dudacek Posted November 5, 2020 Report Share Posted November 5, 2020 17 minutes ago, Thorny said: We'd have too many goalies if we added another, right? And I don't really see anyone taking Hutton. Only as a salary dump, to balance contracts. I could see teams willing to send a goalie out (like Arizona) being interested in Johansson — not as a valuable asset, but as a depth addition, with some upside and minimal cap impact.

This seems unlikely to me. But possible, I guess? The second bit you suggested could happen, too. Hutton to Roch always seemed the most likely, though, and this deal pretty much takes that off the table. IMO the tea-leaves say it's looking a bit more likely we are looking at close to the final roster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Circumstances have changed, but Hutton for Fleury would have been an example. The Knights could have made a much-needed $4.25 million salary dump and plugged Hutton in as a backup. The Sabres would have had a vet co-starter at a reasonable $4.25 cap increase. Tell the Coyotes they can trade us Kuemper for a 2nd, or for Hutton and 2 2nds. Just examples. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bob_sauve28 Posted December 27, 2020 Report Share Posted December 27, 2020 Would not surprise me if this guy gets into games this year for Sabres.

I’d love to see a bounce back for Hutton, but he is 35 at this point and he may just be washed up. Still have a little hope that Buffalo can make a move for another goalie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derrico Posted December 27, 2020 Report Share Posted December 27, 2020 Good lord why would the sabres put a lot of the season on journeyman backups and big time question marks. Get a legit 1a/1b type goalie and let him run with Ullmark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
