Then again, UPL has one clean OT and 5 frame shoot out win. Ellis can’t say the same.

Except for one 3 month period, UPL has proven to be a below replacement level goalie, not counting his last year in juniors. He’s not becoming the next ullmark

I'm thinking forward not creating crises. 

If you are a good GM you can't wait for the crisis, you have to think ahead about what is coming and what you need. You know there will be extra roster players very soon. You also see you just lost your D man for "an extended time" so if you want to compete seriously you make a move. You at least try and look for opportunities. 

I don't want to blow a season on any sort of if only they'd................

I am certain they are listening for offers on goalies right now. But they aren't going to fire sale them.

Always worry about injuries but if you can trade UPL and one of Ellis or Lyon gets hurt, you call up Levi. If Ellis or Lyon fall off a cliff, you call up Levi. It’s not rocket science except for probably Adams

It's a team effort. Fairburn calls it Kev-mo. 🤣

St. Louis Blues have no choice but make a trade for a new goalie to save their season

 

Yes, UPL to the Blues rescue! 🤣

I believe the window to get the best return and settle the goalie issue is open now while there are still players out with injuries. You waive UPL and he makes it through his value is virtually forever tarnished by that. It would take a long time and a consistent level of play UPL has barely managed once before to recover. GMKA needs to trade him now for whatevers and take what Adams would consider an ego punch, although, ironically, smart Sabres fans would actually appreciate the move.
