Except for the ones he wins, like the 4 or 5 last night, 2 of which led directly to goals, and one to a grade A chance.

But i heard we should be excited about the mid-late 1st round picks we got...

Colin White or Travis Konecny would make no difference here

The puck was at the boards, he was outnumbered, he came away with the puck, so because he got the puck out before he was hit that's a bad thing?

In fact many people lamented that Botterill wasn't able to land an "A" prospect.

Yeah, I was agreeing, people were going so far as to female dog that he couldn't get an "A" prospect.

I’ve found the greatest tweet sequence of all time

“Careful all the Eichel lovers will complain. I agree. He DOES NOT impress me at all. #Sabres⁠ ⁠ need players like Domi & Shaw. They have 0 of it. Defense sucks & still lack overall speed. Parity is unreal in the league. Making playoffs will be DIFFICULT.”

I still want Athanasiou on this team. Perfect deadline pickup, and long-term Sabre

1.) Hopefully there's something in Botterill's MBA books to help him out with that. No clue.
2.) No, he's not.
3.) I think he's a center - but I think it circles back to point 1

Mittelstadt is no speedster himself, and neither are Reinhart and Okposo (watching Okposo struggle on the transition is hard to watch) Maybe Nylander or Olofsson can shift to the right,or maybe they can make a splash in FA. The RW position looks fairly bleak right now - when a soon-to-be 36 year old is the best one, that's bad. But, we all knew the LW position sucked when the summer started, and Botterill fixed that. So idk, in Botterill I trust

He's also a Peterman defender(I think, the guy has the syntax and clarity of Garth), that says all you need to know.
