The Vezina voters the last 2 seasons agree with me

Anderson is average at best
Kuemper is top10, maybe top5

- jdfitz77

kuemper got one vote this year, arizona writer

https://www.hockey-refere...m/awards/voting-2020.html


9 votes the year before

https://www.hockey-refere...m/awards/voting-2019.html


so he got 10 votes from over 550 voters in 2 years

The chargers finding another way to lose after holding a 7 point lead in the 4th quarter has to be some sort of record

“Chargers have lost NFL high 12 games the past 9 seasons when leading by 7+ in 4th quarter, including 3 this year. The only teams to lose 4 times in a year in past 30 seasons when leading by 7+ in 4th:
2015 Giants
2011 Cowboys”

Tonight would be 4 if they lose to the Raiders

he played good vs preds

not so much vs colorado

he is ok, I dont see the obsession as I think if they were getting a goalie, we would have already grabbed one by now

Leafs don’t have the Cap space,
& ARZ isn’t taking Cap back

WSH has a young stud goalie in net (Samsonov), & same Cap issues

You’re just making things up now dude

- jdfitz77


Ok you win. Yes Washington will rely on a young guy with very limited experience and the leafs definitely couldn’t bring Kuemper in and move Anderson out. Would Washington take Raanta as a backup knowing he’s owed 1 mil this year?

The biggest problem with this team by far was the lack of consistent secondary scoring That has been fixed. No need to do more at this point.

Idk about “obsession”
He’s a guy supposedly available that would be a clear upgrade on what we have currently

I don’t have faith that Ullmark & Hutton get the job done

if he is good, and he may be

why would the yotes trade him with 2 unproven goalies in the ahl and raanta who is a rental


it's not like he has a bad contract

Let’s just say this. The yotes are not going to trade Kuemper unless they are blown away with any offer. The Sabres cannot afford to be in this race. If I was Adams I would stay away from any more dealings period until the season is underway and I could see what the moves made already have accomplished
- Camel


You think the defense, as currently constituted, is good enough, with how they cratered the last month and a half of the season?

You think the pair of Montour (LHD) - Ristolainen (RHD) playing big minutes is a recipe for success?

Sh?t no. If some trade is out there that makes sense why wouldn’t they jump on it. I wouldn’t be initiating anything

Caps don’t have the Cap space
They’re at the limit with only 21 guys signed
I’m sure they’d like to bring in a Vet, but they’ve only got Henrik’s 1.5mil to work with
They can’t afford Raanta (or Kuemper)
Being owed only 1mil doesn’t mean his Cap hit is less dude

And who has the Cap space & goalie need to take Anderson off the Leaf’s hands?

You’re reaching dude

- homiedclown


They’re rebuilding & will presumably get more for him now than if they wait till he’s a rental himself
And they need Cap space

They bet big on Kessel & Hall and some others & it just didn’t work out
Gotta go back to the drawing board so to speak

The Chargers didn’t choke for once.

Even more surprising then when they do blow a lead and lose.

The Sabres seem to believe they've done enough to be a playoff team without any further changes needing to be made, and that's a big red flag IMO.

Ok. Just tell me how you would get this done and how it would effect the next several sabres years. 1000 words or less

That was a pretty ugly game.

Mariota could have been picked off another 3 times but they were dropped.

Chargers kicker should have ended the game twice in the 4th quarter.
