why is Ullmark out?

Why would VGK ever touch that trade?

Vegas says no.

They aren’t taking on cap space if retaining.

Personal reasons

Cap would be even

I understand that what I mean is there not retaining and bringing money back

I only gave them Hutton so they werent stuck with Dansk, that can be adjusted

lol I can't believe Kruger was trying to blame Provorov for that collision with Hutton... clearly the Buffalo D's fault for shoving him in. I think it was Montour right?

That would make more sense. And they wouldn’t count it as stuck they like Dansk.

This is a team that needs cap savings because They have Cody glass on the taxi squad right now to manipulate the cap.

100% Montour's fault, I think Krueger was still heated from Aubé-Kubel punching Dahlin in the face, but theirs no way I can blame Provorov

not only is the cap even, but all the sabres players are expiring and both vegas players arent.

I saw/get that. I understand. But they need space this season. They don’t make an “even money” trade with retention.

Like I mentioned, they can’t even get Glass to the NHL squad because they are so close. When they played Glass, they had go with 5 dmen.

They won’t retain and bring back money, if there is no savings at all this year.

then immediately waive hutton. saves 1.8 million

IMO the Sabres should just play out the year, and next summer especially with the expansion draft, their will be goalies available for the Sabres...Don't trade for Fleury (who might M NTC might block the trade anyways).
Could be long winter for Sabres and their fans with Fleury or with him. For Buffalo fans.....hope the Bills are playing in February,

Just easier to pass on the deal. Because McNabb > Montour too at this point also.

But all that aside, better to tell Buffalo to waive Hutton and save the money if they are going to move on from McNabb as well.

The Sabres starter currently is Jonas Johansson, an AHL starter who had an awful camp, theyre not playing out the year with him its like playing with an EBUG

we arent trying to save money, we are trying to find a goalie because ours is likely opting out.

sabres have played well and i think will compete.

got awful goaltending in game 1 and had game 4 stolen from them by elliott. not punting on this year.

1st game should just be forgotten, no one was going. the 2 last goals against Hutton were awful plays by the skaters in front of him, take those 2 away, they at least go to OT

Vegas is trying to save money though. They don’t want a true even money deal this year. They want some flexibility.

(Also I’m from WNY originally and follow the Sabres as well. I am aware of the Ullmark situation)
