I have no problem with him signing and playing this year. But leaning on him and Upl next year? That could be concerning… boom or bust right there…

Could we do….

Levi
UPL
Anderson as a 3rd/mentor/coach

If the NHL implements an official taxi squad it could be the best place to stash a mentor / coach tendy….

- Gr8daygo


NHL rosters should probably have 3 goalies just to avoid the Zamboni driver stuff, so agreed if that were the case.

Barring that, I don't see how you can bring Andy back at his age. They need a goalie who has a realistic shot at playing 50 games and at 41 next year, it's hard to see that happening. I think they need to move on.

I'd let Levi/UPL battle for the other spot

Johnson is still playing, if they lose today then they can sign him. They play at 3 I believe.

Sabres are gonna have a nice flow of prospects coming up through the system over the next 3 to 4yrs. Having Appert in Rochester and Donnie leading the charge up top, think we are in very good hands developmental wise.

ATW keeps bringing up the defensive coach, i didn't catch his name but they kept saying how little praise he gets. Is this his first season with the team, anyone know anything about him?

Edit:

Donnie was his first pro coach which helped him chooooose Buffalo over 12 other teams:

"“The one thing that drew me to it is you look at this roster and look at all the young defencemen,” he said. “I like where you can be in one place and go and develop with them.”"

Marty Wilford has definitely done a good job. Won a lot of games as a ECHL HC

March 27th and I wake up to an inch of snow on the ground.

These are the days I curse my ancestors for coming here basically penniless from Italy, and then stopping in Buffalo, NY. I mean, what the (frank), you dumb wops. You couldn't have turned left and went another 500 miles? No wonder Italy's been a poop hole ever since it's been called Italy.

Imagine the offseason hope of having a young phenom starting next season instead of upl/ Anderson.

Levi gets 10 out of the final 17 games

Can he play the right side long term?

Is he the right type of partner needed for Power?

What is the cost to get him?

He is the right age, but the rumored package for him is too rich for my blood. They're asking for a return better than what the Sabres were asking for Eichel.
