She's not the President of hockey operations.

She's not even listed in the hockey department.

But continue the ignorant hate.

I'm not sure why, but lots of people seem to have a deep-seated hatred of Kim Pegula.

If they met her, they wouldn't feel that way. Kim's a really nice human being.

Does this make his orginal trade for scandy and pommer better now that his worth is a 2nd and 4th?

🤔

Lol.... the entire concept of supply/demand is instantly lost upon you right now.

We had him just sitting in our box and we weren't playing him. He was unhappy and other GMs knew it. So we got a 4th for him when the market was soft.

Now STL, losing Jay Bo for the season has a huge desire and need so they were willing to overpay to get an experienced guy after seeing DeMelo AND Dillon both get traded today. So in addition to the need it was multiplied by other dmen moving today too.

I'm pretty sure it's lost on you. Who the (frank) sells when there's no/low demand? It's not like he made the move 10 minutes before the TDL.

Let him sit in the box; there's no reason to sell him off for pennies in a soft market just because. Injuries happen every night in this league. He panicked and made a move just for the sake of it. Frolik was never the missing piece, or even A piece.

Didnt realize we could’ve moved Scandella twice.

I’m just glad you’ve been consistent in the opinion of wanting Scandella here until the deadline or until Boumeester collapsed. We all know it’s been your opinion all along that he should’ve kept all the D men as long as possible

- sbroads24

There were multiple dman traded today. Jay bo didnt need to go down. Botts is in over his head. The defense of him is a joke.

if you want to give botterill a slide because he was in a position of weakness with his d situation maybe realize that he went out of his way to create that position of weakness

Would you really trade Risto for a 2nd and a 3rd?? Who's dumb here?


I'd probably do Montour or McCabe for that but still..

Can’t wait for mainstream media for the 100th time this season say “botts is trying hard to make a trade”

Those tweets are definitely coming

In NHL 20 I created the new Seattle team and traded a 1st, an A rated prospect, Peyton Krebs, and Derrick Brassard for Eichel. Maybe Botts would actually fall for this in real life.

Worst GM in NHL. Gets fleeced left and right from GMs and Agents. Be prepared to pay Reinhart 8 mil per this year

No, she is listed as Vice President of Pegula Sports Entertainment. She and her husband don’t want a president of Hockey Ops because they want the general manager communicating directly to them essentially making them the president of hockey operations. They don’t know hockey, they have too much going on to focus on the Sabres. If they are pretending not to spare any expense to make this a championship franchise why wouldn’t they want someone to help advise the GM? Why wouldn’t they want another hockey guy with networking and know how?

You go on defending this dysfunctional ownership and management group while we break the record for longest playoff drought in the history of the league.

If Botterill can pull off a reverse ROR(ripping off another team for a good 2C/borderline 1C) I will freely admit I was wrong.
