Sabres aren't just going to give UPL away

Tons of sabres posts offering UPL for just a 4th. I added a 5th. You’re welcome. He isn’t worth a penny more. If you want more, shop him elsewhere.

I think it would depend on our gm getting a legitimate vet goalie to split time with Levi. Of course then it be up to the market to set the price for upl, I don't know if anybody would offer a 3rd, I wouldn't think it would be a ton more than the op. Decent goalies might get a 2nd, upl is uneven, and he's been around long enough that I don't see him as a prospect. Having said all of that, I won't be shocked if our gm rolls out Levi and upl as our goalies, I think adams has been nosing around some other goalies, but the ask has killed any chance of a trade.

I'd very much have interest in Kahkonen, but then the 3 goalie thing comes into place. Goalie swaps seem to be the only way of doing things now, unless you're dumping one. So if it's Mtl, Allen goes to SJ. In Oilers fan fantasy it's Kahkonen packaged with EK for Campbell plus plus plus plus...

I’d swap UPL and Kahkonen 1for1. Change of scenery perhaps.

Allen fits our timeline less than Kahkonen even.

he'd have negative value while Kahkonen has positive. Sell high, take the placeholder type deal

I can see moving Kahkonen for a 3rd or 4th to boost draft capital this year and maybe taking a cap dump like Murray as a 1 year stopgap for even more draft capital. Makiniemi is likely getting a shot at the NHL this year.

I don’t think the Sharks liked that Kaapo went outside of the organization for developmental help during the break, ignoring Nabokov and Speer. I think for this reason combined with his poor numbers means Kaapo is definitely gone this summer. Lets see.

it'll be interesting considering the current goalie market

True. Adin Hill is an average goalie, put him behind a rock solid team defense and go on a hot streak and he’s in the running for a Conn Smythe. Teams have to be thinking, do we really need to spend 5 million for a goalie?

That's a package that Tampa Bay would certainly consider. Both Ferraro and Gregor play a style that would fit in well in Tampa.

Sharks probably want to sign Colton though. If Sharks don't, another team will for sure!

This was mostly about trades not contracts. Plenty of cap left to sign Colton

The best I can do is a fifth round pick for Mario Ferraro and 50% retention
