If we had Ullmark we would be in the playoffs right now without a battle.

But Adams was right to not give him 6m and offer 5m. We needed to save 1 million dollars.

Ullmark had the final say where he wanted to go. Stop it. if we signed Ullmark for 6 Large there would of been an outcry for heads to roll.

Hindsight is 20/20,

Well maybe if they hadn't screwed around contract wise for a couple years Ullmark would have stayed, and probably for cheaper than the 5m

Not saying it’s the same situation with their D,
but Marchessault and Verhaeghe both had trouble finding a spot on that team.

Is gudas is available, if you guys fall out?

Well, actually I heard his name mentioned twice now in the buffalo crowd 🙂

Gudas could slip into our bottom pairing neatly

No one would outcry when we make the playoffs and we have a solid goalie.

Please.....

Everyone here thought Ullmark was doo-doo. Now he is the best Goalie in the league and everyone is on the bandwagon. like I said, Hindsight is 20/20.

i bet you were not saying that when we had Ullmark...

I think they’ll re-sign Gudas

Beyond the physical game that he brings, he seems to be one of the leaders on the team.

Show me any proof where you personally wanted to sign Ullmark.. 90-95% of the PPL here wanted him gone...

Please.....

I am not saying that, but they could have signed him to a longer extension than just 2 1yr deals and could have still probably had him right know for 4m

Cool.. Trust me I wish we had a goalie with stats like Ullmark, however I in no way shape or form wanted to pay him 6 large...

sure, but again that is hindsight. Also, coulda woulda shoulda, but they didn't, we have to paly the cards we have.

No one wants to pay a goalie 6+.

36 is right in that we never should have kicked the can down the road with his contract.

Management is not doing that anymore.

sure, but again that is hindsight.

And it cost them him and Reinhart.

Management will be cautious about that road in the future.

MEH, I am a Reinhart fan but I don't miss him one bit..Mainly because it netted us Levi and Kulich and out Offense did not suffer

I as well but it still cost them 2 solid players. Whether we miss them or not we learn from those mistakes.

Show me any proof I wanted him gone or thought he was a bad goalie?

Thats what I thought. You go dig through the old posts.

You can say that, hindsight goes both ways. A little respect shown and maybe he doesn't price himself out the door.

Its cool.. I get your frustration, I am too. Like I said, I wish we had a goalie with Ullmark stats but we dont..

I'm just saying the vast majority of us did not want to sign him for 6m a year. Me included.

Now if I or the Sabres Management knew he would be the best in the NHL don't you think we would have happily signed him? his numbers with us were not that great, thats why we did not want to pay him...

👍

Appreciate the insight.

Could be a good rental and asset. Maybe get a 2nd to help dampen the blow of the noncondional conditional 1st rounder that goes away regardless of position in the standings.
