People talking like they're insiders here, when nobody is, always entertains me.

I hear very few things. Last time I knew something was about RJ and Levi signing.

But I mean here today it came from the horse's mouth

>>> Happy Halloween! 👻

Yes. Yes I do. I stand by it, and if I'm wrong, I don't give a poop, because this is a message board.

He's not going to Rochester outside of a conditioning stint.

IDk man, I think that 100% hinges on UPL/Comrie playing well or not

I won't be convinced otherwise. I don't believe we live in a universe where Comrie and UPL are both franchise goalies that allow Levi to just (frank) off to Rochester.

They know he's the future, they want him playing and practicing against NHL talent, and I can almost guarantee they'd rather play musical waivers than actually send him down.

This is an opinion, not insider information.

besides, Quinnfan told me upl STINKS

last time comrie came back from a long term LBI, he stunk. I really hope he can pick up his play.

I wouldn't expect him there long term, but if he looks shaky after the injury and Comrie is healthy I could totally see them sending him down for a little bit.

Especially if UPL/Comrie are winning some games

there's definitely an argument for it, i won't deny it. but they have to both reach a certain level that allows them to make that move, allows them to justify that move to him. UPL there's just no way on god's green earth that he has that in him.

all the posturing from the time they signed him, not making him play in the prospect challenge, he didn't even sniff rochester. I'd be stunned in all honesty.

They recalled Biro? That’s odd.

That is true about the Sabres being out skated. But I guess my point is.

The Sabres want playoffs. Kulich has done enough in the AHL to take bensons spot. Kulich is way more polished and physically ready. He could step in and help instead of being a developmental liability.

If this was last years team …. I would say let Benson and savoie go at it and give them playing time

And by no means do I think Benson is bad. He’s just young. Needs to add some muscle and speed and good to go
- Sabretooth9

Good post tooth

Keep experience over an 18 year old, even if kulich is just a bit older.

He deserves a shot

Betting that they'll give Savoie his chance at NHL time this season before making a decision on him, as Savoie didn't get that chance during training camp, due to his injury.
- kingcong39

He's playing well in Rochester, that line is fast and skilled. Rosen has really upped the anty. His 200ft game has improved immensely. I would hope they give Savoie a look. The next week should get interesting with decisions.

- SoCalPucks

Fits the bottom 6 role nicely. I would actually play him over Okposo but they won’t do that to the captain

After that game, him getting injured during it and then the play of Comrie and UPL. Im not to high on playing him here this year at all anymore. He was bad.
- DirtyDan

Wasn't he right at his xGA number every game?

the sample is so tiny that one bad goal can throw off the entire rating for the worse.

Comrie is the best so far. If UPL played an extra 5 minutes in Ottawa instead of heading home he'd probably be in the lead.

Benson out weeks cause he has ouchy.

Side note, got to watch the Laval game.

Savoie, Kulich and Rosen are a head above the competition. The amount of chances they produced was wild. Hemmed them in twice for over 2 1/2 minutes. Exciting development.

Time to Play The Game! Now Savoie will get his games in.

OOC, where are you on the whole, Levi to Rochester thing. Do you prefer that, him playing most games on the farm, or sticking with 3?

They are definitely Vibing

It better be biro over olo

Benson is “week to week” with an injury. So that buys Savoie some time to figure out what to do with him

Random question: Bensons rookie deal still doesn’t kick in until his 10th game?

So him behind here week to week won’t matter?

fascinating. wonder if they throw him on IR too.

me personally I'd like him here unless they're benching him for 3 weeks a month.

- Buff36

Agreed...and might be wishful thinking but...

I hope Savoie gets the exception.
