Re: Lalime re-signed with one year contract
Fine by me.
Don't think he is any worse than Biron who everyone licks so hard.Comment

Re: Lalime re-signed with one year contract
The deal is only 600K, which is a nice deal cap wise.Comment

Re: Lalime re-signed with one year contract
No problem with the deal...I have a problem with him not being able to win a game.Originally posted by RockStar36Comment

Re: Lalime re-signed with one year contract
He was decent from time to time, but I definitely don't have a ton of confidence in him.Originally posted by Nighthawk
I bet he'd be better if he got more playing time, although that is doubtful with the way he's been handled for the past two seasons.Comment

Re: Lalime re-signed with one year contract
As if there was any doubt.
And IMO he's a fine back-up - he just needs to play more (which has been the story with our back-up goaltenders for a few seasons now, Lindy).Last edited by DMBcrew36; 07-07-2010, 07:53 PM.Comment

Re: Lalime re-signed with one year contract
I wish I could get $600K to play goalie once per week and lose.

Re: Lalime re-signed with one year contract
I just hope it's a 2-way deal. I'd rather see Enroth....Rob

Re: Lalime re-signed with one year contract
at $600k, it's a pretty good deal. you test him out a little, and then you keep an eye on enroth. if he shows that he's ready for the jump, around all star week, you let him make the jump while miller dazzles at the all star game.
If he takes, then lalime is really just a practice goalie and insurance. you already know no one will touch him as free agency has shown. So you could send him to the minors if he needs to play.
and if enroth isn't ready, then lalime plays the 12-15 games a year spread out, he losses most, and miller is forced to play a long season like he has the last couple years anyways.Comment

This is what scares me.Originally posted by trapezeus
We've used this strategy the last two years, with disappointing results. Granted, the Sabres' problems go beyond backup goaltending, but don't make me bust out the cliche about doing the same thing and expecting different results.
Changes are needed, and the changes that have been made are insufficient in both quantity and quality.Comment

Re: Lalime re-signed with one year contract
I can agree that changes are needed, but I don't believe backup goalie was one of them. Lindy doesn't know how to use a back up. He runs his starters into the ground. No goalie can be sharp if they play only 1 game every two weeks.Originally posted by OpIv37
We need to get rid of Connolly and Stafford. Two heartless bums. Problem is that other teams have scouts that realize they are heartless bums. I am so dissapointed in both those guys. Both have so much talent I don't get how they dissapear for such long stretches.Comment

Re: Lalime re-signed with one year contract
Plus if you haven't read or heard, Miller and Lalime are good friends and get along very well. That probably counted for something as well.Comment
