That is how i look at it too ... .internal cap of 70 mill.

The Sabres should go after Holtby to get that cap up. Ready for this pegulas special ...... he has 1 year left at 4.3 million. I wouldnt hate it and yes i know his game has fallen off. its better than paying ullmark 6

Rumor on Ullmark is a 3 year deal at just under $5M per with the Sabres.

He is Better than Hutton too. We have some decent goalie prospects and aren’t supposed to be a contender for a few.

It’s a shame there’s 0 chance it would happen but overpaying Ryan Suter for 3 years would be huge for Dahlin, Power, Samuelsson etc.

If only we weren’t the absolute worst

Under 5 i would be ok. Nothing over 5. And 3 years scares me with his injury issues

Give him 9 mil for 1 year and trade him at the deadline half retained.

Dallas will give Suter 4 years, which is one year too many for me.

I'm affraid of bringing in players who do not want to play in buffalo. Old overpriced vets for the bill.

That's what your getting in exchange for picks.

Does bad attitude around our youth = draft picks?

I think there is a chance that they could be excited. Team gives up on them. Buffalo puts them in a more prominent role. Gives them a chance to show they still have it and deserve another contract

For goaltending, I'd sign Ullmark. Say $5M per for 3 years.

Take on Holtby's cap for 1 season to gain an additional asset from Vancouver.

I'd take Fleury back (in a trade for Eichel perhaps), and then trade Fleury while retaining 50% to the team he wants to go to (likely Pitt).

I'd really like to avoid a term longer then 3 years, but it's not easy considering the sad state of the Sabres franchise and attracting any other goaltenders in FA.

I am pretty much okay if they manage to an internal cap this season. Theyve been pissing away uncle Terry's money for years now and have crippled the franchise with stupid contracts.

- SABRES 89

He really isn’t that good and always hurt. He is a good back up but with the injuries I don’t know what to say. If he wasn’t in the goalie deprived region of New York he would probably be a 2-3 mil goalie.

Agreed which is why I said 3 would be perfect. In reality everything goes well he’s your 3rd pairing vet to Power and Dahlin in year 3.

I’m hoping someday soon those guys become options because a lot of the good Pitt/Chi/LA cup teams had some old stars who paced themselves during the regular season and always stepped it up in the playoffs

Isn’t that what we want for a year?

Ullmark
Holtby

In 2021-22 welcomes a top 3 in ‘22?

You still melting out there?

Not a bad deal, if he can stay healthy he's been solid for the most part

- SABRES 89


Nah, I wouldn't say he stinks - he's just "OK" though...but we need a great goaltender to have any chance of succeeding.

Ullmark would make a nice backup to a great goalie. I don't think it's fair to say he stinks though.
