It’s a FACT that Sam hit the weight room when he got sent back to Juniors
Idk what you’re talking about

- jdfitz77


It's a FACT that he gets pushed around and knocked over. He needs to continue to get stronger to compete with men. He's not a boy any longer. He's 22 and a small man.

We're you at the weight room spotting him?

It's late for like 75% of the population.

This is the first or second year on NBCSN. It started on HBO, then went to Flix or some poop and now it's NBCSN.

Huh?
The only guy Botts drafted who MIGHT be ready next year is Mittelstadt

- jdfitz77


We only had one pick last June? That's odd and not FACTUAL!

Good point Boss. He does seem like a kid out there. Really think he doesn't take off for a couple years yet . Still worth signing and having him for a few when it happens.
sign him cheap for 5 yrs and go from there. He isn't a slug on the ice and he will improve .

I hope.

Well that’s a different point than what I was referencing,
but sure... Sam should still be in the weight room

It’s extremely well know that he was very dedicated in the weight room when he got sent back to juniors

Breaking Bad was garbage just like The Sopranos.

Melodramatic, gangster bull-poop.

The Wire was better than both, and even that show had some awful seasons/episodes.

You with Sam are beginning to sound like me on Jack.
He for sure isn’t a Difference Maker, and is a disappointment from a 2nd overall perspective.
That said, he will be relatively cheap on a bridge deal due to his performance this year.
If he can get back to 20 G and 20-25 A; at say $3.75 - $4.5m, he won’t be a total waste.

My comment was including both rochester and buffalo: they need to make room for his guy's or his type of guy's.

Half of rochester are hired ahl professionals.

Current Scoring leaders for amerks:
Cj smith - gmtm
Sarih Gil baby pen last year
Redmond- brought in for dlo
Ghule- tmgm
Stuart Percy - baby pens last year / 4 years for Marlies
Steve Moses - ahl minor league career
Kevin porter -ahl career and baby pen
Cristocluo - ahl redwings
Colin blackwell- ahl sharks

Getting rid of (non ) prospects needs to happen

Last couple of drafts
Asplund
Pu
Fitzgerald
Marcus Davidson
Will borgen?

Jbotts has a his list, just like tmgm. Guys he knows, IE: wilson

He needs to move guys like fashing, bailey, baptiste. Make room for new blood.

Or

They turn into nhl players. I'm doubting it, hopefully I'm wrong

In fairness bailey is still hurt.. he not played in Rochester since the original call up. And unlike the 19 yr old he has shown he can score in the ahl.

Agreed . They haven't made any special feelings towards them . Let them go.

Make an impression or move on.

I really disagree with the jack hate. He's pretty relevant and is always noticable. He just isn't mcdavid or matthews. We were promised more as a fan base. Tough expectations to live up too. Eichels entertaining to say the least. Highlight goals ect.

Silent sam really could be a complete bust. His draft status keeps his minutes up. He is completely invisible, to the naked eye and score sheet. Why would you pay him 3 or 4 million? Hope? Nothing stands out, skating, size, hockey iq, passing, goal scoring.

Ok, that makes more sense
But a lot of the guys on Rochester u mentioned will never spend significant time here
Quite a few career AHLers u mentioned

Also,
Idk how u could definitely say that “player x” is on J Botts’ list but “player y” isn’t

He said he’d need a full year to properly evaluate the players throughout the organization

And who YOU like/don’t like isn’t necessarily that same as him
