If we claim him we would have to keep him on the roster correct?

If the Blues are the only team to claim him, they can send him down without waivers. Of another team puts a claim in, I believe the Blues would have to either keep him on the NHL (or he’d be subject to waivers if they send him down).

Don't think we'd have to worry about Hofer being a franchise goalie, but it'd multiply the hate-watchers posts in here every time he played probably. would go from half of the front page of threads to 70-75% of them.

Why did no one want Hofer traded after the Calgary game?

I think there’s a good chance we can get Ellis back. Lyon has won his last 2 games and shutout the Panthers on Saturday. I’d expect him to get the start today against the Habs too.

Luukkonen rejoined the Sabres in practice 6 days ago but I don’t see anything on a timeline on when he’s expected to return. He got hurt the very first preseason game so all he’s played so far this season is 20 minutes of that first preseason game and that’s it. Wouldn’t be surprised if they send him to the AHL a bit to get some rehab starts so may still be a while before they have to make a decision of Ellis.

I hope the Blues get him back, but won't we have to go thru this whole song and dance next year too? I was hoping the Blues could get to the next contracts of Binner and Hofer and they could decide what to do with the org based off of our results. But that wouldn't be until next season. If our team looks like it isn't ascending to a cup team, we ask Binner what he wants to do. If we look like we are challenging for a cup, then you deal one of the other 2, but if Ellis goes thru waivers and gets back with the Blues, that will signal that his stock isn't that high until he gets NHL time. So you would probably have to trade Hofer to get some immediate value.

If the Blues get him back, I would hope that after a year his stock my rise some and maybe the Blues could get a pick or something. It's a stretch because goalies, especially prospects, don't usually bring back much of a return.
