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.

The problem is if you don't sign him when he does want to remain a Sabre, what other options are there that don't involve spending assets to get a goalie?

Ullmark stinks

Winning record on this bad team for all 3 seasons, with good numbers to boot. That's a reasonable risk.

That's called silly season for a reason, and don't we know it all too well (Okposo, Leino, Eakin, whoever else I'm forgetting).

Hoping we just get a couple goalies and a defenseman.

I wanted Chris Driedger

I think Ullmark is better. Just needs to be healthy. Maybe that season is coming.

No, longer this surgery thing goes, the longer it takes to move him.

I would assume Eichel would peddle the option of surgery until he can control his destination

If he truly needs surgery, then it doesn’t matter where he wants to go. The team that gets him will be screwed for at least half the year I would think.

That's why he needs to be moved, you can't go into next year with him on this team.

If he would just play ball, he would be in a new city by now.

The Jackets didn't waste any time , they didn't hang there heads when Jones wanted out, the made there team better. The Sabres just make excuses.

Is it possible the Pegula’s are just trying to cut salary for a sale?

They are clueless, they got lucky with the Bills and it makes them look good.
