I was sour on him i the very beginning, but he is literllay being run dry by this team.
He is on pace for 65 points, on this team playing with Benoit Pouliot, Girgensons, and other crap wingers.

When this team is finally good, and gets some actual talent on the D and Wing, ROR will be a damn good 2nd line center at a great contract.

OK I can dig that response I can understand the frustration playing with the right players

But with Casey coming do you think one of Ryan O’Reilly or Sam has to go for d

If we win the Draft lottery, no, but that's a big if.

Thanks for the update. The next 2 weeks mean a lot to me as it shows what Botts is all about. I do think he understands as a team at the bottom, if there are players in the last year of their deals and you don't plan on resigning, you need to get future assets for them. Hope he gets us back on track!

I'm very interested in the what GMJB brings in at the deadline too. You had me very into the idea of Honka last night. I just hope Botts considers the defense of this team as something worth addressing. Beaulieu, Antipin and a 3rd round draft pick did little to improve this team.

This is the easy part. Selling is easy. You take the best offer and run.

Building it back up is where the likes of Darcy, and Murray failed.

@EricGalko of Optimum Scouting: "Bills were aggressively scouting the top college qb's this season. people around NFL telling him Bills are high on Josh Rosen. says he is "the apple of their eye"

I could live with him...going to cost a fortune to move that high though

I see your point. If you're just receiving draft picks, identifying the high bidder is easy. But contrasting different prospects is more of a challenge. Can Botts sign Borgen, or does he let him walk?

So 2000 years ago a jewish prophet walked around and made an impression on some people. Then he died and 3 generations later, some people made up some stories to make him sound cooler. Now we eat deep-fried fish on friday as a symbol of our parents love to this man.

I think

While I did mention we were talking to Philly a few days ago, it is just that; talking. And I was told it included a goalie but was not based on that. Unfortunately after asking for more info, I was told, 'it's just talks at this point, can't say much more.'
Latest I heard there are 8 different teams interested in Kane.
You're welcome for the pointless, obvious, and basic news. Sorry wish I had more

Ek said it, so probably not.

I'm not sure McDonagh is someone we want to lock up

No. Sabres and McDonagh is just where Ek's 12-sided dice landed upon.

Who posts this type of stuff? Just to have people on a website laugh? Must be some attention issue


In all seriousness,

During the "thank you to troops" break at yesterday's game, Kane came out and skated around a bit. I'm not sure if it was a skate issue or a slight injury.
He skates back to the bench, and lehner jokingly won't let Kane in/open the door to the bench. Eventually Kane opens the door and punches lehner really hard to the chest. My son's friend turned to me and asked "what was that all about". It looked like they were joking. But were they??????

See how I used the ??? Instead of ()

Reminded me of the recent story of Kane punching one of our posters really hard in the chest.

That would take moving up to the NYG's #2 overall pick. Would cost something like, #21, #22 one of our 2nds and a 1st in 2019. Not sure I'd pay that price for a guy concussed twice last year?? Rather move up to the low teens and roll the dice with Josh Allen. Boom or bust, but that boom potential is enticing.

Kane and Lehner(especially Lehner) seem like the type if they are mad enough to punch each other they are going to both go atomic. Sounds more like a healthy relationship rather than an unhealthy one.
