Anyone on waivers yet?

Would have been reported earlier this afternoon.

Perhaps by noon tomorrow, but nothing yet

I wonder if there's a chance Biro beats out Jost. Money says no but performance says maybe?

For me, he's already ahead of Rousek.

Tough to say with Jost, who has been getting the veteran preferential treatment so far this preseason.

If it were a real competition, don't you play Jost a little more?

Fine line here between Biro looking better than Jost and giving Biro an NHL spot over someone who is a proven NHLer based on like 3 games, right?

I get wanting it to be an open competition/meritocracy but if that were the case strictly based on pre season showing theyd be sending Power to the ECHL lol

Proven NHLer but claimed off waivers tbf. It wouldn't be crazy for him to be on waivers again

It absolutely would be crazy because he was a positive WAR player in his time as a Sabre.

Edit: He had a higher GAR/60 than freaking Tage lol

If Jost were on a PTO, there might be a decision. This was never a competition.

Those include his time in MIN though. I agree it's not like he's some core player, but he was a legit nhler who added wins to the team last year when they were scrambling for a C

You don't put that guy on waivers because Brandon Biro had a good 10 mins vs pre season rosters, that's all im saying.

Moot point, players who have the sample Jost had in his time with the Sabres don't normally get PTO'd

I wanted to say giving a 2m contract was the decision that he's part of the team....then I looked up Vinny's contract: 1.7m. KA is a strange GM with an unhealthy attachment to keeping guys around.

Still don't think Jost is under any threat.

Most GMs favour continuity where fans want change for the sake of change.

Most GM's don't carry over that continuity from the last regime though. It's strange.

Most GMs face much higher expectations. I misread the fan base, most are overall pretty happy with where things are at.

Did not anticipate the bar being this low
