I’m willing to give this tandem 2 more years while we improve the roster and team defence.What is your opinion on our goaltending? Would the playoff picture be different if it was better? Although Hutton and Ullmark are a big improvement over last season I don't think they're good enough. UPL is still a few years away. Should we look to upgrade or hope they improve? Ullmark should have some upside. I think this team is always going to give up a lot of scoring chances playing the Housley style.
Hutton is what he is. If you play a great team game in front of him, he can be your everyday goalie. But we aren’t there as a team yet(in terms of playing a great team game every game) and he’s being exposed of that.
Ullmark has it in him to be a guy that can steal games when the team doesn’t have it. But he’s a first year full time NHLer so I’d like to see how he develops with Hutton tutoring him for 2 more years. Then bring in a true back up for Ullmark(if he’s shown growth and looks capable) and let UPL slow cook.
