And there’s been NO ONE more vocal than me about that...
true or false???

I’ll take Clarkson and Tuch to ease their pain.
- dadeadhead

For 250K more I'll take Marchesseault and Clarkson.

No nylander on the rookie development roster ....... ummm
- Sabretooth9

Isn't he too old?

No it's not, it's just that the moves sometimes work only for one team

Kessel - pens
Duchene - avs
Seguin - Stars
ROR - Blues

I can go on and on. If this GM is shell shocked from a bad trade, and is unwilling to make a trade, then he needs to go. The team needs help. Doing nothing isn't a plan, it's autopilot. And that's not what a GM gets hired to do

Depends if what’s available are good ideas or not

Did u wanna give up a 1st & 3rd for Jt Miller???

discuss lol

We both agreed on that but it's over and done. The question is what to do now, and as far as I'm concerned, "nothing" isn't an answer

I hear ya
But i don’t wanna see bad moves made that will set us back either

Is it too much to ask this GM to make a good move this summer?

If so, then he isn't the right guy. And "nothing" doesn't qualify as good in my book

I have a feeling the Bored Trophy Wife is in for a big surprise at the turnstile this year. She thinks all she has to do is show a few more kids flossing and people will be flocking to see the crappy team she put together.

Once there in last place though, Mrs. Bored Trophy Wife will plan 15 nights of Hockey Supports XXXXXXXXXXXXX. (insert cause of the night here). The only way she can get someone to show, because the team she is totally responsible for is a colossal failure for the 7th year in a row.

You realize those are all NHL mandates, right?

Olofsson is going And he’s like 85 in rookie camp terms .... I doubt his age is an issue

One other point on this: if Botterill fails to make a significant move, it would read to me like he's afraid to have a move backfire on him. You can't have a GM with a case of the yips

FIFY

Maybe Nylander hurt his groin bending to grab a fresca out of his fridge.

Respectfully, the "jump from the bridge" cliche is tired and nauseously over used.

That said, no I wouldn't do that.
And I believe that this GM has an actual plan unlike the drunken beady eyed douche bag before him that I said from day one was in fact, a beady eyed douche bag right from the word go while so many of you self professed know it alls, licked his nut sack.

I'm out.
I've provided my one post for the month.

I wanted them to trade back into the 1st to draft Tuch originally.

He fits all the criteria including age.

Botts Apologists have a big decision to make. Who to vote for in 2020 Democratic Presidential Primary. Pocahontas or Sleepy Joe? I'm a lifelong Sabres fan. Thank god that is all I have in common with that group of stone cold losers.

I feel a mother(frank)ing rant building. This is such utter bullpoop (and none of this is directed at you) that we all recognize no playoffs in the 3rd year of Botterill. It's so (frank)ing unacceptable. You don't just get to sit on your hands and hope poop gets better. You have to make things better.

If he isn't willing to take some chances to make this team a playoff team with 2 absolute studs and 2 more in Reinhart and Skinner who are damn near studs, than hand the reins over to someone who will make some (frank)ing moves to maximize what we have here.

Counting on Krueger and Olofsson to turn this around while signing the (frank)ing Greg McKegg and jordie Benn while saying "sorry, nothing else made sense for us" is not acceptable.

Do. Something. Or get out of the way. Either there's a vision, or there's not. He doesn't get to just ride the tide with a margarita in his hand.

How do you know botts is doing nothing, there is no evidence to say he hasn’t called teams on players, attempted to make deals? Is it frustrating to not have change sure, but holy hell its not even July yet.
I wouldn’t have wanted to give a first round pick to tbay for Miller.

Ok... have fun hypothetically overreacting
Makes sense

Talking about what moves you’d like to see makes more sense than ranting about Botts hypothetically not making a move

Wasn’t he absent last year as well?

Yeah I still don’t get it.

He’s made multiple trades, fired and hired coaches.

He’s been active since he’s been here
