Has anyone else seen an article about trade talk with San Jose for  Martin Jones? I saw it yesterday and came on here to see if anyone was talking about it, couldn't find it again. Will try again.

It’s entirely possible that Ullmark takes a jump next year.

He is at the point in his career where that happens, we just aren’t used to that kind of stuff.

It would be very Botterill to go into a season betting on the best case scenario.

Trading Risto for an overpriced goalie who is not much better than Hutton? No thank you

they could have made a trade? there is no excuse. If your goalie is literally the worst goalie in the league for a 4 month period and has told you that he has vision issues, you need to find another goalie.  if he didn't say anything, but knew there was an issue. you waive him and remove him from the organization.

Could it be that they found out that Jason knew his goalie had vision issues and did nothing ?

weird that 3 weeks ago , he was still going to be the GM.  This story comes out about that time and now he is fired.  
just a coincidence?

From a Buffalo News follow-up on how Hutton’s eye problem was treated:

The problem is now in the past and Hutton plans to make the vision (exercises) part of his training regimen.

What's weird is that he wasn't already doing vision exercises. It's a pretty common thing now for goalies at all levels to basically do eye exercises to increase their puck tracking ability.

I’m going to assume that there are probably very specific eye exercises to help improve this condition and that they are at least somewhat different from the eye exercises that goalies normally do.

Hutton was diagnosed with convergence insufficiency during the 2019-20 season, a condition where his eyes do not move at the same time. He soldiered on with the ailment. His stats (.898 save percentage, 3.18 goals-against average) suffered.

“It’s good. It’s good now. I worked out a lot of stuff during the year,” said the former Thunder Bay Golden Hawks and Fort William North Stars goalie. “For a few months there I really struggled, it was disheartening. I worked with a few specialists in Buffalo, just around North America that helped me. Got to the root of the problem. From there it gave me the tools to improve. I thought by the end of January I was back to normal.”

Ullmark, for now, seems to have the inside track on the No. 1goaltender job in Buffalo. Hutton is looking to have a say in the matter.

“Having that three-year contract was the first time I’ve ever had a three-year contract and some security, so obviously that was nice,” Hutton said. “At the end of the day I’ve played under these circumstances a lot — the pressure of contract years. The business side that comes with it. I’m looking forward to controlling what I can control. There’s lots of things that go one with the business of hockey. I can control how I prepare and be ready to play. The rest will take care of itself.”

Buffalo head coach Ralph Kreuger retained his job with the Sabres. It’ll be his second year at the helm. He’s part of the new breed of bench bosses in the NHL.

“I think today’s day and age players are a little difference than back in the day where it was a little more hard knocks,” said Hutton. “The culture and different sensitivity of things. Ralph does a good job of managing all different ages of players and different cultures. He’s an unbelievable guy with his hockey knowledge and his room presence is awesome. He’s a guy I think we can definitely grow under here in Buffalo.”
