Confirmed with Link: Aaron Dell on waivers

[SundherDome]

No one is claiming Dell, he's absolute trash. I'll set the bar a little lower, Hopefully he's played his last game as a Sabre. That'd be just fine by me. We've had a several bad goaltenders come through here post-Miller and this guy is legitimately in the running for the worst of that bunch.

I can't think of anyone worse

 

[SundherDome]

Wonder if suspension played into this at all.

100%

ECHL ??

ECHL ??

Seems like he'll go to the Amerks and then off into obscurity.

 

[Uberpecker]

Can anybody claim the guy now?
Looking for a fridge-tender for someone who needs to lose weight. Job would require hitting everyone who tries to open the fridge door after 6 pm.
Asking for a friend.

 

[cashinstinct]

Montréal could claim him, they need bodies to keep losing

Price and Allen are injured

Montembeault Is injured too, but still plays
Primeau needs to go the AHL full time

McNiven is on taxi squad and the team does not want to play him , and he is a little injured too

Bad rebound control.....or maybe we should have been firing guys into Dell instead of the sun for all these years?

Worst rebound control I may have ever seen from a goalie playingnonthe Sabres. Really makes it difficult on the defense. This team already has enough issues playing sound defensive hockey. A goalie that sucks with their rebound control is NOT welcome!!!

Does this mean Anderson is back? The tweets wont load for me on hfboards for some reason. I never thought Id be so relieved that Craig f***ing Anderson at the age of 40 some odd years old would give me a sense of relief that he'll be starting between the pipes. These last few years sure have been weird.

You guys don't think that deep red color is all because of rebounds right? Dell is bad and has bad rebound control, but the defense in front of him was historically bad letting historic numbers of shots from the slot be taken.

Rochester can use the help.

Help??

probably the straw that broke the camels back, yeah, but he has been literally one of the worst goalies in the league this year as well

 

[Dex]

Help??

FWIW, Dell is 5-0 this year in Rochester with 2.76 GAA and 0.910 SV%.

I'm hoping that Anderson and Tokarski stay healthy and that UPL gets healthy so that Dell can finish his time in the organization in Rochester and never need to play in Buffalo again.

I mean we've run out of bad luck, right?

Consider that Dell isn't available to play a game for the Sabres until February 10th, it makes sense to get him to Rochester sooner than later.

Perfect time to have him clear waivers, too. GMs probably don't want the trouble, and anyone fishing for a Dell type goalie needs something NOW, not later. I don't think the Sabres are done with him

 

[Panthaz89]

I didn't realize the red could get that deep

That's what happens when you give up 50 rebounds and your team doesn't trust you.

I doubt he sees time in Buffalo again, but Apps has talked about Dell's presence in Rochester as being a good one trying to help the kids learn how goalies deal with shooting tendencies.

You would hope they turned a corner with their goal tending depth and injuries/covid protocol. Not sure teams would be interested in any of the sabres depth around the deadline, but that another factor that could be unpredictable.

You probably just cursed us!

Fare thee well Tank Commander. Fare thee well.

Shrugs. Who cares. Seeya

Dell 1st star tonight for Rochester.

35 saves on 36 shots. His best game so far.
6-0 for season.

He's going to earn himself an AHL contract next season if he keeps this up.

That's a perfect place for him

Rochester American's color analyst Ric Seiling had a crazy take on the Dell suspension.

He felt that Dell didn't push him hard enough for him to fall like that. He thought that Batherson was trying to embellish the hit and got himself into trouble.

 

[sufferer]

I'd like his name expunged from Sabres history, please.
