4 years and 5 million on the surface seems steep for Ullmark. Any insight you all may be able to provide on him and that contract? I don’t watch much of the Sabres.

Constantly hurt. Decent stats. Bad angles. Poor vision. System goalie.

Very likeable person. Decent goalie. I'm sure he'll be awesome with that loaded team. I think he'll be outstanding for you guys.

If he can stay healthy he is a top 10 goalie

But he hasn't been able to do that

Sounds like the Sabres were in the same ballpark for him. When healthy he's a good goalie. Poor guy stood on his head and had a winning record for the Sabres this year when he played. It makes a whole lot of sense for him to choose to play with Boston. I think you guys will be pleasantly surprised at how good he is. TBH I can't wait to see him play behind a good team for once.

Do I think they will be good? Absolutely not. Do I think they will be better than last year? Yes. The guys we've signed have decent advanced stats, that's a fact. And yeah I'm a fairly optimistic person, more bearable to go through life that way.

Pysyk for under a million isn’t a bad move. Fine as a bottom pair D

I am an optimist too but FFS how do you see this team as better? Lost our best
Player last year in rhino, our starting goalie, hell we have NO goalies right now.

I don’t know if we get 10 regulation wins

Exactly. If they can fill out a roster and at least be competitive in games. It’s one thing to rebuild it’s another thing to trade away players performing too well to lose.

It’s fitting there is a player named Butcher on this team! It’s the exact word for the job Adams and the Pegulas are doing right now! Unreal!
