He has to be better than Dell. Just need someone else that can play in the NHL other than Tokarski. Dell is beyond awful.
Confirmed Trade: [BUF/CHI] Malcolm Subban for future considerations
- Thread starter 5cotland
- Start date
Not exactly what I had in mind, but hopefully Subban finds lightning in a bottle rather than just fishing pucks from his net. Not expecting it...
They got ol' future considerations back from the Isles when they took on Boychuk's contract.

Because Dell is AWFUL. Single handedly cost them a couple of games this year. Of course, Subban isn't good, either, but hopefully he isn't Dell bad.

sincerety
but the thing is, he doesnt suck either thou...
at best, he is a good NHL goalie, bad day, can't catch a beach ball
Other than his first year with Vegas, he has not exactly been good. Even this year in the AHL his numbers are far from good.
The Fleury acquisition didn’t screw him over, his play did. He’s at best an organizational # 3.

It really sounds wrong and hard to actually call Dell a "goalie."
WELCOME TO BUFFALO, MALCOLM.
Eh, it allows them to keep Luukkonen in place in the AHL with someone as his partner who has NHL experience (Dell). It also probably gives Tokarski a bit of a break since they're riding him hard and putting him away wet right now... and he's fracturing under the workload.
No one is expecting miracles, it simply fits their stated goals of letting the younger players develop instead of rushing them immediately into the fire. If this was the Murray or Botterill tenure, UPL would probably already have been thrown to the wolves rather than staying down in the A to work on his game.

Surprisingly, he won the backup job out of camp and looked okay up until his workload increased lately. Dell likely gets sent back to the AHL since he's struggled mightily on this recall.

Dell AINEC. Tokarski has been mostly competent for Buffalo. I'm not sure Dell has been better than a shooter tutor.

They received special amnesty from the league and player’s union, all they had to do was send them some footage of Will Butcher’s play.

If you ignore that absolute stinker of a game against Grand Rapids, his save % is actually just fine.
And as Sabres fans have said above: Dell isn't good. At all. All we want/need is a goalie that stops the vast majority of the shots he should. Anderson did that and more. Tokarski generally does that. Dell did..................not.
