Claimed off Waivers: [BUF] Sabres claim F Tyson Jost off waivers from the Wild

[sennysensen]

I'd take him on the Sens to replace Josh Norris. I see people saying that Jost isn't much of a player, and I get that, but he couldn't possibly be worse than Derick Brassard.

Oh, but he definitely could.....

[Fjordy]

WOW

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Really, BUF? That is like the last team I figured, they have young forwards galore.

 

[BKarchitect]

Wow well I’ll have to eat crow on nobody touching him with a 10’ pole.

Hopefully Jost can carve out a niche role but don’t expect much Sabres fans.

 

[Mrfenn92]

Surprised but good for jost

 

[PAZ]

Probably to replace Sheahan as #4C?

 

[Ace]

What an odd claim for Buffalo. They already have a problem getting everyone into games at forward. Needed defense desperately due to injury and roster construction…but let Reilly just go by last time.

The thing is Sheahan is only playing because Girgensons and Okposo are out. Neither is long term.

I don’t know who he’s replacing. Unless they’re gearing up to finally trade forwards for defense.

But...why?

I guess they could be using him as an injury replacement for now, while planning to waive him again if/when Buffalo's forwards get healthy.

 

[Breakers]

Mittelstadt and Jost joining forces.
The two prospects/players that had zero business leaving the NCAA but were rushed.

Makes sense plus cap space to burn so taking a shot W Jost

Or they can trade another replacement level forward for a replacement level D without draining out the Amerks ? Or they are tanking again ha ha

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

Not surprised he was claimed... Hopefully he can figure things out in Buffalo or else he will be packing his bags again soon

Agree worth a shot for nothing - gives us some more cushion over the floor ha ha

Yeah I guess.

Maybe they think they can mold him into a 4th line replacement for those guys on expiring deals after this year. I just know I’m going to get real angry when the sitting rotation starts and better, younger, guys are being sat.

Thank you Buffalo!

Yeah casey is a nice player now though

 

[Poppy Whoa Sonnet]

Weird claim, seems like they have their own Jost in Krebs.

 

[Arthur Morgan]

Why? What do you think Jost is bringing to the table to be worth his salary?

told ya

 

[Chainshot]

Really, BUF? That is like the last team I figured, they have young forwards galore.

They have a depth issue at the AHL level that likely needs Sheahan back from the big club - their top 2 centers on Rochester are both hurt and judging by how the one went down last night, I don't know if he's going to be able to play for a long, long time. So they get to try on a replacement, depth guy and if it doesn't work, they waive him down to Rochester at which point Minny puts him in Iowa if they haven't already used up the cap space.

 

[GirardSpinorama]

Good for him! Hope he turns it around in buffalo

 

[Cirris]

Sabres picking up Jost and taking a shot on a stuggling younger forward gives them the option of sending a kid or two back down to Roch for more seasoning. I know Quinn has been really up and down right now.

 

[GirardSpinorama]

They have cap. There's no way teams without any cap would take on this risk.
