Description

on http://moneypuck.com you can see the sabres play a very dull style of hockey and limit opponents chances but also don't generate many. The problem is Ullmark and Hutton are both negative and are near the bottom of the league in save % above expected. Scoring is still a problem but imo trading for a better goalie and playing to their strength (dull hockey) could help them a lot in the short term. If they trade for a good goalie and stay relatively healthy they could have a real shot at staying in the race and maybe sneaking in a wild card spot.

Arizona would (rightly) ask for Hutton in the package they'd receive from Buffalo

I was a lehner fan but idk if he'd be as good as he is now if he was still in BUF. A fresh start was the right thing for him and I'm glad he's playing well
