Rochester or back to the Cezch league imo.

Already playing against men and doing quite well, don’t think he needs to go play in the crappy QMJHL

- Pegullaville


Agreed. Beating up on kids would be no fun after playing in a professional league.

Rochester or buffalo next year for sure

It’s not our job to figure out who.

They didn’t get an established goalie. End of story.

Comrie could be good. He could also be AHL caliber

- sbroads24

Agree. Did they look into Vitek Vanecek , Georgiev, maybe Boston moves Ulmark, Talbot are /were some potential options.

lol why the heck do you want Ullmark. He doesn’t want to be here and his contract sucks.

All those options are the same Lottery tickets and not good.

Basically they are all the Same player. Goalies that are inconsistent

Goalies who are all better than what the Sabres currently employ.

You really think Mittelstadt is better?

Kessel is pretty much the model of durability. Mittelstadt... not so much.

But it's all moot; the Sabres aren't trying to win this year anyway

All the goalies mentioned, including Comrie, fit the same description of "maybe he's good idk".

Comrie cost less and was free to sign.

They are basically are trash and I’m happy we didn’t get them.

Comrie is Atleast an unknown. He could be good or he could be bad.

During his 19 game season he was good. But again. It was only 19 games. Very small sample size

Not Mittelstadt, just Asplund.

I think they're trying to win, but overestimated their whole vibes play and didn't want to take Ottawa type risks.

Im okay with that, so long as they get creative in some other way. I'd be really disappointed if there wasn't at least one move up front.

So, somebody should just trade the Sabres a good starting goalie, just because the fans think they need one.
Good to know.

The Sabres don’t have established NHL goaltending

That’s on the Sabres. It’s no one else’s fault.

The excuses are old

Odd they didn’t. To me it was a logical easy decision to go out and upgrade in goal.

Your answer may lie in the post above yours. Fire up the tank, and "once more unto the breach". You'd have to believe Adams has Bedard (or the other two) at least in the back of his mind.

The trend seems obvious, aside from the anomaly 2 seasons ago.
