Confirmed with Link: Sabres sign Eric Comrie 2yrs 1.8mil AAV, waived 12/31, Recalled 1/20

I've mentioned that I would prefer him to be in the AHL to start so he can work on his rebound control. I'm relaying what the commentary was. That's not an endorsement.

This is my take as well. Carey Price played in the AHL, there’s no shame in playing there even if 20-30 games.

We need to make a move for a goalie that is unequivocally better than Levi. He should not feel pressured to be the guy.

Sounds like Levi wants to be the guy and loves the pressure

what a player wants and what he needs to have a long successful career usually aren’t the same

Just don't think "pressured to be the guy" is going to sink his career

I can think of a few. The Minnesota game (he allowed 5, but we were outplayed as bad as we were in the 10-4 Dallas loss), the Miller game, his last start where nobody wanted him to start and he goalied the other team for starters.

Often when UPL stole the game, he allowed 3 or 4, but he should have allowed 7 or 8 due to how horrific the D was

Again this comes back to "how much do you trust the numbers", but ironically the game you reference had the 8th fewest scoring chances allowed all our games this season

Watching the highlights they definitely blew some plays resulting in goals against that weren't UPL's fault but idk about the overall workload

Jeff Marek stated that Buffalo was the only team who offered Comrie two years on his contract last summer.

 

[Rasmus CacOlainen]

We have the capspace to burry him in year 2, what does it matter?

I don’t even know why we did tbh. Every other team had their goalies picked already. We were bidding against no one and still lost.

Sucks, Comrie had 10 good NHL games by the age of 27.

In what way?

Not true. The point of Marek's comment was that other team's offers were for one year.

Nice to see a decisive move made three months late.

There is a chance Comrie is claimed, even at his salary. Plenty of teams looking to make a change in net currently.

Levi can go down for free.

I get it, Levi has looked better, but he hasn't exactly looked good either.

Let Levi get the AHL minutes and hope Comrie can play his way out of his funk. Then you can retain salary and flip him for a mid round pick at the deadline.

Adams love for 'letting the kids play' is leading to terrible asset manage, front office decisions, and now his 4th straight punt season.

I think that Comrie has been shopped. I don’t think the return was positive. He is worth more in Rochester instead of adding a sweetener. If he gets claimed then fine.

 

[old kummelweck]

I don't see him getting claimed.

 

[sabresfan129103]

Feel bad for him because he genuinely seems like a nice guy. Hopefully he can tear it up in the AHL and be back in the big leagues some day.

Comrie never plays and hasn’t hit .890 in his last six appearances.

Any anger about Levi being up doesn’t involve Comrie going down. It involves the goalie move Adams never made not being here. Because Comrie can’t be here. Either way.

Shit I wish someone would claim him. They might accidentally fall into a decent goalie somehow if they take their dozenth weak shot at one

 

[KeyserSoze81]

I hope he gets picked up. He needs a chance to redeem his career - signing as a goalie in Buffalo is Sabre Seppuku.

 

[Sabresfansince1980]

He won't get claimed, because he stinks and shouldn't have been signed by KA to begin with.

 

[slip]

I think the injuries and sporadic starts have taken their toll on Comrie. He’s a better goalie than his recent stats indicate. Wish him the best and hope he gets another chance to prove his mettle as an NHL goalie.

Comrie stinks. Simple as that.

Comrie stinks. Simple as that.

Hopefully somebody is stupid enough to claim him just so he doesn't muck up the Amerks. Terrible goalie, terrible signing
