Sabres Place Alexandar Georgiev on Unconditional Waivers for Contract Termination

The move follows a slide down Buffalo’s depth chart that left him limited to brief AHL action.

Overview

  • Buffalo’s AHL affiliate announced Georgiev was placed on unconditional waivers to end his one-year deal.
  • It is widely reported he is expected to sign with KHL club Spartak if he clears waivers and the termination is finalized.
  • The Sabres signed the 29-year-old to a one-year, $825,000 contract during training camp for injury cover.
  • He appeared in two games for Rochester, going 0-2-0 with seven goals allowed on 67 shots for an .896 save percentage.
  • Eighteen months after starting in the 2024 playoffs for Colorado, he struggled through subsequent moves, finished low on Buffalo’s depth chart behind Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen, Devon Levi, Alex Lyon and waiver claim Colten Ellis, and owns a 151-108-26 NHL record with a .903 save percentage across 288 starts.
