If KA feels happy with his choices in goal, and this is how the team will start the season in goal, he should be fired just prior to Game 1. That is unless the plan is to tank via the crease...in that case, he will be patting himself on the back for a job well done. For a season focused on rebuilding, who exactly would you want in goal, that would’ve reasonably came here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a golden opportunity for the Sabres to acquire a good young goaltender who may even turn out to be better than Ullmark because he is more durable. Seattle took Vitek Vanecek from Washington in the expansion draft. And then traded him back to Seattle for a second round pick. He would have been a marvelous pickup in a trade for a second round pick, a higher pick than what Washington had to offer. That would have been a terrific fall back position. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think Vanecek was wver available to any team other than Washington. My money is on Seattle and Washington having that planned in advance.

My money is on Seattle and Washington having that planned in advance. I'm inclined to agree with you. There were reports in Washington that they didn't want to lose Dillon, a defenseman, who was exposed in the draft. So it appears that a side-deal was made for them to take Vanecek and then give up a second round pick to get him back. I'm just hoping that this front office is not satisfied with the current goalie staffing and is willing to seize opportunities to upgrade that position. As it stands it is very troubling. As I have previously stated the organization made the right decision not to pay the contract that would have been needed to retain Ullmark. But in the short run it put the Sabres in a bind.

When I was a kid, the cats and dogs in our neighbourhood used to watch us play hockey on a frozen "rink" in our back yard. We would sometimes find them knocking the pucks we had around the ice and into the goals. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s been so many injuries/health issues at the GT position that people are going to forget how poorly the position was handled from the outset - hopefully that doesn’t facilitate a “run it back” approach there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will 100% run UPL back. The only question is what does the backup look like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping the Q is who IS the starter. UPL will definitely be back. They need to have somebody better than him on paper for him to have to battle past. Because this team won't be good enough to have (at best) Marty Biron between the pipes. And if Biron is what the back up ends up, with 3 decent scoring lines, a checking line, and mid-tier D; they may have something that can & should be in the mix. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taro T Posted January 28, 2022 Report Share Posted January 28, 2022 (edited) The only real questions now are: 1. Will we see the Sabres take sole possession of the NHL record by ending up w/ an 8th netminder play this year? And 2. Who will #8 be? (Will they make another Subban-esque pickup? Will the other guy in Ra-cha-cha come up w/ Robson? Will Levi &/or Portillo get a game in to get them to 9 & even 10?)

The only thing standing in the way of the record is Anderson or Ticker stepping up Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
