I can’t wrap my head around this

We reduce our cap by $5m, free up space for an upgrade at the 1RW position, and Price at $5.5 is not so bad

why?


serious question


this team needs a tad better then average goaltending, and they are getting that right now


hutton is cheap, ullmark is fine for a back up and we got the kid developing


and an x factor in the echl

- homiedclown


Mostly because it would save money against the cap, and allow us to go after a real 1RW (Stone). Goaltending would be set.

Ah. I think I’d pass.

I think we should be looking at a middle 6 winger or 2/3 D man

Not sure if any of y'all would know the answer but.....
How has the new equipment rules effected Ullmark? Seems like the one that squeaked though his arm may be a result of it. Think that goalie has happened to a lot around the league.

I dont like what ive seen out of him but thought that may be a reason.

You don't?


He has been lights out 3 games, shaky in 1, and bad in 1. Whats not to like? Yesterday was the only sitnker and the defense was atrocious.

I would say he was very good ones 1 game we played great around him.

Id say once he "earned" another start. He throws in more stinkers than id like to see. But if thats the only part you want to respond too then cool beans.

I am just curious of what you don't like this year. Yesterday was his only bad game IMO


In his 3 wins he has a .964 save pct and a 1.00 GAA

SO 3 people who wont answer the main part of the whole post

Let me know when someone wants to answer the main part of the post, until then please return to liking skewed stats on a goalie whos been awful vs teams that are good.

In keeping with the trend of not answering your actual question.... Arizona is 7-6-1 and a +9 in goal differential.. that is who he shut out.

they have been shut out 3 times already. they are average at best, you take away a few big score games and their goal differential is terrible. I would say we caught them when they started poorly. They had won 5 in a row but lost last 2

they have 26 mil already for next season

need to sign mccabe
maybe pommer on the cheap


should be plenty of money to get stone, skinner and mccabe done


and that is w/o moving a scandella, bogo, berglund, dirty pod racer


or a skunk/risto if you are one of the haters


I would rather have hutton and either ullmark or pekka luukkonen then lean on price

when price goes down, look at the habs record, lottery bound

I'm just spitballing ways to get Okposo and his $6m away from this team so we can give it to a real #1RW

There are no perfect solutions

So he was definitely 100% effected by the change? I wonder if this will start the journey back for goalies who arent as tall and big.
