More like the NFL prints money while the NHL is a charity case. The Bills, one of the lowest valued NFL franchises, is worth 1.4 Billion more than the most valuable NHL franchise, the Maple Leafs. Just shows the huge disparity in terms of what each league is working with. There are players in the NFL that are paid almost what the NHL salary cap is for each team total.

No, that's why he sold a small percentage of the Bills to private equity firms.

100% and we also have cup and char pepperoni and some places have sweet sauce...they made it sound like that was the difference between us and Rochester.

seems about par for the course based on his last few years

The only really good year he has was in a contract year which makes me wonder how focused he is day to day outside of when big time money is on the line. Wouldn't be the first athlete who way outperformed his career average in contract years. Even with that very good year last year, his career save percentage is sub .900 which is abysmal for a starting goalie in today's NHL. In fact, come to think of it, UPL only really seems to be prepared nightly when something is on the line for him. His rookie year he put up really good stats similar to his contract year in a small sample size trying to earn a spot on the Sabres...same in his contract year. Seems like he slacks off and gets lazy and doesn't pay attention to details unless he has something at stake which isn't what you want from a pro athlete who should be constantly pushing themselves regardless.

that turned out to be a pretty great contract for 30-40+ goals every year

Tyler Head using his head...

been a good player, we should keep him.

Bills going buckwild It happens, that's life. Every team has those. Most more often than the Bills do

He said "if" they got it done on time...we don't know if they did or not

I wouldn't...he is a mentally weak player on a team with far too many of them. Gotta start getting rid of these players.

Power...favorite whipping boy but one of the best play starters from his own zone in the NHL and has been since his rookie year.

We have scored the most goals per game over the last 30 games in the entire NHL at 3.43 and are 8th overall this season at 3.18(fractionally away from top 5). How are they scoring all these goals if nobody is creating them? SOMEONE has to be creating them.

Zucker is a "pro's pro". Same with Greenway. You don't want to lose players like that when you desperately need more of those kind of players.

Sabres have scored the most goals per game in the NHL over the last 30 games at 3.43 and are 8th overall this season at 3.18(fractionally away from being top 5). Exactly who is creating these if all we have are finishers? Makes no sense...SOMEONE has to be creating them to be producing at that level.

Norris can finish, we have a lot of guys that can create

Norris is somewhat better as he is a -29 in his career over 236 games while Cozens is a -54 over 341 games. Extrapolating Norris at the same number of games as Cozens and he would be a -41. Not great, but better. Also...interestingly enough there is a player named Dylan Cozens that plays for the Milwaukee Brewers as well...same exact spelling. Kinda wild 2 players with such uncommon first and especially last names would be pro athletes at the same time.

A 35 goal scorer is "literally nothing"? Strange world we live in if true.

Adams probably thinks that is who the Norris trophy is named after and is insistent he be included in the deal and thinks he is fleecing the Sens. Could be a useful player...

nice contract...good player.

We can make all the excuses we want but let's look at some of the other goalies we had here during this 14 years of terribleness. Of the goalies who played 25+ games: Anders Nilsson posted a .923 save percentage Michael Neuvirth posted a .921 save percentage Robyn Lehner posted a .916 save percentage Linus Ullmark posted a .912 save percentage Chad Johnson posted a .907 save percentage Carter Hutton posted a .902 save percentage Craig Anderson posted a .902 save percentage Dustin Tokarski posted a .901 save percentage UPL posted a .900 save percentage Levi posted a .894 save percentage Comrie posted a .882 save percentage I would argue whoever the goalie coach has been needs to be canned ASAP and they need to bring back whoever was here during the earlier years(Irbe?) because the goalies performed really well.

new goalie that can post an NHL level save percentage outside a contract year. sounds like Pegula is falling into the Ralph Wilson move of wanting to be comfortable with the person as the GM rather than requiring him to be good at his job and get results.

Ruff wasn't here when UPL posted a .892 save percentage 2 years ago, very similar to the .890 he has this year. In fact, it's more likely THIS is who UPL actually is and last year was an anomaly in a contract year(surprise, surprise...never seen this before in sports, have we?) based on his overall career. His average is a .900 save percentage in his career. That's putrid.

Yeah, switch roles with him and Adams 😂
