Speculation: Is there a goalie out there that can help the Sabres?

[Jacob582]

If last nights game was any indication that potential 4 headed monster in Dallas may be back down to 3. Bishop looked rough, but he is trying to shake off 2 years of rust so we'll see how he looks in his next 2 starts.

Wow, that's rusty.
8.20 GAA, .765 SV%

Chicago was a good test. Fourth best record in the league (.762 PCT)

Also,
CJ Smith with a hat trick
Poturalski with a goal and 3 assists.

I think he needs the benefit of the doubt after being out of the game for so long.

But i wonder if his poor play might make Dallas panic into moving him at a higher cost? I'm not up to speed with their cap crunch - but if potentially they made Bishop plus a decent pick available, I'd happily send Dell the other way. Worst case - we get an equally bad goalie but an extra asset to use this summer.

I agree. Francouz for example had a rough first game on his conditioning stint allowing 3 goals on 18 shots.

We are not getting Holtby. If they move him there are competitive teams (Colorado, Edmonton) who would give up a lot more to get him.

Bishop might be available but he will be hard to fit within the top team's salary cap. And will be waive to come to a team with cap space, like Buffalo?

First game back after two years, I'd give him the benefit of working back into the game. From what I saw, he was having trouble locating pucks early on, and then as the game went on, his lateral movement was off. Let see how he does as time goes on.

NJ is down to 2 goalies now.

Blackwood
Schmid

Wedgewood - lost to waivers
Bernier - sounds like his hip has been bothering him all season. Out long term.
Daws- hurt last night vs. Rochester. Out long term?

(I wanted Buffalo to sign Bernier)

There are plenty of goalies out there who can help the Sabres. Will they get one of those goalies? NO

I agree. There are about 45 goalies out there that can help the Sabres. They are all under contract to another team and not available.

It looked like he had a time getting up and down as well, as one would expect.

Still take him over Dell, even rusty as he seems.

 

[Nikolajs Sillers]

Forget Ben Bishop. Nill said that he is done

Sad way to go. Everyone SHOULD be able to go out on their own terms, but life doesn’t work that way

 

[oldgoalie]

that really sucks. I hope retirement is good to him.

Are you one of Pegula's kids ? You make the same post over and over.

Why didn't KA move for Nedeljkovic in the off season instead of a line of bums when he got snookered by Ullmark? Because Yzerman is smart and got him.

A couple of Pegula kids are pretty damn attractive. Just not the famous one

The goalie we are playing tonight was selected by Seattle and got traded for a 2022 2nd. We have 2 of those, both of which would be higher than the capitals pick. Adin Hill got moved for a 2022 2nd.

Buffalo had ample opportunities to fix the goaltending position. They opted to go for the cheapest option possible.

 

[Ralonzo]

Well Portillo just let in 3 in less than minute, so…

 

[Chainshot]

Perhaps it is Luukkonen. He has been better than I expected.

Still , do you want him up here and being 4-12-2 for ie by next year ?

Why not? Wins and losses don't quantity performance and growth for the kids this year

If he keeps teams at 2 goals per game, yes. I expect him to get lit up soon, but that’s generally a score that should result in more wins than losses

Hey, l00k, two ex-Sabres.

Just a reminder for people that seem to want to rush Levi.
