One recent outlet listed the Buffalo Sabres as a team that should try to acquire John Gibson of the Anaheim Ducks. But that would be an ill-fated move.
This past season, Buffalo Sabres rookie goaltender Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen toiled through his fair share of struggles. The result was an 0.891 save percentage, a 3.61 GAA, and a quality starts percentage of 0.406.
The upside, however, is that Luukkonen had a nice productive streak between mid-December and throughout January, before tailing off. He’s only 24 and he has just 45 starts in his young career.
