completely reasonable price to pay for a goalie. Must have been Buffalo's assistant GM who made the deal.

And here Come the trades again

[SI90]

Buf loading up on former islanders.

 

[Djp]

We seem to be collecting former NYI players....anyone else out there???

Because long-term starters and short-term backups are the same thing

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Nilsson going to be number 3 ahead of Kasdorf or number 4?

I cant believe we let P.A. Parenteau get away.

 

[Beerz]

Ok...but whats his connection to Jimmy Vesey?

 

[Samsonite23]

For those of you don't know why this trade needed to be made:

Murray stated in an interview that he had a goalie that had committed to the Sabres and then reneged. Said it never had happened to him before. He didn't mention who it was, but based on other comments, we figured out that it was Jeff Zatkoff. So we had to trade for a backup. Kinda weird...

He's backup #2

 

[MMC]

I wish we would've done this. Probably a better backup then Tukka Raski

Yeah.

He reneged for like 50K more

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Zatkoff would have probably gotten more playing time in Buffalo over Los Angeles.

He's backup #2

Heh, I thought Ullmark would get the chance.

 

[Ulic]

I cant believe we let P.A. Parenteau get away.

But think of his value next off season as a twice ex-Islander!

 

[WesMcCauley]

okok

He'll back up Lehner ...allowing Ullmark regular starts in Rochester

If I am correct, Mikko Koskinen is a UFA, he has done pretty good in the KHL

Nothing, but he's Okposos godfather

Zatkoff would have probably gotten more playing time in Buffalo over Los Angeles.

Ullmark needs seasoning and playing time in the AHL

Heh, I thought Ullmark would get the chance.

Actually Ullmark is entering his 3rd yr...you want him playing the main starter in rochester then the primary call up starter to replace an I jure Lehner while Niles son is mainly the back up.

Kasdorf gets called up if it's for a backup role on the team.

Unless Ullmark hits waiver free game total I expect him to be in rochester in 17/18 too. Peterson could join the club in 17/18 from notre dame.

Also having Ullmark in the AHL might hide him from the expansion draft.

Zatkoff would have probably gotten more playing time in Buffalo over Los Angeles.



Heh, I thought Ullmark would get the chance.

Nah, he'll be getting starts in the AHL. Kid needs time still.

Anyway, I guess there's our backup. Hopefully Lehner can stay healthy this season.

It looks like Koskinen signed a two year extension with SKA a couple months back: http://www.ska.ru/en/news/view/ska-prodlil-kontrakt-s-mikko-koskinienom
