    Attached is a WGR link with Shayna Goldman on the SabresLive Show. The focus of this 16 min discussion was about the goalie situation for next year. The issue according to her and Marty Biron is the style of play that puts the goalies in a vulnerable position. She seems to argue that it would be a mistake to pursue major upgrades at the position because she's not sure that they will be available or worth the costs. At the end of the discussion Marty points out that a more defensive emphasis needs to be made on team defense than on pursuing outside talent. He thinks that Comrie is still a viable goalie for us. 

    At the end of the segment there was talk about Mitts and his contract value. She was considering somewhere in the range of $4.2 M on a medium length deal.

    Agree totally. If we don't correct this pitiful defense goaltending doesn't matter.

    • The day after....eeash. Playoffs are obviously done but more disturbing is that I really don't even know who this team is anymore. Are they years away? Is our coach out the door? Can our defense and goaltending really be this bad? Can we please go back to last week as this feels exactly the same as last year.

    No the coach isn't out the door. Our defense and goaltending certainly needs to get better. My guess it will by maturing of the players we have and additions. This ,and I know many don't want to hear it, is a young team and a long season without a lot of depth for this level of play. I feel better about the direction of this team and it's management than I have for over a decade.

    The ironic thing about Olofsson is now that the team has enough talent at the other F slots they could afford a PP specialist on the 3rd or 4th line, with the addition of Greenway they have 12 other options that are better even with Tuch out with the injury.

    Still don't expect him to sit - Granato loves him some VO.

     

     

     

     

     

     

    My opinion is VO has a blaze of a shot and should be a PP guy period. Frankly I hoped they could have traded him but I think his value has dropped considerably.
