I've always liked douche-tool. Sounds less crass than douche bag imo.

Oh enough, dude. You came in here repeatedly over the past few weeks dropping "info" and it's mostly just cryptic bullocks, unlike the other guys on here who have sources and share information.

Stop being cute and acting like you know anything, you never even came close to calling this, or anything so far, for that matter.

If you say Risto and etc... for so and so and it goes down soon thereafter, so be it, but this is non-sense.

His plan is swapping bottom-6 guys and prospects so far.

Man, I'm not here to give you crap personally, but if you look at Steve Howe's body of work, his innovations and his chops there are maybe 4 or 5 guitarists of all time mentioned in the same breath....and Ace Frehly is standing miles away, holding Howe's jockstrap.

Not the prettiest guy but the only guitarist that gives him a serious run for the decade of the 1970s is Jimmy Page.

A person who truly didn’t care about being right wouldn’t say that. Take the 3ER for instance. How often do u see him celly one of his epic prognostications? Like effin Barry Sanders over here. Act like u been there before.

When you walk with Jesus my friend, being right means nothing.
Walking with Him and sharing His word is what means something.
Further,
Jesus loathes pride.
You don't know me at all my friend.
Prideful people have a hunger to be right.
I have no hunger to be right anymore in my life.
A better man is a man that does not hunger to be right.
But rather, being a man of humbleness and light.

Sure, you can try to assume you know me but, you don't.
Just because you are used to dealing with the chest beating majority here... ..when it comes to me?
You assume wrong.
As a matter of fact my friend, I invite you to worship with me at the Chapel at Crosspoint every Sunday morning at 11am with my wife and mother.
Let me know?

Another nice pick up by Botts. Very impressed with his drafting and trades so far this off-season. Obviously there will be more changes coming unless the strategy is to play only Right D-men and Left-wingers.

The best thing about all of these moves is that it is now guaranteed that some of our trash won't be on the ice come October. Addition by subtraction as Homie says. Guys like Bogo, Scandella, etc have to be worried about their tenure in Sabreland. These moves also suggest that Tage is going to crack our Top 9 in one of the RW spots.

Exciting times, can't wait to see what happens next.

The RoR trade had made like 80% of hf Sabres fans sh!t on Botts for every tiny move, even for stuff he hadn't yet done/wouldn't be able to do.

I kind of found it as a nice source of humor since if you take both that and the Skinner trade, it's a net positive in favor of us. Most of his other deals at the time we're lower caliber outside of Montour, another + for Botts.

Now with Miller/Johansson/Joker/Vesey I guess, maybe a good Risto deal you can't really find much to complain about.

The Blackhawks brass has a pretty good track record of evaluating and drafting well at the forward position.

Part of the reason they have regressed as an organization is they've been unable to replicate that on the blue line, and haven't had a "hit" since Hjalmarsson via the draft.

But they also haven't drafted a talent like Joker.

Time will tell, but worst case for the Sabres, this deal is a wash with both teams picking up players that help them longer term. Odds are the Sabres made a steal here, if for no other reason than legit top 4 defensemen are very hard to find.

If you don't believe it ask...well... the Blackhawks since 2010 - it has been a patchwork in progress beyond the top 3

And yet, looks like they find one with a very high ceiling and they dump him for a guy who hasn't broken through the AHL as a steady contributor, nor played any meaningful time for the big club that finished at or near the bottom of the league since he was drafted.

Botts has pictures of Stan

The only team In the NHL to have a bottom 6 of all d-men

Really? This is a great pick up. Botts best move since he has been here.

Brock Boeser would sure make Casey better.

Olofsson and Risto retained at $1.5m for Boeser

- jcragcrumple


pft, it's uncle Jimbo, Olofsson for Boeser straight.

TT was a key part of the ROR trade. Thompson will be given every opportunity to succeed because of this. Rhino is obviously #1. After that, who do they have? Okposo? I see Johanson or Sheary flipping over to the right side as 2 RW with Thompson being the 3rd RW. Unless they make another trade, then all bets are off for TT.
