You said Murray didn’t have prospects. He traded those prospects for players now (oreilly/Kane/Lehner). Botts then traded or released those guys for underwhelming returns. You can’t blame Murray for that, that’s all on botts

You spelled Kim Pegula wrong

People don’t realize how hands on the Pegulas are.

It’s an issue and both franchises suffer and will continue to suffer for it.

This is EXACTLY what my fear is. Botts fighting with one hand behind his back. Even though taking big contracts back is in style, I wonder if he is even being allowed to go down that road..

Thank you. It's time to stop blaming Murray. Botts has made some bad moves.

He has now had 3 drafts. Prospect pool looks just as bare as it did with murray.
- Mentalorgasm5

This is absolutely insane to say and an awful comparison when looking at who’s has what assets.

We are in this mess entirely because the depth that we should’ve had from Murray’s drafts never came through the pipeline

For (frank)s sake Girgensons and Larsson are Darcy’s picks

Both are facts.


There are more than enough on here that have connections and we all are saying the same thing.

Where there’s smoke, there’s fire.

There’s certain people who are too dug in on their opinions to let facts get in the way

If that's true, botts is ridiculous to think he would have got a prospect of that quality.

Tolvanen is their best prospect.

I’m torn on the whole thing but as far as that goes you don’t know unless you ask. That’s why the ugly dude is going out with the hot chick...because he asked. Sometimes they say yes.

Gotta have an open mind.

Casey Mittelstadt is picked in 2018, is already a full time Sabre

Alex Nylander is picked in 2016, isn’t even a full time Rochester American in the playoffs

Neither should be on the Sabres roster.

Taking someone's word from the internet does not constitute as fact.

Mittelstadt wasnt ready. He shouldn't have been up.

Neither should be on the Sabres roster.
- SABRES 89

Both probably should be.

One of them looks to have a very short career

Mittelstadt wasnt ready. He shouldn't have been up.
- Mentalorgasm5

He was ready for a small role. Sabres didn’t have the line mates or depth to make him look better.

He obviously wasn’t a Calder candidate but anyone who’s worried about him as a prospect needs to chill out a little.

It’s not like he was Girgorenko who could barely skate

We burned two years of his ELC. He wasnt and hasnt been ready.

Thankfully, he also wasn't 26 his rookie year either 😅😂

So then he won’t be expensive to re-sign.

He scored 10+ goals. With the likes of Sheary, Thompson and Okposo.

Let’s not pretend he was dog poop the entire year

I dont need to pretend. He was. And that's not a list of good players.

Thompson should have also not been up.

- Mentalorgasm5

He’s played 83 games

Has 13 goals and 30 points.

He’s 20.

He’s been just fine

Give Botts the week, you will be surprised!

I mean the skinner deal happened in August.

He has until September to make this roster not look like crap.

It’s a situation in which we will keep a close eye on all scenarios
