    Ullmark re-ups with the Sabres

    It's a 2 year deal with an AVV of $750K.

    So endeth the fantasy that he'll be heading to Las Vegas.

    Why? They still need to expose a goalie

        That's true, but consider who else is out there: Marc-Andre Fleury. Antti Raanta. James Reimer. Phillip Grubauer. Jaroslav Halak. Among others.

        If you're Vegas, do you consider selecting one or more of these experienced goalies....or Ullmark?

          Most expansion teams take at least three goalies and if I'm Las Vegas I eye Fleury, Reimer and Ullmark as give you a proven winner, a guy who can play in this league as a backup/starter then a young guy with something to prove. I'm more concerned we haven't signed Petersen yet.

            I agree with Jokeman but if I'm Vegas, I'm eyeing Zatkoff as my backup and then Malcolm Subban as the young guy with something to prove. Fleury to the Knights is almost a foregone conclusion at this point, imo.

            Unless there are talks between Botterill and McPhee for the Sabres to give up some compensation for the Knights helping them out by taking Moulson, Bogo, or Gorges off their hands. I'd say William Carrier makes the most sense for the Knights to take.

            Ullmark is pretty safe.

                Sub Raanta for Ullmark and I can buy that. Antti is relatively inexpensive, still in his prime and at times outdid The King(Lundqvist)between the pipes. Grubauer could work as well; he'll likely NEVER pass Holtby on the Caps' depth chart. Why not give him the opportunity to start in Vegas?

                  Petersen is probably going to free agency. He had a really good relationship with Murray, but....

                    I wouldn't put it past them to take 4 goalies and try to flip one. They get to take 30 guys but a roster isn't that big.

                      I stand by my contention, Carrier makes the most sense for the Knights barring any deal between Botterill and McPhee.

                        And it will NOT surprise me one bit to find out that that's exactly what is happening(regarding the last part of your post).

                          Yep - it's quite possible that was how they are protecting Ullmark.

                          Which sucks - losing one of the clunker contracts (Bogosian or Moulson) would have been nice
