Sabres don’t need Jarry, Acciari wouldn’t be a bad idea.

That Ned contract is Brutal. There is no way.

Ned walks in FA, Bloom backs up Jarry next year is the most likely situation. When he out plays him, Jarry will be moved out like MAF was.
With the backup for the next year in wbs.

As for the FL trade, anything to get POJ off this team. He sucks. He belongs in the AHL.

UPL has been a lot better, but I was just curious if maybe the Sabres would want to give Levi some time in the AHL. Samuelsson is making a lot, and feel like he has underperformed his contract so far. I also think that the Byram acquisition has made him a little expandable, so cap wise it made sense, but I could see BUF rolling with UPL/Levi.

I was going for a Husso comparable. Has a decent season and gets rewarded with a 3-year deal. Ned has been starting ahead of Jarry, so I wouldnt be totally shocked to see this be the route, but I definitely could just see us keeping Jarry.

POJ is so hit or miss, but I just dont see him having a long career here.

I think they will have UPL as a starter then sign a guy like Martin Jones or Chris Driedger both upgrades over Comrie while having Levi play in the AHL, but get called up for starts. Sabres value Samuelsson too much to trade him it makes a ton of sense to move him, but they won’t do it.

I can't see them extending Ned a contract. They have 2 goalies in the system. One will move up next year. There is nothing for him to prove in wbs. And one will come over from Russia to the wbs most likely.
He too looks NHL quality. So the log jam is coming and I'm pretty sure Jarry will be the odd one out when it does that year or the next.
So I don't see how they got room for Ned. If they are going to play one next year it's Jarry over Ned. Because if they sign Ned, and he slips, he's unmovable.
Jarry will still be moveable as people will assume bad team and give him a go.
But for Ned it's not 3 different teams.... that's hard to move on a high contract with term on a goalie.

As for POJ he's awful. They keep trying to hide him playing him up the line up because he can't play in his own end. He's like Justin Schultz without the offense.
So they pair him with Letang to hide him. It just saddles the whole line. But they have nothing better in the system. So we get stuck with Ludvig who is even worse.
They need a real 3rd pairing and POJ has to go for that to happen otherwise we'll be stuck with him again and the same crap play.

UPL's emergence makes Jarry kinda redundant in Buffalo. They're willing to work something out on Ol' Noel however!

Jarry has 4 or 5 years left. At big money
