She told me I've done such an excellent job I can run her position now.. but without the title.

Something about being to busy with the Bills

Hopefully he can find that consistency with his health to move forward. Kid has the talent

people forget he is only 23 when they hit the ice this fall

miller, not saying 6k in anyway will be a miller, was 25 when the sabres started their playoff runs in the fall of 2005

Yeah, hopefully he can stay healthy. He has the talent, he was decent for those 9 games.

If Savoie isn’t there at 9, I like Lekkerimaki.

Might even be able to talk myself into Kasper at that spot too.

I know what you're saying but Miller played 170 AHL games and 100+ college games before turning pro. UPL has played 60 AHL games and 50 OHL games

ullmark has played over 180 games since being drafted and 2 more years of play which hopefully puts him at 260 games when he is 25

I want the glass half full as he had decent numbers in the handful of games he played with the sabres, when the sabre team was lost this season
.917 save percentage and 2.74 gaa

wish he would have received a call up but seems rochester playoff push was more important

I'd keep him there for 50 more
He's not ready

Yeah it's just been something of a development nightmare for him. Double hip surgery, covid season, more injuries. It's hard for me to be really high on him when he just can't stay healthy. He has skill, I just wish he had more games under his belt at this point

I personally wouldn't count on UPL as a Sabre next year but KA and company (read: Terry Pegula) seem dead set on making it happen. I just hope they make a real move for the other goalie position.

On upl
Question is what if he is not ready
Then what do you do
Calling up tokarski/ subban and we're in the same spot as this year sign/ trade for a starter and let Anderson back him up
Gonna either need a breather or injuries will happen
Exactly what we wanted this year

Yup. That's why I'd love for them to get two real goalies, but for the sake of my sanity because I know they won't, I'm setting my sights on a duo of: "UPL and better-than-Malcolm-Subban"

It's admittedly a low bar

My money is on Greiss. He's ancient and cheap. Just the way the Sabres like em. Halak works too though
