[Artorius Horus T]

+ recorded an assist on TPS 1-2 goal (secondary)

UPL gonna be the answer to both our goaltending and secondary scoring problems, confirmed.

 

[Doug Prishpreed]

Maybe I’m reading into things too much but it sounded like Ralph was implying in his interview today that 6K could be an option this season, if we don’t find an upgrade and if Hutton/Ullmark struggle. Since the season is starting so late and since Luukkonen is getting early work in, it sounded like it would be a greater possibility to join the Sabres than under normal circumstances.

As usual, all these lists are bullshit

 

[DaJackal]

Deal with TPS extended until 18 Dec.

 

[RasmWristshotlainen]

Was a little frustrated about the first penalty for TPS yesterday. Didn't ruin his night with 31 saves in a 2-1 win over Kookoo. Really see this guy as a starter for the Sabres in a couple of years. Looking forward to see him in royal blue!

 

[FromChaos22]

Looks like he played b2b

I would put UPL between Knight and Oettinger in my top 5. It's all based on preference really.

The Athletic is a good publication but its forecasts are just clickbait and crapshoot.

If Per Djoos doesn’t win it all, this is rigged!

Mitts at 1 should make this board never care about lists like this again lol.

This didn't age that well. Reported today that the loan has ended but return to TPS is not out of the question. Well kind of..

My hunch: AHL doesnt start = TPS.

Oh and the source with translation: contract with TPS has ended on today. Extention is not out of the question. We will inform when there is something to inform (roughly).

they didn't predict that BUF manages to screw up his development in the worst possible way until they sent him down last season.
This kid would have needed a strong hand in how to prepare. I hope they fired all the player development staff with Big head.
I mean there is not much to talk they didn't do anything right.

TPS has some of the very best goaltending coaches and and goaltending system in the world. His development would have been so safe there.

Let's see him get some NHL time this year. Goaltending can't get worse.

I hope he really starts off on fire for the Amerks. Him becoming an option later this season would be awesome

I bet they won't even try him in Buffalo. We are happy to play Hutton and lose because we are paying him

Please don't use reality to kill my happy thoughts about UPL.
