I like this waiver pick up. He is a good prospect with potential and a handful of years of pro experience (ECHL and AHL). They couldn’t enter the season with Georgiev as their only other option to Lyon. Georgiev looked bad in the preseason, and the last # of seasons too for that matter.

 

I’d definitely rather see them take a chance on someone like Ellis who has a chance to be a good, long term solution vs. Georgiev who has already shown that he’s not.

 

I wonder if they keep Lyon, Georgiev and Ellis on the NHL roster, or if Georgiev gets released? 

 

 

I don’t know if he’s fallen out of favor. I think Kevyn still loves him. But I do think they have at least stopped treating him as the anointed one (lol) and realized he needs to be properly developed, not forced into the NHL. And that legit competition for him is a good thing.

 

I suspect Lindy has a lot to do with the new approach.

 

 

Goergiev hit waivers today.

I'm going to be back in WNY soon. Sabres tickets still dirt cheap?

I just looked and you can get $12.50 tickets for the 10/15 game.  Im sure they will get even lower next week

I am pleasantly surprised. I thought they might try to carry 3 goalies for a while. But I’m glad they’re giving Ellis a legit shot.

I had someone tell me that beer costs $18 for a 24 oz Blue light. Is that true?

Eichel gets the bag from Vegas.

For him to get paid Avg more than McDavid is a joke

Pretty sure a standard domestic beer was $12 last season, so $18 for a 24oz isn't too bad of a deal.
