I like both guys as backup. Ullmark is young and improving. Hutton is serviceable and passionate despite his recent woes. Haseks don't grow on trees. I can't lay this on Botts.
Murray had no objectivity regarding Lehner and damaged the Sabres as a result. He sure didn't help Lehner either and that could have turned out much worse. The best opportunity to improve our goalie situation was a few years back but Murray, as usual, decided he was smarter than everyone else. Yes Botts wanting to wait 100 years for the goalie with the 100 letter name is frustrating but I'm not sure he had better options than Hutton/Ullmark in the immediate term. Don't get me wrong, I have no real confidence that he'd do the right thing if he had a chance, I'm just not sure he has had one.
Perhaps you're not aware that this team gained valuable playoff experience in the World Juniors.
