We need a 24 year old ROR now. We needed to bottom out for Matthews then. Why everyone leaves out the part that we picked 7th and got Nylander instead of a top 4 pick boggles my mind.

Tmgm definitely tried to tank that session too. Casey nelson straight out if college as a free agent. Couple other moves too. Bad luck by winning.

Tmgm wanted tkachuk badly

It all adds up to everyone freaking out.

I’m still waiting on who’d trade our roster with the Sens.

I wanna hear how close we are.

- sbroads24


I wouldn’t only because of Eichel.

Other than that. Meh.

But there are only a handful of teams I wouldn’t trade rosters with, the rest I could be talked in to.

Also if we are trading rosters, do we also get farm systems?

You today:



There’s so much wrong with the organization if you think flipping Botterill for someone else will do the trick you are kidding yourself


You yesterday:

The Sabres aren’t bad, are literally 2 pieces away from contention

He’s just ANOTHER 3rd line quality guy

Did I say it would have, it could have. And what did ROR do for us, please tell me, certainly didn't make us better. Compher and Zadarov could have filled rolls and maybe the picks and players used to replace them would have been different
- Buff36



That’s like saying what has Eichel, Reinhart and Dahlin, Skinner done for us?

Oreilly is a great player. We would be better right now with him on the team instead of Zadorov, Compher and Grigerenko

- ImThatGuy

and this is absolutely moronic

So you’d actually trade away Reinhart, Skinner, Dahlin, Olofsson, Joker, Montour, Ristolainen, for..... Thomas Chabot and Brady Tkachuk.

Bravo dude

We are 4 pieces away, realistically 3 though cause Cozens will fill one of those holes. 2C, top 4 LHD, 1A/1B goalie.

disagree

they go hand in hand

- homiedclown


I suppose
But even if u wanna say that,
it’s more on the players than the coach

Players shouldn’t “need” to be motivated

Botterill built this roster, it's not on Murray. Post game last night they asked Eichel about the roster and if it's good enough, i'm sure everyone noticed his long pause.


Botterill thinks Sheary is a top 6. I'll leave it at that.

I didn’t realize Krueger and Botterill we’re here that long.

I guess they should be held accountable for the entire drought

No we would be better today if they would have just stayed the course with the rebuild and not hurried everything, the ROR trade and the Kane trade were horrible at that time. We gave up good picks and prospects that could be helping this team right know.

2 roster pieces away, and a bunch of improvements by the owner/management

Which non-playoff teams rosters are you swapping for ours.

Come on. I wanna hear it. I’m still waiting.

What team you giving up Dahlin, Sam, Olofsson, Joker etc to switch places with.

He is a complete moron.

Go drill another well Teri, stop being so cheap and a fan-owner.

- IonSabres


Even if LaFontaine was still here,
whoever the GM is would be making all the personnel decisions
The administrative role a “Pres of Hockey Ops” would not have had us trading for Haula instead of signing MoJo, or drafting Chychrun instead of Nylander, etc etc

Maybe they’d have a say in something big,
like the Skinner signing
But i doubt much else would be been different

Shanahan isn’t making the trades for the a leafs,
is he??
And btw, how’d it work out for them with all those hockey guys in upper mgmt?

So dahlin and Cozens not aging 3 years Is Botts’ fault ?

He takes the blunt of the blame for rushing Casey’s development 100%.

Give me one more top 10 pick and I could care less if they move on from him in the offseason.

Add a couple stop gaps while the kids grow up.
