he was not declining at the start of the season


I think it's an injury/conditioning problem

- homiedclown



Maybe, since he also looked crappy the last half of last season
But regardless...
he’s definitely not a guy we can count on going forward

Will Botts trade him or send him down to AHL?
Idk

But it would be surprising to me if our goalie tandem is Ullmark/Hutton again next year
I think he looks to sign/trade someone to upgrade Hutton

I still think if they remove hutton or demote him in the fall, johansson gets the tap

esp if ullmark finishes the year strong

Even if Ullmark & Johansson finish strong,
it’s still pretty risky to go with such a young tandem next season

Trade for Raanta?

Crawford & Holtby likely UFAs

There’s some interesting options for Botts to at least explore

It would come down to $$$ and term for me

Even if the $$$ was up there,
a vet Cup winner for 3yrs or less might be just what a young team needs

Obviously that’s if Holtby, Crawford or whoever are still good- which they might not be

Gotta think he’d at least make the call
But one of them will cost us assets to get,
plus a raise in their contracts I’m sure

NyR looks to have a goalie available as well

You don't take Sam Reinhart to arbitration. Mark that one down too. Would be a complete embarrassment. I'm sure he'll file, but that contract will be done prior to a hearing.

And if it isn't, (frank) Botterill with a fistfull of broken ebola vials.

- TheSabresTaco


That is EXACTLY the point. File for Arb, wait.
Botts will be at BoddaBing doing lines off the bar and chasing down Jager shots with Evan Williams.

I would like it noted, since you are including my name in your attempt at humor, that I had no part in this.
Don't you have an impeachment trial to be at? Quoting people with fraudulent comments.

Adam it’s okay. No one is going to get in trouble. Don’t worry, if you ever do something noteworthy here I might some day make a joke about you too.

I think the issue with doing that is that botts and ralph thinks he a leader and good in the room. So they wouldn’t do that.

Which is stupid ...... but what do I know

In 2012 we had the 12th and 14th pick and took two centers, Grigorenko and Girgensons. Thomas Hertl was taken at 17.

NICE JOB BOTTS!

Seemed like an idea at the time.
Forsberg nearly fell to 12, would’ve been bueno.

1 out of 8 goalies taken in the first round pan out, see earlier post


pretty sure we need a "safer" pick this summer

- homiedclown



What are the percentages on other positions? Prob the same I would assume. 1/8 players. Gives about 4 really good players a 1st rd. Some average guys then a lot a nobody’s. Doesn’t matter the position

Remember that draft well. Yakupov and Grigs were supposed to be studs. Lot of mocks gad is taking Tom Wilson then we traded up for Girgs

Have you guys seen the jerseys the former players were wearing.

Players names misspelled, goat head jerseys look like they were made by a 5 year old.


This team is a (frank)ing joke and they do not care about their fans.

Terry and Kim Pegula can blow it out their asses if they ever say they care.
