Nothing official yet, but his year is probably over is all I heard.

Ankle injury according to Lance from the Buffalo News.

The Sabres' day in Boston went from bad to worse with goalie Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen suffering what sources say is an ankle injury.

"That’s obviously a big one, because this is a great opportunity for him to get some minutes and now that’s in question."

Dustin Tokarski is not on the ice for the Sabres' morning skate. Ullmark and Houser are the goalies.

Thanks for this, saw the SB article, but nothing confirming injury. Just mentioned it was considered serious enough that the Sabres are expecting not to have him.

Dammit EAKIN!

There's so much you can do to set this team up for success.

-Jack returns at 1C
-Remove players that damage your team. Eakin, Ristolainen, demote Bryson
-Free agents to beef up defense (McCabe and Hamilton cause (frank) it) and definitely a real goalie
-Consider a trade that uses one or two of our current forwards, and or some picks and prospects to find a young quality top 6 F

Removing Staal and Montour surprisingly helped this team. There's more you can do and it isn't astrophysics level of hard.
- TheSabresTaco

Hamilton is projected to get $72M for 8 years in free agency...

Yes.

Other people will still not like it, too.
- TheSabresTaco

Its w/e you got a free 2nd round pick Just need to hit on the draft pick

The problem with McCabe is that we have our 3 LHDs in the system. If we got someone like him we wouldn't want anything more than a year. Also, he very well might not be ready at the start of next year.
- Slump Buster

We have Dahlin, Bryson and Samuelsson? I don't see where a good veteran defenseman couldn't be inserted into that. Bryson isn't even that good. In fact, he's pretty bad at defense. Him and Samuelsson both need more time. If you want to be better, McCabe is a part of that for at least two years.

Ok, so trade Risto, add 3M and we get Douggie?

Sold, Americano

That what EW shows?

It's literally that easy.

And he's not going to come here so everyone can shut it about acquiring the man.

I'd take McCabe and use Bryson as a 7/8d

miller doesn't get in the hof yall are nuts

This season cant end fast enough

Taylor Hall would never come here.

Toss his ass back to Rochester while he's waiver exempt. There's no reason he needs to be here if you want to win.

is the bryson love done here? i got roasted like one week ago for saying i'd rather see him as the 7d next season instead of gifting him a spot

miller doesn't get in the hof yall are nuts
- robz228

Everyone in nhl disagrees listen some of you might not like the guy but every Person they have had on NHL network and tsn from coaches to gms said hes a lock

is the bryson love done here? i got roasted like one week ago for saying i'd rather see him as the 7d next season instead of gifting him a spot
- robz228

The 7 spot does nothing for him. Why would you put a waiver exempt guy on the bench for half the season? That doesn't help him or the team. Your 7th D is your veteran Larry that plays spot minutes. Bryson should be a call up next season.

Seeing what Bryson can and can't do, he should be developing play in his own end in Rochester.

Taylor Hall would never come here.
- TheSabresTaco

Look what happend when he did....


Im sure that scares away the others if the last 10 years haven't

That's not the point.

- TheSabresTaco

There is no point. He's not coming

I think Miller will be in the HOF because of his American records.

His career was long but rather pedestrian for what is considered a great goalie.

Don't comp him to Hasek, Roy, Brodeur and Belfour.

I liked Miller. I thought he played the game hard and brought a unique intensity.

also fine, just people were inking him in their projected lineups on the 2nd pair and i thought that was a little crazy

How do you have Ed Belfour in that group


Thats a joke right?

That's not the point.

Buffalo will be after kog if he hits
