if they do not make a claim for sprong or sang, and sobotka is the emergency second line

the direction of this franchise is f@cked

our biggest need for filling up the prospect pool is wingers

sprong rw
14 goals in 47 games when given a chance


sang, as bad as he is labeled, still put up 24 points in 53 nhl games, also a rw

Or if they lose out on waiver claims, sign the old man back.

With THIS roster, he should be here

If Botts doesn't make any claims or roster surgery today, I wouldn't expect nothing to happen barring injury until trade deadline time.

To be fair, Risto is still on Winnipeg's radar according to Ek, so...

You're right. Nothing will happen
- thatsapickle

I do believe Risto is on a couple of teams radar actually, but from the rumors by media types Botts is asking more than what his market value is. It is possible trade talk heats up after say 10 - 15 games once GMs actually see what they have on ice versus paper...mid-late Nov.
I don't believe he alone is going to get a top 6 player though...they will need to add to it, likely a prospect and a pick IMO.

Jeremy white and his wife lost their quadruplets shortly after birth. Very sad. Horrible

Neither would replace Sobotka.

It'd be Okposo.

Oh geez.

Don Granato has been hospitalized with severe pneumonia. Chris Taylor joining Sabres staff. Gord Dineen taking over as Amerks coach. Adam Mair taking over assistant duties.

I know they weren't due until December, and had wondered why he wasn't on the morning show.

I was hoping it was a vacation.

That's terrible.

Those children were maybe 2-3 weeks away from viability. I feel terrible for his family.

Refer to point 1-
You’re putting way too much stock in a very small sample size of split squad games

Also...
Tage can look better than Okposo in preseason
AND
it can be determined that it’s still best for Tage to get sent down

They gave him a shot to see if he was ready,
they determined he still had work to do

It really didn’t have anything to do with Okposo
It had to do with what they thought was best for Tage
- jdfitz77

That's literally what I said.

The point is, if TT was better than Okposo (he was), and if they were never going to let him make the team over Okposo (they weren't) then they should have brought in someone to actually compete for the spot

Sprong or Ho Sang could right that wrong

Oh geez.

The worst.

I am trying to hold it together here at work. I cannot even imagine, but what I am imagining is the absolute worst - and I'm sure it's much harder than that.

I was impressed how well he held it together. I was almost tearing up at parts.

I listen at work, and will have to be prepared for that one.

Oh, man! That is horrible. I can’t imagine what they are going through.

Nice to see some real life issues on here. Besides the important issues of the 4th line??

My heart goes out to those involved in both issues.

Been there, lost my son last year.

Sorry, brother.

I have my furry friends, as well, and I love them more than humans most days.

My dog is my kid.

I have no desire for kids, personally. I do not hinder anyone else from wanting them. I am just not in a place to want a kid of my own.

I know many who feel the same, and I get it.

Kind of puts things in perspective doesn't it

I know we are all here because of the Sabres but some things are much bigger than sports

I listened to the morning show on my way to work down here in Orlando with my 3 year old in the car.

Makes you appreciate the important things in life just a bit more
