I mean both can easily be true. Rather than make a big splash for a difference maker, he chooses to fritter away a 2nd and 5th for miller, a 3rd for Vesey and a 4th for Frolik.

He doesn't want to get burned again on a big deal, so he gets burned on many small ones instead

- jcragcrumple

No both can absolutely not be true

He cannot simultaneously be “scared” to make a trade while also making too many trades.

Doesn't it get exhausting making the same points over and over again?

No, you don't. He was told what to do and it was done.

Ok, still doesn't change the fact that he had a hand with this poop show on ice.

All right man, you win.

Botterill is terrific. Debate is over rated. Enjoy the (frank)ing echo chamber

- jcragcrumple


This hasn't been debate lately. It's emotional, one-sided ranting.

Who says he’s terrific?

My god. People are so weird about GM’s and coaches.

Like they don’t have to either be an A+ or an F-.

He’s been bad in certain areas, good in some. As a whole it hasn’t been good enough

I also recognize that the Sabres second best player is 19 and struggled.

They’ve also had a ridiculous run of bad special teams that will at some point whether this year or next normalize. Because they all do.

You want him fired. Cool man. I can take it or leave it at this point.

Frankly, I’m terrified of who the owners would hire next. I’d rather see if this dudes vision can amount to something next season

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

- sbroads24


Skinner - 19 points, 9 mil. Yea I can leave that.

VO - have yet to be seen away from Eichel.

Now you are on the Risto and Reinhart are good side, pick a side here I can’t keep up.

And why couldn't he say No, tell them it's the wrong thing to do at this time, maybe they listen maybe not.
If he gets fired, he still gets paid.

You mean compared to Nikita Zaitsev and Tyler Ennis? Is that who were getting in this super even swap without Jack Eichel?

Would you say this emotional, one sided ranting is repetitive and/or prohibits your enjoyment on hockeybuzz?

Tyler Ennis has more points than Jeff Skinner. Discuss.

Tyler Ennis would be 4th in this team in points. I’d enjoy Ennis in this team.

If the Sabres could play with the same anger, reckless abandon, borderline insanity and aggressiveness as this board we’d have a real chance at the cup. Just sayin.

Agreed.

Can I play center?

I’m usually a winger.

I’m not fast.

I suck at defense.

I don’t forecheck hard.

I do make a mean t-shirt

Why, people act like what we have traded away over the last 5 years have been world beaters. Blame our GM now for GIVING AWAY ROR.

I can’t imagine how rattled Pegula must be right now. I would be beside myself knowing I fired GMTM to let this incompetent moron putz of a GM nose dive the entire organization into the ground. This is right up there with Bugs Bunny coercing Bruno the Magnificent into diving from 1,000 feet into a block of cement. Complete and utter disaster.
