Well more than likely the guy Botts expected to trade in Risto can’t garner much because he’s pretty bad. And McCabe just got sat for being awful. So it’s a step in the right direction

Sabres are irrelevant to the NHL. See, e.g., Lucic on Miller.

If Dahlin was on the Leafs this is a different outcome.

Whats worse is Tampa said that Dahlin's glove caused Cernak's elbow to lift.

A little info for you: While Tim Murray was the GM he made 22 trades.and with his drafts there are only 6 players left. Reinhart-Oloffson-Asplund-Johansson-Borgen-Fitzgersld. He inherited the 2nd ranked prospect pool in the league. Which he in turn used with multiple picks to use as trade bait which in turnlooks to be the only 1 left from all those trades is Bogosian. Yes Botts traded ROR and Kane away. Murray left a huge hole in the system trading away young prospects that should have been filling roster spots the last few years. And a little gem, one of those 2nd rnd picks traded to the Kings for Fasching, sorry can't remember the other guy, ended up going to Tampa and turned into Cernak who took out are Generational Dman last night. Reading over some of the stuff, Botts was handed the keys to a poop storm.

Hatboro Swords has never been wrong, just ask him. Tim Murray was his savings grace.

There is no chance botterill is canned this year or at the end of the year. He is gonna get his shot with the upcoming cap space and bevy of contracts coming off the books

Not sure I get it. Can you rephrase using an Einstein quote?

Wow just reading some of the stuff he did, we could have been iceing a decent team right now if the system was left to mature and the picks traded away were used.

Man it sucks that 1 of the 2nd rnd picks sent to LA was used on Cernak, and he takes out Dahlin.

The 2nd round pick traded for Georges was then flipped to the blackhawks for Debrincant

Patience is a virtue, Botts is just stuck in a city with none left.

I hear you Pegs, it just blows because the picks Botts has made should be the ones adding to a decent team, not trying to rebuild it from bottom to top

Face punching fixes everything.

We have Google now, Einstein, find one yourself.

Botterill hasnt made us better 3 seasons in, while bogosian is the only piece left from murrays out of control spending spree that pillaged the cupboards regier so kindly left behind..

I mean we were set up pretty nicely by regier and it feels so long ago. What are we doing

Unfortunately trying to rebuild what Murray tore down. Botts does not get a pass, but he didn't have much to work with.

Doggy style with an Ecuadorian broad in a freshly finished penthouse right after work.

So, how does anyone expect Botterill to make us better, if Murray pillaged the cupboards bare?

What does he have left to barter with when he's hired?

The only option he has is to build the system up again.

Just observating

It is what it is, im not arguing it. It needs to be done and if he doesnt someone else eventually will. I think everything thats played out this season other than failing to trade ristolainen indicates that this was the plan

I might have missed it, but what was the cost for Carter?

Another season gets botterill another draft to stock, extra year of maturation for murrays leftover picks who are starting to make impacts, and gives him a chance to spend money on forwards that arent already on the roster

Since the Wild beat the Sabres they went on the beat Colorado and then gain points in all 3 games after.

Sometimes the Sabres are just the remedy
