He was pretty consistent: he let in at least 2 goals in every game he started

I do not subscribe to the Athletic

Of course not, they write a lot of positive Sabres articles.

Good stuff. Not the same old trolling fitz style....

yeah

model takes players at face value, so teams that roll a lot of young players without an established (veteran) goalie is going to get poop on.

As you can see from above, this is what happened last year. And it's happening this year. And once again, the Sabres will take a poop on this model.

Modelling 3 goalies with 100 games between them isn't going to be high confidence, but you'd have to project well below average.

Yep, but 4 out of 7 games he allowed 2 goals and had some OT games in there too.

Makes sense to take another look at upl.

The Sabres organization has proven successful by not giving up on prospects.

Tage is a prime example
Now mitts broke thru
Krebs / upl could be next

that's fine. the base of this team is all developing players. These models will probably look bad for another 2 years.

Which means absolute Richard to me. All I want is to see the developing players get better as a whole. And they will.

I don't find UPL to be toolsy like the other examples above. Guy gives up a lot of bad rebounds and is inconsistent in his positioning. He's athletic but kinda dumb.

Hey everyone, just wanted to let you know the Clown is having a big party at his house this weekend. Please bring a dish to pass, there will be a full bar with burgers, dogs, sausages, $10/pp.

Should there be any repercussions for Adams if he's wrong?

If it takes that deal to get Timmins and a 3rd for Lyubushkin, I'd happily take it.

That's a fair opinion. He's flubbed some...

I went to back to back games (nyr and caps ) at home in 2021-22 season and upl was magnificent.

I'm hoping he regains some confidence.

Adams had upl over for dinner at his home recently.
They still have high Hope's for him.

And he played better, not trying to argue who the front runner is. Just pointing out that even The Savior had the same issue.

I saw UPL get drafted and ate some of his meals he made at Adams, why hope when he's a lock Boss?

Probably some small repercussions....

Nothing to off balance signing and keeping his top 2 centers in buffalo for under market thru 2030.

You seems especially down on the Sabres, everyone everywhere is super excited except a few trud trolls around here.

We have a phenom goalie, aren't you excited about him?

More worried about bashing the back up prospect though?

I saw Adams at K-mart in 97', his shopping cart was filled with tremendous stuff - to limit him to only Top 5 GM is asinine.

I'm optimistic over a lot of what Kevyn does, but this move is challenging to me.

He's not a prospect and he might not be a backup either.

Most national perspectives have goaltending as a massive concern for the Sabres. Maybe Adams will be right - but if he's wrong I think it should cost him his job.
