Pittsburgh?

21 - no pick
20 - no pick
19 - Samuel Poulin
18 - no pick
17 - no pick
16 - no pick
15 - no pick
14 - Kasperi Kapanen
13 - no pick

Is no pick better than a Nylander? A Grigaranko?

15/16 & 16/17 Stanley cup champions and spent all the picks to be a top contender…worth it for them…for now

Good to see Eichel and Skunk playing well.

Hutton, Lehner, Anderson, Tokarski, Ullmark and so many more have one thing in common. Buffalo can't be in the rear view mirror fast enough for any of them.
Way too much blame on these goalies when the team basically has been the sh!t show of the league for many years. If you and some others can't get this i can only say none of these goalies miss this team and who can blame them.

If Buffalo wants to do that and win a cup I’m on board

Hutton has been a sh!t show this year, too.

Ullmark hasn't been good this year, especially given the team he plays for.

Tokarski isn't an NHL goalie, period.

Yes, they are a train wreck in their own zone way too much, but soft goals lets this team down, too.

One game I’m saying this team looks close to turning the corner.
The next I’m saying it’s so far away.

I don’t know which one is closer to the truth at this point.

This team will be much different next year. It's not like these are the 20 guys they're moving forward with, so trying to figure that out is probably a moot point.

Come on now. These goalies who you say let soft goals in only play field for the Sabres right? Come on. I watch lots of hockey at every level. All tenders let in bad goals. Let's face it. This team has been soft for many years. They have lacked secondary scoring and solid defence for many years. To top it off this team has been a sh!t show for a long time and everyone knows it. No doubt the goalies deserve some blame but not all of it like so many of you think. These goalies you seem to rag on have had solid pro careers with good numbers You have to admit that GMs around the league must think a little different than some of you fellas or why would these guys keep getting jobs.

It’s always worth it if you win a cup. Would trade our whole team for one cup

Ive honestly never seen someone consistently stick up for poor goaltending like you do.

This is an honest question, are you a goalie or a goalie coach? Just seems like it always hits a sore spot
