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.
- Lunaion

Really didn't mean that. I am feeling that people see the growth in some of the youngins. But also see a Franchise not ready to pay to play and win. I understand wanting to build this way, but you also have to show Players you are willing to make a move or 2 to take those next steps and move forward.

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.

Hopefully we get a serious look at upl with a long playoff run, before deciding on 1A.

This team can compete with any team and for a playoff spot into march next season with good goaltending

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.
- Hank Balling

they both wanted to go back to school

they had options, just like the sabres

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
- Stripes77

I agree with hank baller jcrags too, natural progression seams like upl. KA must feel that way.

I would love kuemper to split time. Let the best man win.

Would kuemper choose the b-lo? With upl nipping at his back?

Levi/Portillo are easily three years away, at this point. One more year of college, plus two years of AHL. They shouldn't be scared if the Sabres sign a guy for, say, three years. It'll actually time out perfectly.

I bet both goalies think next year is instead of 2 years in the ahl.

Probably turn pro and only play 1 season in the ahl.
2 if they signed this season IMO

Might be why they went back? or part of the reason...

Hasn’t UPL looked better in the NHL vs. the AHL.

What do the stats say about nhl vs ahl play?

Hasn’t Hommie shown that UPL has the betters stats with the Sabres, of all Sabres goalies.

I think UPL needs to be in a split with a 1b.

I think Anderson needs to be ungraded, more due to age and ability to split the games.

I would love for the NHL to implement a full time taxi squad and you could sign Anderson as a 3.

Sadly, I have a feeling we are in for a season much like this year…

UPL
Anderson (if not retired)
Suban (lord knows why)
Tokarski …

I don’t see that as acceptable but what I expect….

2--8 against Tampa last 10

They haven't been playing well last 12 games

But they seem to have our number

Every sabres goalie is a ufa
Except upl
Let them all walk

Are the Amerks in a dog fight and in need of help just to make the playoffs?

Looks like top 5 of 7 teams in the division make the playoffs, and they are 6th. Tight race, but they do need help.

Eakin scratched

Maybe this late season competition gives us an answer to upl for next year?

I bet they send down samuelsson soon.

Ahl playoffs are a must

Rather have eakin

Lol

And that's sad

Is it just me or it the quality of the feed terrible

Samuelsson had a nice look. Good instincts coming into the highslot, and a nice feed from Vic.

Weird there going by winning percentage, cause some teams might not be able to play evert game.
