At this rate, 6K won't be ready for a starting role next season. I don't think you bring him in to be a backup, there's no reason to take time away from him. Keep Tokarski as your backup or whatever, sign or trade for a 1-2 year starter. If 6K is ready in that time frame, do something with Tokarski and have a goalie battle.

I think Carter Hutton was a good move at the time. He became decrepit a little fast, so maybe trade for someone who isn't on their career death bed.

UPL at this point won’t ever be nhl ready. But still a long way to go

I don't disagree I think goalies can be had maybe see if you can get Adin Hill if we take Kane

WHAT?!

He had 3 bad games at the start of the season ffs! This guy has been lights out since, I've counted 2 iffy goals since with quadruple that number of "should have been a goal" saves. He's settling into a starting AHL job nicely now, next step is the pros.

In most cases, NHL teams want their goaltending prospects to play around 100 games in the AHL before promoting them. Obviously every player is different, but anyone calling him a "bust" at this point is being premature.

Do you have the game logs? I do see he was goalie of the week the other week

Ullmark has been horrible with the Bruins. I would pass on that contract and term
- Sabretooth9

Agreed. Boston made an expensive mistake, we shouldn't even consider helping them undo that.

He's definitely bouncing back from a horrendous start.

he was ahl player of the week 2 weeks ago

his game has been better since the rough start

No point in judging 6k until after the playoffs. Season just getting started.

Want to see how this kid plays under pressure.

game logs are hard to find. might have to dig into the box scores of each game to pull the data.

However, I have this.

The top two scorers in the AHL are both related to Buffalo.

One thing that is funny, at work everything AHl related my work blocks out.... but i can go on virtually every other site.

I don't, I'd imagine he probably had one sub .900% start in there somewhere. Other than that, very consistent and has made some really huge saves. Sports Center worthy.

So the rest of this year and some or all of next, perhaps.

Pull up the link above on your phone, but you can see UPL has a good mix of good and bad games. He is consistently inconsistent.

He is our future goalie. His work, ethic, attitude and ability is best in this organization
