Geertsen was placed on waivers by the Sabres on Friday for the purpose of assignment to AHL Rochester.
Geertsen made the Sabres' Opening Night roster last year but made just five regular-season appearances at the NHL level before being sent to the AHL in November, where he remained for the remainder of the season. He'll head back to Rochester to begin the 2026-27 campaign, assuming he clears waivers.

Geertsen was placed on waivers by the Sabres on Thursday, according to Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.
Geertsen has been a healthy scratch in 13 of Buffalo's last 14 games. He has eight hits and 12 PIM over five games this season. Should he pass through waivers, Geertsen will be sent to AHL Rochester.
RotoWire via ESPN · Nov 20
Geertsen was scratched for the 15th time in 20 games in Wednesday's 6-2 loss to the Flames.
Geertsen played in four of the first six games of the year, but the 30-year-old hasn't carved out a regular role even amid a tough stretch of injuries for the Sabres. Even when he plays, he's averaged just 4:07 of ice time over five appearances while adding eight hits and 12 PIM. He's failed to record a point in 30 NHL outings, and the defenseman-turned-winger is unlikely to ever produce offense at the level necessary to help in fantasy.

Geertsen inked a two-year, two-way contract with Buffalo on Tuesday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
Geertsen hasn't played in the NHL since the 2021-22 campaign when he logged 25 games for the Devils. In those appearances, the 30-year-old defenseman averaged a paltry 6:57 of ice time, understandably failing to register a point along the way. It's unlikely to get any better in Buffalo, as fantasy players should anticipate the Alberta native playing the majority of his games for AHL Rochester this year.

Geertsen was waived Saturday for the purpose of assigning him to AHL Henderson.
Geertsen recorded six goals and 108 PIM in 58 regular-season outings with AHL Henderson in 2023-24. He will likely spend most, if not all, of the upcoming campaign in the minors.

Geertsen signed a two-year, two-way deal with the Golden Knights on Saturday, per PuckPedia.
Geertsen hasn't played in the NHL since 2021, when he was held scoreless while racking up 58 hits in 25 games with the Devils. The 28-year-old defenseman will likely spend most of his time in the AHL, serving as organizational depth for Vegas.
