Why? He is a top 50 producer in the league.

I'd give him 2 x 2.5

Ah. I think I’d pass.

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

like sprong?

I'd give him 2 x 2.5

I'd only go 1 year

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.

you brought it up, not me

I chalk it up as a road game in a hostile environment where our D brought their D game


at the end of the day, kid is 3-0-1 in 5 starts

2-0-1 on the road

has a better save % then hutton


I think he is doing all anyone should expect from a back up goalie

But the faceoffs!
- Shadman306

sabres won 54% of faceoffs again last night

crazy how when you give the kids a chance, they learn and do better

What about the culture?

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.
- hubie

I'd like to know other than last night, what stinkers did he let in? (what game what goal) As I see it last night was he's only bad game. He was a little shaky the game before... I just don't see it the same as you.

I think Hutton started off fantastic and his last couple he has let in some questionable ones...

Over all I don't see a big problem with the goaltending right now. Last night was a poop show for the defense... and Really the last goal Ullmark let in he should have stoped...

What about the culture?

It is being reported that his first career hatrick has changed the culture in the room....

Spelling was on purpose or accident?

Does anyone on the sabres draw as many penalties as mitts?

I think hes really coming into his own

but isnt he who everyone wants to be the starter? Like all stats they can appear to be better than they are.

That was a nice long replay of the Risto goal. Shows well how badly he got trapped for the 3rd straight OT, which is gross. Also shows Sam making the same stupid decision to get himself trapped and cause a 3 on 1 again. That game was a just finish away from a very bad loss. At some point they are going to have to learn to play better 3v3....instead we get to celebrate.

Columbus too. Like I said, same horrendous mistake in 3 straight OT's.

Risto admitted in his post game interview that he made and AWFUL play that resulted in the 3 on 1

Sam was moving down low to get Risto someone to pass to but Risto kept going behind the net.

He (Risto) knows he got away with one
