UFA - keumper, campbell or Vanecek

RFA - there are some interesting options.

- SabresFaninIndiana


The "best" guys are going to want multi-year deals, which Adams will for sure not do. So if you go UFA, you're signing a plug or a proovie deal. Campbell or Vanacek maybe hits that catty. Trading for a high(er) end RFA spells the end of one of Levi or Ports. Probably the latter.

I suspect they trade for a guy like Quick. 1-2 years, bloated contract, limited commitment. Perfect guy to pair with UPL. Tokarski or similar to sign a 1 year deal to take some Rochester minutes and be G3.

[quote=Buff36]If Adams doesn't come away with a G this offseason it's because he doesn't want to. There's some RFA'S that should be looked at to.

Could of said same thing last year

Anybody think ullmark gets moved this summer
Be a Adams move for sure

And no I wouldn't like it

Fair, not sure about Keumper but Campbell or VV would be enticing. Vitek Vanecek is so much fun to say too.

It sure was, NO puck and hit from behind.

Eichel skates infront of Quinn and Quinn barely gives him a push. His arms barely even move in the video, He puts his stick on his back.


Its a non-penalty. Or its a dive.

That's who I asked Marty about today. He said, for sure Anaheim is up againt the cap, and they will try and move him. He personally doesn't like the way Gibson plays goal, but it makes sense he says.

So I was thinking there are a lot of decent to good RFA'S this offseason. Would it be worthwhile to pluck one.
- Buff36


There's also a number of quality forward UFA's as well.

give Kuemper a nice retirement package and sign him for 2 years at 10 mil per.

VV is gonna want a longer term contract and probably same with Campbell. it will be interesting to see what they do. I have a feeling i will be disappointed

that would signal a very long term view for Levi and/or Portillo, a belief they have no interest in being here, and/or a disbelief in UPL.

All of those are resonable beliefs. Protillo might as well be considered a FA at this point.

He's pretty below average. Even in his isolated goalie metrics, which sets aside his poopty team in front of him.

In fact, the past 3 years he has been pedestrian. Absolutely dominant prior.

Can't really argue his numbers the last 3 years. They aint been great. I know, however, he can start 50 games without getting injured, and I think he could give our team a .910 save %. He's only one option though. There are several others. I'd offer MAF one year for any amount of money he wanted.

Ullmark last year, isolated, was better than Gibson this year.
