UPL's best stretch was 4 games in which he posted a 0.92sv%, if you really want you could push that out to a 6 game stretch where he averages a 0.919sv% although that has a 0.893sv% in it so up to you. Outside of that there was really only 1 other time last year where UPL put together more than 2 good games in a row. That was 4 good games. He has approximately 12 games I would call good in which he has a sv% no lower than 0.909. He has 11 games though where his sv% is 0.875 or lower. He is wildly inconsistent and played a lot of games not so well. Out of those 11 bad games, the Sabres still won 4 due to goal support. If you think he is going to be the 12 games of good more often this year you keep him. If you think he will be the 11 bad games more often this year, you dump him.

He's a 4/5 type of defender. He's better jokiharju

What are his strengths? Weaknesses? His agility and positioning are strengths. He plays a solid dependable game. Weakness, he isn't very flashy offensively but plays more of a simple straight forward game. Is he a good skater/fast skater? He is an exceptionally good skater. His top end speed is above average but his agility is very very good. He is hard to get off base because he has quick feet and acceleration Is he good positionally? He is very good positionally and always tries to be supportive on defense or engaging to end rushes. I think positioning is a strength for him. Does he hit a lot, or is he a guy more concerned about positioning and will not make some hits to maintain positioning? He is not a big hitter but will engage along walls physically. He doesn't really need to hit to be effective with how he plays. Win more battles on the boards/for loose pucks? He should yes, much better than Bryson. How is his first pass out of the zone. Good, he knows where to go with the puck and how to open the lane (with his skating) to fire it up. Is he a guy who's PROBABLY ceiling is closer to a 5goal, 20 assist guy or a 15 goal, 40 assist guy. 5g, 20a guy.

You might but Adams doesn't and IMPO this is like swapping Comrie for slightly worse Comrie. He spent almost all of 2020, 2021, 2022 in the AHL. Not interested. Since 2019, he has only played a whopping 20 total NHL games.

They deserve a hard practice. Bunch of lazy bums last night. Frustrating part was when they started skating, Sabres easily controlled play.

Never seems to bother Levi.

The Sabres played like garbage and they should feel bad. Benson had lots of good, but a little bad. Mittelstadt... uhh played the game? Peterka had some moments. Dahlin looked solid. Power was 50/50 Olofsson... I got nothing. He had 1 nice shot I remember. Rest were meh. Lots of meh

Yuck. Lol no he doesn't. 4-3 cbj off Fantilli goal

Could be a fun race.

His processing speed is unreal. Immediately adjusts

Zach Benson... bad pass Also Benson, immediately stops the rush from his bad pass

Benson with 5pts in 5 preseason games 3-3 game with goals from Power, Zemgus, and Benson

Rut-roh raggy, Sabres are starting to skate

Zack Benson gives 0 f##ks.

How tf do you miss the net there?!

Benson gets called for hooking.

3-2 cbj with 430 left in the 2nd

Wow, back to back nice shifts! In this economy!?

Hey! A good shift and Power scores

They look like trash. Hot,stanky,trash.

Idk what you're arguing here. Mitts coasted back, I didn't like it.

Mitts was at center ice and just disconnected controller back. Tuch was bad too because he didn't front his man.

I've seen zombies skate harder than Buffalo is right now. Lots of puck watching.

Benson looks like Benson
