They have another option that you are ignoring, and acting like it's something they're not considering, which you have no idea about.
- kingcong39

what option is that?

what other option allows the buffalo sabres to keep matt savoie in rochester for the entire year

why are you upset today that I made a mistake about the current active roster.

here ill be contextually correct.

the intended, active roster with quinn and comrie included is 24/23.

i am so very sorry i forgot.
- TheSabresTaco

Intended active roster is a good one! 😆😅

Neither player on the 'intended active roster' will be available for weeks.

The current Sabres management loves taking their time on making decisions.

With the injury to Comrie, they can now do the same with Savoie.

i didn't think you'd make such a great comp to UPL's game on Sunday.
- TheSabresTaco

This is only a prelude to the accolades to come!

- TheSabresTaco

Again, the other option is calling him up to the Sabres.

They have an open roster spot until one of Comrie or Quinn is ready to play.

If/When they send Benson back, they'll have an open roster spot until both Comrie and Quinn are ready to play.

They owned Levi... We should have won that game
- DirtyDan

I don't agree. Levi let one or two in that he shouldn't, but we got caved bad in that game.

Pat Kane and Jack Quinn are the guys who will be here imo.

Benson back, Olofsson eventually out.

I think they want that Rochester group to marinate one more year (I don't really agree with it but whatever)
- sbroads24

Kane is currently in Buffalo. So that is entirely possible

Problem with that idea is that Kane and Quinn are coming off major injuries. Quinn I think should be sent down to roch for conditioning stint. Gotta see where his game is at.

yes, cong, they can do that, and keep him here, and sign kane, and get quinn back, and send olofsson to the sun.

but, thats not what kevyn adams discussed. he may very well get his 9, and maybe he's even better than benson.

but they want the option to get him to rochester.

so yes, im keenly aware of what they can do at the nhl level. but thats not what adams discussed.

You watched that game and thought Buffalo outplayed Calgary?

Sure looked like they played like poop, and the score indicated the game was closer then it really was.

The numbers back that up.

I'm sure Adams, like every quality GM, tells all of managements plans to the public.

Not one of those guys (in roch rn) showed the Sabres they were ready to start here.

They'll almost assuredly get games. But we're looking at 24-25 for maybe a pretty hot 4 way between benson savoie kulich and rosen.
- TheSabresTaco

Kulich didnt even look semi-ready. He was a no show.

- kingcong39

what tactical disadvantage is he receiving when he tells the public that we're working with the CHL to allow Matt to stay with Rochester.

- DirtyDan

Yes. We all saw it with our own eyes, and so did they, which is why Benson is here and no one else is. (frank) it's why Olofsson is still here.

No one forced their hand to trade him out.

I want those guys to break through just like everyone else here. I don't see anything wrong with a patient approach that allows them to dominate offensively and round out their defensive/two way games down there. Appert's team are excellent developers.

I don't agree. Levi let one or two in that he shouldn't, but we got caved bad in that game.
- TheSabresTaco

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.

Adams sharing that the team is working on opening up an additional option re: handling Savoie is an effort to gain a tactical advantage?

It's Adams sharing the only option they are considering?

He said it's that or back to Junior...?

he'll work his way out of it.

Look man. They want him here. He made it abundantly clear. I don't know what else to tell you. If he gets clearance from the CHL, he can be sent back and forth freely. Which is what they want. And they made it known.

Think Biro sure tried, but oh well

he'll work his way out of it.
- TheSabresTaco

Still adamant that there will be no Rochester time for Levi?

You assured everyone of that a few days ago.

By the way, they recalled Biro.

Which is how the preseason played out.

The roster is back to 23/23, you just didn't have patience cong.

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.

Think Biro sure tried, but oh well
- Buff36

he's back baby. you're right, he came the closest. probably here if there's two goalies to start the season. maybe between him and stillman i guess.

By the way, they recalled Biro.

Should have been there since the start, about time

Love that for Biro. He deserves it.

Let's see how long it lasts before you spike the ball after a TD.

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.
