IMO

Assuming levi gets paid more in buffalo, that's gotta be a no brainer for a 21 year old.

He's gonna get games. Our goaltending is terrible still.

Coach probably torn between home town vibe dreams and slim playoff chances.

Good thing extended donnie, we're gonna see the kid soon IMO

If they win 8 straight, maybe it becomes an issue.

Monday is another must win and any of the 4 could end up in net. Apparently they can give up 10 or toss a shut out.

Probably eliminated upl from monday after yesterday
Gotta think Anderson gets Florida next Tuesday.

Monday comrie / levi
Friday levi / comrie
Sat upl at phili
Tuesday Anderson at Florida

The shutout makes it easier or more difficult for the don?

I just don't know. Comrie has won more than either since late January, but can't view any of them as the go-to.

I'd say Anderson Monday, Comrie + UPL Fri/Sat.

That's interesting 👍

Anderson definitely starts in Florida the next Tuesday.

Gate sales at home.... levi
Montreal vibes .... levi
Realistic reality, it's over...... levi

Guy just gets a shutout, funny what did donnie do the last time a Sabres goalie had a shutout?

I'd say upl is odd man odd for a bit. Just seems like they've seen enough, I've seen enough...

You just want to see Levi. Very anti-Vibes move to the players who have been here all year, which isn't putting the kid is a very good position either.

Watching Blues-Ducks and the Ducks D makes the Sabres look like the 85 Bears, it's hilariously bad

Management is giddy about levi. Nobody is betting on the playoffs.

I'm talking wide smiles and big expectations.
High fives , low fives... vibes....

I really think comrie starts Monday. He earned it.....

Since Sabres Twitter is always on the guy's case, I'll point out that Buffalo had 75% of the shot attempts (10-1) when Jacob Bryson was on the ice at 5-on-5 against the Islanders. Tied with Stillman for best mark on the team.

I’m watching also but I’ll take Cam Fowler .

Could be. 2 weeks off for Anderson would be strange though.

Who gives you the best chance to win Monday? I have no clue.
