The fallacy of anyone arguing that the goalies arenโ€™t that big of a problem is the assumption that Ullmark โ€œgets betterโ€ or performs like a #1. Im with you, itโ€™s overly optimistic

Every move the Sabres have made with him say they don't value him as a starter.

Normally I'd agree, but they've kicked the can down the road with so many players so many times that I have a difficult time knowing what they really think of players anymore.

Completely agree. When you kick it all the way to UFA, it's hard to take a positive view on it. Strange times, but even in a normal year, would you give him an average starter deal? say 5 years @ 5m?

Had to check, Ullmark is tied for 40th for G salaries.

Hockey is on...bit of a pita to post with all the problems the site is having, but decided to work around it tonight.

Ullmark has 5 NHL seasons. Binnington had 1 NHL game coming into that season. Is there really a comparison there?

The refs are blowing it.

NFL wants Baltimore in and hates Fitzpatrick.

That throw by Fitzpatrick while getting his head twisted 180 degrees has to be one of the best things I have ever seen.

Bills take care of business Monday, rest starters next week, Miami starts Fitzpatrick, wins, come to Buffalo the following week in the Wild Card. That's full-circle for Fitzpatrick and Bills fans.

They both had/have no playoff experience.

Goaltenders can get hot and win games. Sometimes the position looks overrated.

I'm not thrilled with the goalie combo, but would you rather have signed a high priced goalie like markstrom?
6 years 30 million.
Basically sam and ullmark or markstrom and ka boo hun

Hope you had a great Christmas, I'm out for tonight ๐Ÿ‘Š

#Sens have acquired Derek Stepan from #Coyotes in exchange for a 2021 2nd round pick (previously from #CBJ).
