Which is why this season, while entertaining is incredibly frustrating.

We ALL saw it the last decade that they needed a solid, proven goalie.

They’re solution was to take a shot on someone with 29 career games

Gave Ullmark a 1 year deal and we've gotten an assortment of bargain guys since. We're supposed to be comforted by a couple others refusing trades?

Now I've think they've learned a lesson, and the draft of Topi shows this, but we're all suffering because for two years the Adams administration undervalued starting goaltender as a position. I'll bet if he had a time machine Adams would pay Linus $7 million for 7 years if he could.

I don't care if it's one year for $10 million. Terry can afford it. Get me a starting goalie next season.

Two AHL goalies and a geriatric. No worries though we will keep a steady rotation during a playoff push to make sure everyone gets their chance

The refs really are trash. Its glaring. Maybe not the reason the sabres can't close a game out but

How do they call that on stillman 30 seconds after skinner no call?

Why does Oshie get to rape Quinn from behind on a zone exit in the 1st period?

Why is the caps feed literally saying there was a hook on the play at the net (I think on quinn?) right before the caps came back down and scored their 3rd goal?

Why are they calling that trash on ovechkin with 3 mins left and the obvious make up call that ended up burning us?

(frank)

Comrie is injured, there's no sending down right now.

Levi has the Sabres by the balls, they are literally bending to please him. An NHL team with an abysmal record in the last decade who did not draft this guy will need to bend for a goalie who is considered one of the best to play his position in college hockey of all time. So no, it's not a joke and it's expected.

- Zschalberg



Allowing a college player who has proven nothing dictate what moves you make is not expected.
It’s asinine. Are you to tell me that the Sabres didn’t want to make a move at goalie to help this year because it sends a bad message to Levi?

Didn’t we all just collectively tell Portillo to (frank) off because he didn’t want to compete for a job?

If Levi just wants to be handed a spot then (frank) him too.

As a ref I’d hope they don’t give a poop what the fans think. They are there to protect players, police the game, and abide by the rules (yes I know they suck at that)

So, now goalie fights arent part of the history of hockey? They arent there to prevent a fight. What douche bag that ref is.

Is Adam’s too nice to call Comrie in and say.

“We’re sending you down, you just haven’t been where we need you ti be”

It appears that way.

Also “they got mad that they were rumored to be in on goalies to not hurt Levi’s feelings”

Is that a (frank)ing joke?

- ImThatGuy


This is misrepresenting what Elliott thinks he knows about the situation. Regardless of the Sabres intentions, if the Sabres told him they want him to play games to end the season, then some information (true or false) slips out and says they're looking for yet another goalie, I don't blame Levi's camp for asking why the Sabres are mixing signals.

This isn't about "feelings". This is about opportunity and what both sides want for the rest of the year.

We know how quiet Kevo's office is. Things simply don't get out. So I have my doubts about how much these insiders know when it comes to who the Sabres want to add in trade or ufa. But they very well could have been irritated at a false report that makes them look two-faced.

From Dregers comments a few minutes ago sounds like Levi is 100% signing just not sure AHL or NHL. His comments were very comforting and he said "based on the conversations the last 30-40 minutes" that he expects it to be done in the next few days.

What is he thinking over...?


- kingcong39


Mentioned korposalo.

I was told the deal was also very close to being done.

Also posted that meier's ask was a 1st, 2nd and 3rd.
Turned out to be chickruns trade return.

It's kinda like the telephone game, things get mixed up 4th hand.....

I could see korposalo as our goalie next year

This won't upset anybody.

I'm not sure if the Sabres should have done this, for that player at that price of upcoming contract.

I am absolutely willing to use this year's 1st round pick which is in all likelihood late lottery. I just think over the summer there may be a guy who could better serve this team at the price.

We have Korpisalo this year and we are firmly in the playoffs.

He’s posting better stats than Mr. Anderson.

And he can actually play more than once every 5th moon phase.

Even a conservative estimation on this would have us in a wildcard spot I bet.
