Sabres Waive Geertsen as Health Improves
21 Nov, 2025
Summary
- Mason Geertsen was placed on waivers by the Buffalo Sabres.
- Player returns necessitate roster adjustments for the Sabres.
- Goalie situation requires further evaluation as players return.
As the Buffalo Sabres regain healthier personnel, they have initiated roster adjustments, starting with waiving forward Mason Geertsen. Geertsen, signed as an enforcer, had minimal ice time and his absence is expected to facilitate the return of key players like Jason Zucker.
The team faces a growing roster crunch, especially with multiple goalies and emerging forwards. Decisions must be made regarding the goaltending trio and young offensive players like Noah Östlund and Isak Rosen, whose roles and development pathways are being assessed.
Future roster implications involve managing player contracts and performance, particularly for goalies like Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen. The Sabres are aiming to balance current needs with long-term development, potentially creating competition for established players upon full health.
