Jost and Benson were in today, VO out.

You might have it right. They have another week on Savoie and no real need for a 23rd player right now, so they may just wait. Just don't play VO.

Benson might have played himself out of the lineup with the 2 foolish penalties today

My guy upl looked pretty good in net

Benson was good today. One week from a decision on him + Savoie. No clue what they'll do.

Never thought of UPL as your guy, interesting development. Schedule ramps up a bit now and they probably learned their lesson overplaying goalies, so we'll probably see plenty of him in November.

I didn't see the 2nd penalty, but the 1st penalty was very marginal. Refs sucked per usual and a lot more egregious stuff was let go than that penalty.

UPL did a great job staying square today. Sabres did a great job allowing no breakaways and i can't remember any odd man rushes. Two things that UPL has trouble with due to his lack of quickness

I really like benson as well, he’s getting a good chance with good line mates

Seems very Sabrey to keep him around as long as possible and then send him to the juniors

Just an opinion

They need to just adopt those black jerseys as their main jersey again.

What’s their record wearing those?

- IndianaSabresFan

Switch to the black and red. Make the blue jerseys the 3rd jersey to appease the blue collar fan base.


Profit.

They have another week...?

>>> We’ll get into the discussion in more depth on the pod tonight but decision week for the Sabres with Benson and Savoie.

If Benson plays the next 3 games he hits game 9 on Saturday.

If Savoie plays the next two games in the AHL that makes 5 games & ends his conditioning stint.

>>> With Comrie going IR and Cooley returned to the AHL today the Sabres do have an open roster spot.

Benson, Savoie, Kulich, Rosen, Rousek. I don't know what's Sabrey. Hope it's not just playing Jost/VO. All of them have earned a shot. KA loves to tell us he won't block guys. Time to find out.

Still don't see what's Sabrey about 9 games. KA's never done it.

How the phenom has fallen. Big sad.

Taco loves to guarantee they won't block guys as well, and that they'll always make room, only to backpeddle when they don't make room, and claim it's due to players not being ready.

Nice win by upl today, you should be happy

So it might be Saturday instead of Sunday? Let's not split those hairs. We don't know which games they'll play.

There's 2 different types of conditioing loans. He might know which they used. I'm just assuming it's the simple 14 day version because I don't think he qualifies for the LTIR version.

It's not that simple. Savoie is not eligible for 13.9, so we should only be looking at 13.8.

13.8
Conditioning Loan.

Unless a Player consents, he shall not be Loaned on a Conditioning Loan to a minor league club. Such Conditioning Loan shall not extend for more than fourteen (14) consecutive days. The Commissioner may take whatever steps he deems necessary to investigate the circumstances under which a Player is Loaned on a Conditioning Loan. If the Commissioner has reason to believe or determines that the Club has used the Conditioning Loan to evade Waivers, or otherwise Circumvent any provision of this Agreement, he may take such disciplinary action against the Club, as he deems appropriate. The Player shall continue, during the period of such Conditioning Loan, to receive the same Paragraph 1 NHL Salary, and be entitled to the same benefits, that he would have received had he continued to play with the Club

13.9
Bona Fide Long-Term Injury/Illness Exception Conditioning Loan.

A Player who is on the Bona Fide Long-Term Injury/Illness Exception as set forth in Article 50 may, with his consent, during the term of such Bona Fide Long-Term Injury/Illness Exception (but in no event during the first fourteen (14) calendar days and six (6) NHL Games), be Loaned on a Conditioning Loan (the "Bona Fide Long Term Injury/Illness Exception Conditioning Loan") for a period not to exceed up to the longer of six (6) days and three (3) games, solely for the purpose of determining whether the Player is fit to play. If the Club determines that it needs more time to assess the Player's fitness to play, the Club may file a written request with the Commissioner's Office, with a copy to the NHLPA, in accordance with Exhibit 3 hereof, to extend the Loan for an additional two (2) games. The Commissioner, upon good cause, may approve the one-time extension. The Commissioner's approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. A Player on a bona Fide Long-Term Injury/Illness Exception Conditioning Loan will continue to be listed on injured Reserve and will not count against the Club's 23-man roster limit. The Club's Bona Fide Long Term Injury/Illness Exception will continue until the Conditioning Loan ends, and his Paragraph 1 NHL Salary and Bonuses will continue to count against the Club's Upper Limit and the Players' Share during such time. The Commissioner may take whatever steps he deems necessary to investigate the circumstances under which a Player is placed on a Bona Fide Long- Term Injury/Illness Conditioning Loan. If he has reason to believe or determines that the Club has used the Bona Fide Long-Term Injury/Illness Conditioning Loan to evade Waivers or otherwise to Circumvent any provision of this Agreement, he may take other disciplinary action against the Club as he deems appropriate. A Bona Fide Long-Term Injury/Illness Conditioning Loan may be extended on one occasion. This procedure can only be used once during each period of time that the Player is on a Bona Fide Long-Term Injury Exception.

Rochester next three games are Wednesday, Friday and Saturday.

Sabres have the same schedule (Wed. @ Flyers, Fri. vs. Flyers, Sat. @ Leafs).

They could always skip the Friday game, but would adding one more day really matter?

Maybe he plays Wed. and Fri. with Rochester, then joins the Sabres for the Leafs game on Saturday?

The exact deadline isn't that important. KA knows what it is. Maybe he'll take every minute of it, maybe he won't. Shelving a goalie made it much easier on him.

With a Sabres home game on Friday and at Toronto on Saturday, maybe Savoie only gets one more Rochester game on Wednesday before joining the Sabres on Thursday for practice?

Olofsson and Jost both sit if Benson and Savoie both play?
