Maybe his reluctance to pull the trigger sooner hurt him in both cases, as well as the return for Kane

Maybe it's not hurrying that gets him in trouble, but dragging his feet too long

Good look and view from the other side.

If a gm is scared to pull the trigger on a trade .... he should be fired. Every decision you make, good or bad. You have to believe you made the right decision for the franchise / team.

Scared is one thing, trying to gain as many assets for your company/team is another thing.

I would guess in every trade , both gms believe they made the right decision?

Yes but botts can’t be thinking. “Well I traded Kane for pennies and got screwed on ROR. “.

He needs to commit to his plan. He brought in 3 nhl-caliber RHD in the past 6 months. Every GM knows what's up - surplus of RHD, stagnant player who wants out.

It doesn't matter whose fault it is, or why it is the way it is, he just needs to figure out how to get a useful player at RW or C and get him off the squad so we can watch Jokiharju and we don't need to see Sheary in the top-6

Bon voyage, risto

Going to be killer.

1st row, 200 level, right on the far blueline.

Priceless.

Hopefully this is the last of the malcontents (although I'm sure Slow-botka can't wait until his contract expires, and the feeling is mutual).

Almost every time jb talks to the media, he says "we want guys who want to be here"

Potentially, sure.

Seems to be a very slow trade market in view of the time of year coupled with logjam of unsigned RFA's as Botts cited the other day. Add to that teams like Tampa and Vancouver having already resolved their needs...the pickings are slim right now.
Of course, that could change at anytime...Botts is wise to wait it out..or maybe better said, he has no option but to wait it out.

We went and saw maiden 2/3 years ago in Toronto.
Book of souls tour
They played too many off the new album.


I was checking out the song list from the last few concerts. Looks like an greatest hits line up of songs.

Cant wait

Exactly, why force something?

Sabres are notorious for making ticket selling moves right before the season. I'm pretty sure they have something close.....

Eichel getting announced as captain.

Yes, skinner trade was early August

this is all I have to contribute today

He needs to figure it out before the season imo. No reason to keep a malcontent here when there are other options. They don't need that bad energy

Risto is taking up Joker's spot, and botts always talks about getting guys who want to be here. Joker definitely wants to be here more than Risto.

Similiar to your opinion on yeldon

They try and keep things fresh for themselves and for the die-hard by doing that. It was part of a huge plan the band set forth a while back.

New album/tour focusing on that.

Then a "greatest hits" tour, if you will.

And so on.

I peeked at the set list, myself.

The first two songs are going to put that place into a frenzy. I've never seen them do "Eagles", and it's one of my favorite songs, so I'll be lucky if I don't stroke out 😂

I'm basing my internet opinion on watching tj yeldon play. He is a below average level running back in the NFL thru out his career.

I missed the game, heard he looked bad on his 2 plays

From what I heard, Singletary looked good, as I expected

I will stick to my judgement on him, the o line in jacksonville blew his entire career down here

I have seen him play 30 or so games, way more then anyone else on this board


and he is why we lost the playoff game to the jags


but carry on

There is the draft in which high talent / low cost intersect though.
