How Kevyn Adams EVER thought the goaltending was fine baffles my mind. Maybe he thought the Sabres were gonna score 6 or 7 every night, because that's the only chance they have of winning a game with these sieves.

Ullmark is a top 15 GAA.  Hutton is a serviceable veteran and spot starter.  Johansson is AHL level goalie.  Trying to win with Johansson is a tall order.  Young guy is not ready for the NHL.

Sabres are playing better hockey minus goaltending IMO

They might have been better this year if Jack had been healthy for a single game. They certainly aren't any worse without broken Jack.

Ullmark was injured last season, Hutton was injured (eye) last season, and we saw JJ wasn't ready. And we spent the offseason bolstering our offense in Staal and Hall. That's good. But you can't ignore the single most important player on the ice game in/game out.

Hutton is a terrible goalie.  Not serviceable in any manner.  Last year he lost 10 in a row.  This year he is likely to match that.

Irwin checks all of the RaKru boxes:

Slow

Low percentage point shots

Possession goes to die

He DID have that sweet stretch pass off the boards to spring Skinner. 

In Ralph’s eyes, that may have earned a starting spot with top minutes for every game going forward.

He was trying to ice the puck. He missed that badly

I see him as a spot starter against a lower tier opponent.  Maybe 12-15 games a season.  Ride Ullmark the rest of the time.   

Depends on if Uhlmark can be sharp for 67+ games.  Buffalo has a lot of back to back games.  They need a backup that can give them 20-25 games.
