They didn't trade him, he signed as a UFA in New Orleans. He also tore his labrum on one of, if not the last play of the season. New Orleans took a huge risk signing him and it paid off in spades.

I'm not sure if you remember, but there was talk of the bills drafting him out of purdue.

Our management group split and Butler and and aJ smith I believe were in charge.

As a free agent , breed was choosing between new Orleans, miami and buffalo was in the hunt.

Buffalo fans didn't want him ,because he was "too short", after the flutie era

no reason for an underhanded jab

I don't think that's what he was trying to do to be honest. You almost seem to be taking it personally.

Honestly, it's no surprise that things in the room weren't good here last year. Did he contribute to the problem? Sure. But can you really fault him for saying what we already knew? I don't think so.
- HonkFortheGoose


Being that he was part of the problem, we invested a lot and lost on him AND Botts is taking the time to check in on him after he left the team...I think so.

It's classless to take jabs at your old team, regardless of the situation. Seems to me he's trying to play the victim to explain his terrible play and mental instability.

wording is everything


it's nice to be on a good team and in a good locker room is different then saying it's nice to finally be on a good team and in a good locker room

these athletes are not dumb, he knew what he was saying


so yeah I guess I am taking it a bit personally


if he was part of the solution, he would still be wearing the blue and gold, instead he took the 8 mil and made 3 or 4 shootout save in 2 years?

i am curious.. did he ever have a shootout save? probably the vodka in his water bottle caught up to him that late in the game...... too soon?

I’ve given up on Bogo, he’s only gonna disrupt any kinda progress the defense makes. He’s always in and out of the lineup, hurt every year to start the year somehow. The guy just doesn’t give a poop about his training. Isn’t committed enough to play with a hangnail.

I agree:

I could maybe see a switch with Thomson and nylander in a few weeks , if tages play doesn't pick up

The risk is that Ullmark gets cold. The team will need to learn to play with him as well. I'd get Ullmark in there.

On the other hand, the schedule has been favorable to giving Hutton rest days. Maybe Ullmark plays 2 out west instead of Thursday

i would think with the break and how well hutton has been playing that you give him the start on Thursday.. if you want Ullmark on Saturday to the Yotes for the easier game..

I’d give Thompson more time.

You can see skill with him and he has a great shot. I’d separate him and CM

Rasmus hasn't scored yet. BUST. More like Rasmus dAHLin, amirite. He can hang with Jack EiCHeL. Thanksfully we have Casey NHLson otherwise we'd be (frank)ed. Middlingstats is just that. I can smell skunk from here. Did I do any of this right? O, and we got the better Eurolyander because he plays. Suck it beady.

Bills signed QB Derek Anderson.

Anderson upgrades the Bills' backup situation behind Josh Allen, although the team is also keeping Nathan Peterman around on the active roster. S Dean Marlowe was cut in a corresponding move.
