I’ve heard that in movies now I’m wondering what’s so great about him maybe I’m just use to my music - gerbe75pts
Here's the thing, there wouldn't even BE a Tupac or a Fiddy, if it weren't for guys like Buddy Guy, Muddy Waters, and perhaps one of my favorites, Blind Joe Reynolds:
Reynold’s real name was Joe Sheppard. He was blinded by a shotgun blast to the face in Louisiana in the mid to late 1920s, which resulted in the physical loss of his eyes. Despite this handicap, “Blind Joe” became known for his distinctive bottleneck style as well as his reported accuracy with a pistol, with which it is said he could judge the position of a target by sound alone. Reynolds is known to have been polyamorous, and misogynistic as is apparent from a number of his recordings. He was also known to be outspoken and flamboyant, often using his music as a medium to attack society. He only cut records between 1929 and 1930. Even in the digital age, his music is hard to come by.

Oh so we're back to trading Risto again? - feetontheair22
Nope.
There was a proposal to trade everyone who was not elite for elite players.
That was realized as pure folly.
So now,
We are going to stick with the current roster, plug and play some of the kids to replace old/sucky-ass veteran slugs who were here last year.
We are however still expecting to be elite though.
- Sabresfan-365[url]Interesting listening to Rishaug speculating that the Oilers will go hard for a big name D; suggested Klefbom + 10 for Risto as an example.
Edit: im obviously way late
Yeah, I'd do that in a heartbeat. Klefbom isn't as good offensively, but better defensively, AND 10 OA? (frank) yeah.

Im told this is a logical fallacy because all GMs are always smart all the time. - Sabresfan-365
The inverse isn't always true either though.
To date Botterill hasn't done anything to make me think he's any better than the average guy. Benoit Balls was a decent signing, Beaulieu was a calculated gamble that fell short. Wilson was a pretty good move, but it was also low risk, low reward. Are we going to give him poop for drafting Dahlin because "anyone can do that?" like we did with Murray, while simultaneously not giving credit for Guhle and Nelson and maybe CJ Smith who at the very least makes Rochester better?
Botterill drafted Mittelstadt who fell into his lap, at least if you go by these rankings http://www.mynhldraft.com...t/2017-nhl-draft-rankings Throw out the high 2, and the low 12, and most are in the 4-8 range. So that didn't take much skill either. I'm not saying he's poop, at all. I'm simply saying that, to this point, he hasn't done anything to fill me with confidence that he's any better than average. That doesn't mean I don't think he can be better, just that I'm not sure where all your confidence comes from other than he was part of an organization that has the best player and like the 4th best player on their team.

For a while there they weren't even contenders even with those two.
Most of the pens people credit their turn around to his addition to the management team (not solely but enough that they felt it was worth mentioning).
he had crosby and malkin to work with, and found ways to add guys like Guentzel. Here he's got Eichel and Dahlin. Not as big as 87+71 but you get the idea.

We can use the 10th ,RoR for And the 3rd
Like Stripes suggested - gerbe75pts
If we can pull that off...I'm down. I'm not happy about it, cuz I like Risto....but If we could swing Risto and ROR for Kelfbom (spelling) and Zadina/Svechnikov...that's pretty damn good.
