Kuemper or Holtby would be a good add, if they're interested

They are a wagon as long as they get good pitching.

Would like that. Don't see why the Islanders would move him. But hey didn't think both Hellenson and Barron would.

Maybe upl is a Rochester starter next year?
Have you seen enough to consider him a 1A starter in the nhl? I havent , especially with injuries....

We sign / trade for a starter and back up?
Maybe Anderson is 1 of those players?


Goalie is a position where you do not have to worry about pairing left d or right d, center or winger. Just go play!

Suprised you didnt bring up lehner for the 20 something 1st round pick the last time we had (3) 1st rounders?

That seems likely to me....


Something something foot out the door already? 🤔

I just listened to KA on After the Whistle and he repeatedly used the mantra that they're not going to seek short-term fixes who will block the development of the youngins. Leads me to believe it's UPL at 1G with Anderson or equal behind him.

I guess we'll see. Maybe the plan changes due to Levi/Portillo

Yep, said he's willing to wait on Andersons decision to.

It's really a depressing thing to hear. Passive and completely underwhelming.

Pretty much. Hopefully that changes in the off-season.

So on point.

I'm gonna blow my top some morning on WGR if we go into the season UPL / CA without at the very least one big fish for the forward group.

KA was saying that prior to both goalies stiffing the Sabres?

Everyone would love Anderson back, but can you rely on him as a 30 -35 game starter?

I can't rely on upl either. He should get his nhl full time shot, but 100% they address the goalie situation this offseason via FA or trade.

This tandem is not the 2022/23 camp guys IMO
I would be disappointed and I like both guys.

1 or the other +

Hoping he retires so KA can make a better move for the franchise is just so flawed.

Confirms the concern that KA would be too player friendly.

Well put. This team needs a solid 1A goalie.

Upl could be, I liked his game live. Team played well for him too.

For sure. We all just wish he had more than a cup of coffee. It's a little bit better than a wing and a prayer. I'm not sure what that is called.

When healthy he has been the best goalie the Sabres have had, the problem is he hasn't stayed healthy and he didn't have a good training camp

KA gave power a giant roger Goodell hug upon his entrance.

Donnie the center whisperer... just a hand shake.

Having a "players GM" could have its benefits as well.

Now they're in a bit of a jackpot. If they commit to a goalie with term, it could scare off levi/portillo, if they don't, they could still be left holding the bag.
