Paul Hamilton on the Sabres potentially keeping three goalies on the roster

Paul Hamilton with Jeremy and Joe discussing how the Sabres seem to be headed for another season carrying three goalies.

Transcript

00:00So, Paul, if Lukanen is okay and plays and looks good

00:04and no setbacks between now and next week,

00:07are they rolling into the season with three goalies?

00:11I mean, Kevin Adams has said in the past he doesn't like three goalies.

00:14I think I've heard Lindy say the same thing.

00:17But what else would they do other than carry all three?

00:21Yeah, exactly.

00:23It's crazy.

00:24I don't know why they set themselves up for this.

00:26I don't know why you don't just sign a goalie to a PTO

00:32instead of signing him regularly and then running into this problem.

00:38I don't envision – I'm not saying it won't happen,

00:42but I don't envision anybody going to Rochester to back up Devin Levi.

00:48I don't see that happening.

00:49I mean, Levi's the guy.

00:52They're not going to send one of the veteran goalies down there

00:55and let him play over Levi.

00:57That wouldn't make any sense.

00:58Well, would Georgiev even do it?

01:00Like, if they tried to do that, I'd wonder if he would just bolt for Europe.

01:04He's got his contract.

01:05He can't bolt for anywhere.

01:06He couldn't just go to, like, the KHL if he wanted to?

01:09No, he's got a contract.

01:10He just can't bolt.

01:12He would have to – the Sabres would have to let him out of his contract.

01:15It would be a mutual – he would have to go on waivers

01:19and then they would have to terminate the contract.

01:21But, no, he can't just get up and leave.
