General question. How is the goaltending without UPL ? 

Can't be any worse that's for sure.

I believe I heard Sabres were 10th in goals but 29th in GAA. So I know what needs improvement.

Lyon has looked solid. Georgiev had one solid game one rougher game but in preseason it is about the lineup being iced in front of you vs the lineup the other team ices. Georgiev’s game in Detroit the Red Wings had a much stronger roster

Problem being is you can’t fabricate toughness with a couple of 4th liners.  It helps but real team toughness comes from everyone and they have purged a lot of the passengers from the roster.  But still employ a few players that are never going to help in that aspect.  

True but it is a lot easier to play tougher when you have some tough guys around rather than none.

Kesselring and Doan will both drop the gloves too. They will be a tougher team than last year.

Didn’t like Lyon but once he stuffed Kane he stepped up rest of game

I like Norris’ game so much better than Cozens’. He just needs to stay on the ice.

Helenuis and Mrtka continue to impress.

I have a strong feeling that Ruff has plans for both Dunne and Geertsen.

Lyon has been pretty solid. 

Sending them back down is the right thing, but I want them more in the league right now and I feel like I shouldn't seeing our past.

But for Mrtka you need  to send Samuellson away, and for Helenius you got krebs, greenway, and I want Östlund up there too.

Mostly good. Lyon let in a bad one today (Det #2) but he didn't have many tough saves to make because we are better at defending.

And a lot of it is Mrtka. I'm not advocating keeping him in Buffalo but he looks awfully good. He might be better off in Rochester than Seattle.

Also I feel like Ruff is looking for a 4th line that can move stuff in a game for him, but its a bit old school feeling for me, not completely wrong but  dump greenway please.
