Drag0nDan Posted November 30, 2021 Report Share Posted November 30, 2021 17 hours ago, PerreaultForever said: That's a good question. I don't think anybody good. Best you're going to be able to do right now is some cast off like Murray. Possibly there will be a salary dump goalie closer to deadline if some team wants to add but can't due to cap space but at that time what's the point? Options for 2022? The team is in a serious goalie hole at the moment. Playing better in front of them helps make it a more desirable destination, but they need to add talent and evaluate this year to see about finding someone for the forseeable future.

At worst it doesn't work out and you've lost basically nothing. At best it makes the Sabres better and then you can trade him or Anderson or Tokarski at the deadline. There's really no reason not to do it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doohickie Posted November 30, 2021 Report Share Posted November 30, 2021 Most of the guys on this forum can't read sarcasm. But yeah, you're right. Even being fully aware of what they'd be getting into, they'd probably jump at the chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mustache of God Posted November 30, 2021 Report Share Posted November 30, 2021 If Tokarski is injured what are we looking at? A Ukko-Pekka - Dell tandem? A Dell - Houser tandem? Does it force gmka to make a trade to bring someone in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudacek Posted November 30, 2021 Report Share Posted November 30, 2021 UPL has more NHL raw material than Tokarski or Dell. I don’t think he’s near ready, but he has a better chance of catching lightning in a bottle than either. I think he’s highly likely to implode, but he can’t be worse than what we’ve got from Toker in half his recent games. And Dell every game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norcal Posted November 30, 2021 Report Share Posted November 30, 2021 I remember joking when Scott Wedgewood was on waivers and Arizona picked him up that he was the new tank commander. All he's done is go 3-3 with a 2.45 gaa and .929 save %. Goalies are weird man. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
