Well, with the Bogo asking for a trade, Beuleiu however you spell his name asking for a trade and perhaps ROR wanting out, Risto wanting out, but now seems fine, we might lead the league in trade requests. Is there anyone I missed?

Beaulieu was a whipping boy for Housley. He kept getting scratched. Bogo has a bit of entitlement complex as a 3rd OA pick imo. Still Botterill did this to himself with Bogo by keeping all these guys. They cant all play. Not all 8.

Maybe if Botterill got a real winger for ROR the year after he took over, things could have been different. But they're not, ROR isn't here and he's not coming back.

Let's get some more real forwards

Pot stirrer here:

Reinhart, Eichel and ROR had dinner together at Hutch's Restaurant on Monday, Josh Allen was there separately and picked up the tab.

I thought Eichel and ROR disliked, hated, didn't get along whatever and that was a reason he was traded?

Throw that theory out methinks.

It wasn't just a hockey trade that's for GD sure

We don't have a cheap owner who worries about paying lump salary or bonuses for good players.

Did ROR ask for a trade? Maybe we'll have to wait for his memoir to know.

BFF Bogo must be pissed that Jack took #2BFF to dinner with ROR. Perhaps this is why he asked to be traded yesterday?

Barnaby said on XM today that he sides with Bogo as him being a vet D man he didn't want to be benched. Funny, Miller is a vet D man and has been scratched and he hasn't asked for a trade or complained. F Bogo, let him rot in the stands or send him down.

I know ROR's not coming back but the dinner story came out and I have still seen that theory pushed so it's fun to shut that one up.

I agree. I dont think Hoffman gets a haul. The panthers didn't pay a lot for him. They should just keep him as an own rental
- jcragcrumple

Still lmao how Sens put conditions on the Karlsson deal with SJ aimed at preventing them from turning right around and flipping him to an Atlantic team (TB, namely) for profit like they did with Hoffman.

You mean ALTERNATE CAPTAIN McCabe ? no, no complaining from him Mitts, EROD, Sheary, Scandella or Sobotka.

Dress Bogo every game and let him just sit on the bench shift after shift.

Miller has been the most often scratched.

Nothing from him publicly

What has Botterill done?

Put us in a playoff spot into December

The Sabres look really good for the first time in 12 years

You are a relentless complainer. Insufferable.

The only mistake I've seen jbotts make (aside from the ror trade so far) is to sign Rodriguez.

The irony 👄, he signed your guy to add to the winger depth. The worst move so far.

How about Larsson? Great resigning

Sometimes players make emotional mistakes. These guys are still young.

Doesnt make it right, but bogo apparently has worked really hard to get healthy enough to play.

Let's see where this goes. Maybe it's a wake up call.
Good move by krueger

Get on someone else's ass, Boss. Your shtick is tiresome. I'm sure someone else will love to hear your takes on Reinhart. That person isnt me.

Botterill pissed off Bogo by having too many defensemen and not enough room for Bogo's entitled self. If you cant handle the truth, I cant help you

Too fkn bad bogo got pissed. He was directly responsible for both Stl goals and should have sat out last game. He’s been hurt close to 50% of the time and when playing is below replacement level.

He's a professional. He needs to deal with it. This has nothing to do with Botts and everything to do with Bogo being injury prone and his awful play.

You've got 8 egos completing for 6 spots; 7 out of necessity. Conflict was an inevitable outcome of the roster construction. A 29 year old beat out by 7 guys younger than him.

Bogo is also a baby. Both are true

If they were going to keep him he wouldn't have had a problem, but why did he have one foot out the door?
- GilPerreault11

Couple of ideas.

A) his dad is Carl Lindros lite. Maybe his dad would pop into buffalo from nearby Ontario too much

b) something with that unplanned pregnancy. Maybe her dad was gonna kill him.

3) drugs. Maybe he wanted to get outta town to get away from drugs and get a clean start

D- all the losing love for the game was a way to sell himself as a winner slash leader. Or to cover for a different excuse. Like he didn’t want to look at the daughters assss with e Kane and left town

E- maybe Eichel and him had a falling out but then made up.

F- maybe his wife wanted to ski a lot

You need to help yourself.

You relentlessly complain.

Sam is a good hockey player, I'm not paying him 7+ million.

That's my take. Like it or not
