Dell has had some mild NHL success

.931 in 20 games in 16/17
.914 in 17/18 in 29 games

Since then not so much

- sbroads24


I put zero stock into backup goalie numbers.

Scott Darling put up seasons of:

.936 1.95
.915 2.58
.924 2.38

as a backup, then one season as a starter went .888 and 3.18.

Cam Talbot is much the same, though he did have one good year as a starter.

most teams have 4LD, one playing RD


pysyk is not good, so anything is almost a certain upgrade

For the long term, there should be a few RHD on the board with the Panthers pick.

Our dear friend Linus Ullmark has struggled for the Bruins (so far) :

"Linus Ullmark has struggled in preseason play, giving up six goals on only 32 shots.
Ullmark was signed in the off-season to a four-year/$20 million deal after going 9-6-3 for lowly Buffalo last season with a 2.63 GAA and a .917 save percentage. "Well it needs work,” head coach Bruce Cassidy said of Ullmark’s game, adding: “All in all, it's preseason for him as well and right now I'm sure he'd be the first to tell you he needs some more reps and he'll get more reps and we'll see where he's at after the Washington game (on Wednesday)."

Will the critics of this Front Office be allowed to post his performance when he has a + .920SV rate too?
Or will that be forbidden?

Not only allowed, but fully expected as he'll be adamantly defended, and the Sabres org vilified, even if he posts numbers much worse than expected.

Some are admittedly over the top with hard takes way too early IMO.

That said, The Front Office has done very, very little to prove their harsh critics wrong over the last 10 seasons. In that regard, I find it difficult to jump all over the critics takes too aggressively.

Look at the teams in front of them before they poop the bed

Darling had the Hawks and sucked with the hurricanes

Talbot good with rangers and sucked with the oilers

Sources: the Flyers training staff gave Nolan Patrick non-prescribed Ambien and Benzodiazepines to help with his traumatic head injury while not disclosing the medication given to him at the time #Flyers


Just when the critics thought the Sabres were the only incompetent organization
