You are clueless. Ullmark was above average on awful teams here its not even a debate

Still waiting for how many wins you think 6K gets since you said ruff will make this team good or much better. He had 27 wins last season in case you needed a reminder

UPL has way too many flaws in his game. I get that the very small difference the average fan like yourself can’t see.

It’s okay that you don’t understand.

ullmarks last 2 seasons as a sabre

2.65 gaa .916 save percentage

ryan miller career as a sabre

2.60 gaa .916 save percentage

- homiedclown


Miller is the better goalie. His movements, goalie technique, his hockey IQ, and so on. Miller was excellent with anticipation and playing his angles.

Upl once or twice a game gets completely out of place and lost.

Watch the pass across goals on him. He can’t read the play.

The easiest comparison is Levi vs upl. It’s night and day on goalie technique and being able to read the play.

Also playing the angles. Upl even by 3-6 inches is off and other teams snip

Levi plays bigger in net at 5’11 then upl does at 6’5.

Absolutely not.

He’s 32 and next year age 33 has a 44 million dollar cap hit.

Beane didn’t just clear out all that cap space just to give it to Adams next year

- Sabretooth9

His last 2 years aren't Guaranteed, there's a out after this Year. So No the Bills would not be on hook for 44mill

So idk what to believe

Interesting Albert Breer is reporting the Bills have reached out to the Raiders about Adams.

Definitely ways to adjust it, and if they get him by Nov 5th the actual money owed is only 8.5mill. So Elam goes back and Buffalo has there Cap space

Nice, a non answer. 6K cleaned alot of his flaws up last season. Someone with such a keen eye should have seen that no?

Your below average ability to assess goaltending was on display again when you said ullmark was average here

So again, how many wins for 6K?

So I don't follow the NFL Cap too much, but would the Raiders want Elam?
I heard this am on wgr the asking price is a 2nd and they aren't high on retaining.

I suspect if Beaner is serious, and the ask is for Pick nor player, then he would need to rework some Contracts to open the necessary space.
Is that an accurate assessment?

Meh, him not showing up for his physical is what gave them the opening. They're a poopty franchise for how they treat their players, which will catch up with them, but they just got lucky on this one.

Paying him and not having it count against the cap breaks all the rules. Not a good precedent to set. Other teams should be complaining.

Either pay him and count it or he broke the rules and the contract is void. There's no grey area here.
Only in the NHL.

"Sources told Daily Faceoff the final year of injured goaltender Robin Lehner’s $25 million contract will not count against the Golden Knights’ salary cap this season after a settlement was reached between the Golden Knights, NHL and NHL Players’ Association. Lehner was in violation of his contract when he failed to report for a mandatory medical exam to open training camp; Lehner previously made the Golden Knights aware he was unable to report for personal reasons"

Lindy Ruff on the Zucker-McLeod-Greenway line:

"We've got a couple guys that are really good defenders with good speed, like Greenway, obviously McLeod. Zuck is a good skater too and has speed. I really feel that the offensive part will fall into place. I've like the way they've played."


Lance Lysowski
@LLysowski
Jordan Greenway has really impressed Ruff.

Showing effort on every play. Backchecking in situations where a veteran may let up because it's a preseason or exhibition game that doesn't matter.

"I love his game. His game fits the way we want to play."

That's likely the agreement between the team and NHLPA, I'd guess. Purely speculation, but Lehner ran the risk of breaching contract, so that may be the happy medium for him.

IF that occurred, then Vegas deserves massive penalties...like several 1sts lost type of thing. The issue is proving it.

From what I understand there's no point to LTIR for him anymore. They're off the hook.

Lol this was so predictable and makes it clear that kulich doesn't have a shot at making the team and will need to wait for injury
