If this was the team they're going with next year (I still think moves will be made), I'd have little interest in watching it, but I'd force myself as I want to see what Staal does in a Sabres sweater.

I'd watch the 7 to 9 minute extended highlight package the NHL posts to YouTube later that night or the next day and that's it.

not bad, flames got better. still think their forwards are way to soft/passengers to do anything in the playoffs.

They got better with the Tanev signing?

Kuemper back in play to Buffalo says EK?

Like when Jordan passed it to Kerr or Paxson for big finals shots?
- kingcong39

Can't remember the last time in a big game situation where LeBron has decided to be the man with the game in his hands for the last shot he always seems to pass it off (granted I don't watch much basketball with all the divas)

But from sport shows I have listened to they have noted that he passes it off.....also he walked off the court while a game was still being played because his team was losing

He may be one of the greats but still is not on MJs level and doesn't have ice in his veins like Kobe did

What goalies are remaining?

If none worthwhile in FA see what you can get for Fleury

Only because self imposed cap. This is purely speculative

A page or two back someone I believe it was 89 said to take him on but only if they give up Tuch...

Would love to see it

Just finished looking him up:

5th - Even strength save percentage at .934
4th - Even strength goals saved above average at 13.23
5th - Same category as above but per 60
9th - Even strength high danger save percentage at .851

Faced similar even strength shot rate and high danger shot rates per 60 as Ullmark, but had a much higher save percentage against high danger shots than Ullmark (ranked 9th compared to 53rd for Hutton.

He also had a better goals against than expected goals against, which is a strong indicator of quality play.

Kuemper has a 2 year deal at $4.5M per starting this coming season, but his actual salary this coming season is $3.5M while it's $5.5M in 21-22.

My only question is he seems used to playing in a defensive system, which means if Ralph employs a more defensive style (doubtful), can Kuemper still perform well facing a higher volume of dangerous shots?

Arizona will trade one of their goaltenders.

Tuch isn't happening, but I'd squeeze a 1st plus out of Vegas and demand they retain 50% of Fleury's salary as well. If Vegas balks, move on.

I know it's rumored that teams asked for a 1st a 2nd and 33% retained so while the pick maybe mid or late 20s it's still a good return if that's what it takes

Just lots of goalies on the move this year

I didn't think the CBA allowed for less than a 50% difference in a seasons salary between the high and low level marks.

LeBron also has a slightly better percentage when it comes to clutch shots, landing 47 percent of his attempted game-winning shots, compared with Jordan's 45 percent.


you should work for the sabres, great spin job

According to Pattani, Jordan was 9-of-18 for his career in our playoff version of clutch.

A 50 percent clip on such shots is simply outstanding.

Michael Jordan: 7/15 (47%)

the fact basketball is brought up 36 hours after the sabres draft and first day of ufa is a good reflection of where the hockey team really stands


I feel bad for those that work for sabres social media, they took a beating yesterday

No, (frank) whichever side of any argument you are on. You’re clearly just wrong.

But the guy with 25 career goals left. Boo Hoo

Sabres should have given him 3.5 - 4 million, that's what 40 point guys get.
- Boss34

Well, maybe a better way to say it is...

The Sabres, a goal starved team for the last 4+ years, actively chose to:

A) usher out the door a 0.67ppg player for them ..all over ~ $500k...he who has produced a 25 goals over his 1st 138 games in the league
Yet
B) overpaid a 4th line player who produces at 0.28 ppg and scored 19 goals over the last 141 games

Perspective.

Everyone a little more sane today.
