He sure as hell can. And was, last year. And the year before.

Ullmark was very, very good 5v5 last year. Clean up the atrocious PK, and he's a good goalie.

- Powerslave


We also played a defensive heavy system that was precicated on making his job easy at 5v5 and reducing high danger scoring opportunities.

Ullmark was part of the problem with the PK because he had to face high danger opportunities.

Now I’m hoping Ullmark will continue to improve as no goalie ever peaks at 27 but we do need to prepare in the case that he just really is a good backup goalie.

I just think there would have to be more added on our end.

Right idea though

They have been trying to move for a RD they don't believe he's worth a high contract and getting older that's what ducks fans have been saying...

Will see what happens but he would work here or Saad

Anderson seems like a realistic player target.

Supposedly chatter last deadline
Unhappy in Columbus
Contract dispute wasnt good the last time w/ Columbus
Won't cost the Sabres a ton
Sabres need some size and new faces, probably take the chance on an injured player?

- Boss34


just read an article that says the opposite, both sides want an agreement and he loves it in CBJ and his teammates...has told his player friends he wants to return.
contract dispute was bitter though last time, so if it happens again, he could become frustrated and become more likely to go

O/S target for sure...but would be in the $4+ range. I think evolving hickey has him higher..like in the $5's..could be wrong though.
would be nice if Sabres had their own 2021-3rd

I had really high (not elite) hopes for Ullmark to be a good nhl goalie. That’s dwindling away.

What gets me is his technique or lack there of when poop hits the fan. How many times was he super awkwardly out of place and an easy tap in from the other team

You can blame the defense. I get that. But the times of thinking of. He was so out of place that he couldn’t recover. He’s 6’5 ... that shouldn’t happen. Don’t play small.

(This is based on going to Sabres games with ex college goalies brothers)

Cozens has something that Casey never did in Staal. Staal is a pros pro, he'll be teaching those two a lot, as well as Eichel on how to lead. I don't think someone else coming in for next year is off the table, but the plan should be to have Staal hold down 2C until Cozens proves it is his.

If you heard that chatter. I am assuming there are no guarantees Larson or Girgs are back?

Not that I 100% want them back. But the LOG line was good

Yeah someone brought that up a few weeks ago. I don’t think we can pay Larry Girgs and okposo 14 mill for 4th line duties

Which I never thought about until someone brought it up

- Sabretooth9


Where are u getting 14mil from?
More like 10mil
Which is a lot, but that line will be majorly overpaid bc of Okposo & not whoever the other 2 are

Someone here threw out the idea of the 4th line making 14 mill combined. Go look back.

The Lockport Connection is done-zo

Selke Larry is going to AZ to be the second line center on the cheapest and most boring team in the NHL.

McDermott on news of Raiders players attending a charity gala Monday night indoors w/o wearing masks. "That news was unfortunate. What we try to do is control what we can control on our end. We have respect for Jon Gruden & the Raiders & I'm sure they're on top of it." #Bills

Some interesting doo-dads from the $1/mo site that my dad simply won't give me the money to pay for.

- The Jack Eichel trade market was fun while it lasted, which was all about 10 minutes for Bob McKenzie to finish his Twitter thread. One executive theorized that the Sabres might have listened to get a sense of what his trade value is worth but that’s it. “I don’t know how you make that deal and sell it to the fanbase,” he said.

-Erod, probably Athanasiou, maybe Virtanan will not get QOs.

-Jersey and Detroit may absorb a bad contract or three.

-Rask may be available

-OEL is probably, and I think definitely, getting traded
