clintwestwood Posted January 13, 2016 Report Posted January 13, 2016 Ullmark has really blown me away. I think when he develops his game just a bit in Rochester he can come in a crush the NHL. I'll be looking for him to challenge Lehner next year. Quote

I'll be looking for him to challenge Lehner next year. Will be very interesting to see how GMTM handles this. If Lehner struggles, what does he do? How attached to Lehner is he? Is he willing to move him if it looks like Ullmark is the long term answer? Or does he move Ullmark as part of a larger deal while his stock is high? Or does he bury him the AHL for a few seasons so long as Lehner is healthy? Quote

Im pretty sure the believe in Lehner is big within this franchise, and the right thing to do by that is most likely to move Ullmark to AHL, to sculpture him into this franchise future goalie. But, i do agree, it must certainly be frustrating to make this decision, but Ullmark is cheap, and Chad has 1 way contract, moneywise the decision is easy, game wise, not so easy.

Then during the offseason GMTM makes his choice about our goalie of the future and the other guy gets traded when his stock is at an all time high. I wouldn't be mad about Lehner being traded after using a 1st rounder as long as we get good value. I think one of those guys has to be our future #1, with CJ has a very competent backup. But from what I've seen of Lehner and Ullmark I like Linus' upside way more at this point. Quote

This guy has been very unlucky with injurys, other than that, he is an superb goalie if given the chance, i thought he was great when he was in Ottawa, basicly same situation like Ullmark in Buffalo, got called up and played like a boss. If Robin Lehner gets to be free of injurys, then he will most likely provide good games for us. Interesting thoughts/scenario though! Quote
MODO Hockey Posted January 15, 2016 Report Posted January 15, 2016 Good luck in R.A. Thank you for this season! :D Quote
LGR4GM Posted January 15, 2016 Author Report Posted January 15, 2016 Linus Ullmark will be back. I still believe he is the goalie on our cup winning team. I have been supporting him for almost 4 years now and I see no reason to stop. Next year we will have a hell of a goalie battle if Lehner gets up to speed. My money though, is on Ullmark. Quote
WildCard Posted January 15, 2016 Report Posted January 15, 2016 I get to watch Ullmark in Rochester tonight, not a bad night Quote

dudacek Posted January 16, 2016 Report Posted January 16, 2016 GMTM with some pretty blunt words of praise for Linus He called him a big athletic goalie with the potential to be a top 10 starter in the NHL. (a bit past the four-minute mark) http://media.wgr550.com/a/112574351/1-15-tim-murray-with-schopp-and-the-bulldog.htm Quote
WildCard Posted January 16, 2016 Report Posted January 16, 2016 Watching the game live WC! :) I wish we had a better performance for you :( Rochester is just...dumb? I don't know. They dominated large chunks of that game, and received every look you could ask for. But every single play they shot when they should have passed, and passed when they clearly should have shot. A very frustrating game. That and watching the slow, glacial crawl that is Kaleta into retirement was just sad. At least 2, maybe 3 (drunk by the 4th goal), weren't UIlmark's fault. The clearest fault I saw he made was a huge, juicy rebound into the slot. Other than that, the defense didn't clear his crease for him. I think that, and probably being hugely disappointed with being sent down, was a poor night for Ullmark Quote

Hope this team can perform a lil better with his help in the future, gaining some trust in that they have Ullmark in goal. I just hope they wont destroy his confidence. Quote
