Salut les amis, eh bien Adams a fait une énorme affaire avec cette signature alors que la poussière continue de retomber sur ce que sera notre effectif cette saison.

2X3.5 would have set us up for 3 X 8.5. He’s going to dominate and we are going to compete for the division
Totally fine, now if Adam’s goes and gets a 5-8 million dollar player the puzzle will be complete.
Really hoping for a lot of these young players to have break-out seasons again or for the first time for our goal-scoring though.
Quinn, Benson, JJ, Cozens, and even TT and Tuch need to have good to amazing years for us to get the goal production we need to make the play-offs.
Hopefully all the grit added to the team gives them more confidence to be more aggressive / physical in the offensive zone, we can only hope.
I congratulate both sides and not creating drama. UPL didn't steal from his teammates. GMKA didn't cheat the future. Levi is still the future. Look how long it took UPL to get to this point. He's still small, his focus on the puck is incredible. Watch him… Go Sabres… Go Bills…
I met Barrasso when I was a kid, & the dude was an "asso"…
Not what I expected from him.
I'd sign Krebs for 2 yrs, & see if he'll be a late bloomer.
If not, then trade him.
I think that with this signing there's a reasonable chance Sabres makes the playoffs within the next five years at least once.
Levi still has a lot to prove…
I think it's a small overpay but if he plays like he did last year it'll be fine
Bite your tongue about trading Levi. Don't even go there. Levi will be in the nets for Buffalo when we win the cup make no mistake. I'm 60 years old I've played goal and coached goalies. UPL is not going to beat out Levi in the long run so what will you do when Levi wants a contract and you have two goalies your paying over 10 million for ? I don't think a 5 year deal was the best for the team.
I'm glad Adams came to his senses and got these two guys signed!
Great contract for both sides. Sabres provided a fair contract based on a one year performance which was incredible due to the under performing team around him. Let be honest the production from numerous players could have had most goalies throwing in the towel. UPL in my opinion became a leader in the clubhouse and a co-caption candidate for this year team. UPL could have drag this out for more money but he didn't. Sabres are in a great position with two goalies with fire in their bellies. For UPL this shows to me that he is ready and willing to lead the Sabres to the promise land.
Sabres have satisfied most if not all of the issues outside of playing hockey. Ruff was hired to fix though issues. Sabres now have a can do coach with a can do goalie. I looked forward to the upcoming season to see a team unlocking their potential. Go Sabres.
You guys remember Jim Carey and Olaf Kolzig story back from the 90 ' ?
It reminds me Levi and UPL – Levi a golden child whereas UPL earned his starter job the hard way.
I would not be entirely surprised if Levi actually didn't pan out and Luukonnen became a solid no 1 for years to come, I guess the time will tell.
Always a Gamble
His tactics have changed. Before he chased the puck leading to bad goals. Now he’s staying more in his net and results are showing in spades. UPL will be just fine.
If UPL and Levi turn into a Swayman Ullmark situation for the Sabres. You could trade UPL for a 1st. So you would get a ton of value if both our Goalies turn out to be very good and with this contract we are in a very good situation if that happens.
Great contract !! A steal. Gives us room to make more moves if we need to
Upl SUCKS ASS
cozens problem last year was he was forced to be an enforcer. That's not his role…. hopefully the additions in the bottom 6 fix this.
I like the UPL contract. It can be moved as others have pointed out. I still think the Sabre's think Levi is going to be the #1 in a few years. Hopefully this has them set in net for years to come.
If UPL can replicate the post Christmas form he showed this wilbe a solid deal, remember his stats were hurt by how often Granato left him in during blowouts. If Levi performs a similar trick then Buffalo will be in an envious position, probably the best duo since Miller/Biron or even when Hasek/Fuhr won the Jennings. It's a positive move for me and fills me with genuine hope for the season. 😊
Why do we "NEED" to get Levi locked in next year or earlier? He's done absolutely nothing, proven nothing. You have gone on about how they can't commit to UPL and overpay him but with Levi they have to immediately lock him in before he's played even one season as a backup in the NHL.
I said in a comment a while ago I’d like to see UPL between 4-5M and while he falls on the high end of that I still feel great about this contract.
Don't forget that Adams has brought in an almost totally new bottom six group of players who are much more physical and defensively minded! The goalies will have a much easier time stopping the pucks that do reach them because there most likely won't be as many as there were last season. The penalty kill alone should be vastly improved. Now the only real question left for me is who is Ruff going to name as the new Team Captain? It's either Dahlin or Tuch, and I'd vote for Dahlin!
