Based on todays performance, why the hell would Anaheim want UPL

Gibson has been declining for FIVE YEARS now
Plus he’s 30 & not getting younger, Plus he has a bad contract, plus you’re overpaying for him
Bad idea imo

Kadri is an interesting idea
Like u said though, might not be able to get him to waive to come here
And he is a bit old
But we could obviously use a 2way Center like that
I just worry that we’d use him so heavily defensively that it would take too much away from he offense & he’d end up being massively overpaid with us
Interesting idea though

Based on today's performance Dylan cozens will have 164 points.

Great point tho!

He just stole that game today for the Ducks. We would be a lot closer to a playoff spot if we had gotten what Gibson did to us earlier in the Season.

Devils advocate here. The Sabres tend to make a lot of goalies look good. I don't hate the idea, but since he's making 6m per, I'm not overpaying to acquire him. For me it would totally depend on the cost to get him. I'd rather spend resources on the skaters in front of the goalie. Look at how well the Sabres have played since the first of the year- they've cut down on a lot of the high danger nonsense, and lo and behold upl looks like a good goalie. Unfortunately, I still think we gotta swap out players because this attention to detail defensively is killing the offense. I guess with this build that they HAVE to score off the rush, because if the other team is set up, they will just fire shots from the 3 point line with nobody in front. My 2 cents, not sure it's even worth that though.

Oh I don't want Gibson, they need to fix other Areas. But he would have helped in the beginning of the Year.

If it’s just one game, I thought Gibson was overrated then? Wouldn’t you rather keep you’re elite future superstar goalie then????

Do we have a sighting, hope all is well!

Good grief

Of their many issues, being soft is like 12th biggest.

I guess if one were to only look at the stats and read 4 goals on 15 shots it appears Luukkonen played poorly.
Watching the replay of the goals will tell a different story.
Erik Johnson misses passing cross ice to a wide open Ryan Johnson, loses a puck battle to Johnston which led to a wide open Henrique in the high slot for an easy goal.
Erik Johnson, again, fails to tie up the stick of Vatrano that led to the easiest goal Frank will ever score.
Erick Johnson, opps again, has a horrible turnover at the blue line leaving Ryan Johnson to defend against McTavish and Vatrano has another easy goal into an open net.
The fourth goal Luukkonen should have saved even though Ryan Johnson and Cliffton allowed Terry to skate to the front of the net.
It was difficult to watch Johnson play so poorly, Luukkonen was not the reason the Sabres lost the game, terrible turnovers and poor defensive play left him out to dry too many times.
