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.

You'll get a 3C for a 2nd and a 5th and you'll like it!

nah traded for casey nelson and a 5th

Botts gets fleeced again!

can we search around for people who played important depth roles on past playoff teams who are well past their prime because thats whats going to be coming

i mean jeremy white's guy had frolik as a target in october. that wasn't a desperation flip that was a guy botterill had been targeting and chasing.

we are doomed

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.

This whole thread is taken right from NHL 20

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.

Did I see you down at the arena 2 Saturdays ago with 19 of your closest friends?

I thought that was you...

P. S. You have to actually LIGHT the torches.

Scandella looooollllzzz

Sabres gonna Sabre

This, unfortunately, is not trolling.

This is laughable.

Better than that brother, many here need to attain a life.

I mean. I'm honestly surprised we still need to poke this poho poop away.
- TheSabresTaco

We complained for years about the Bill's hiring a president of football operations. Last year they hired one and bang we're in the playoffs.


Oh wait, nevermind.

We were fine with just a good gm and coach

About Tom Wilson? 🤭

Why make the Frolik trade and not just call up CJ Smith or someone else from Rochester at a pittance of the price and at least the same production? It's like throwing money and cap space away?

The Scandella return today could have been waited on if they dumped Bogo sooner, kept Pilut in Rochester except for injuries and then dealt him closer to the deadline but I won't beat up JB too much about that because I have a feeling he is going to get beat up after the trade deadline.

Botterill is safe

For real tho

I absolutely believe you. We're stuck with this guy for a long time.

Sabres also had Dalton Smith sitting right there in Rochester, waiting to be called up.

Defenseman are falling left and right, there's still time before the deadline, we have better Dman on are roster then got moved today.

I'd move mccabe for a 2nd and a 4th


same for miller
- homiedclown

Thy leaves us thin on defense for next year
Especially if we are trading Montour or Risto for a forward as well
And is Pilut still going back to Europe like u said he might?

That would leave our defense for next year as:
Dahlin-Jokiharju
Pilut??-Montour/Risto
______-______

Maybe Borgen is ready for RD3
And i guess we could bring back Gilmore as the 7

That only leaves Bryson as MAYBE someone who could be called up for injuries

I guess it could work out
But it does leave us very thin

but think of all the tall defensemen botts could draft with those extra picks

need to trade 2 or 3 players for an impact player

move 2 guys and a pick for RNH

move 2 guys and a prospect for mantha


this team needs difference makers, not semi warm bodies
- homiedclown

Sounds great
If only it was that easy

JB should fire his pro scouts, big miss.

- robz228

Ryan Johnson 6’0
Henri Jokiharju 5’11
Jacob Bryson 5’9
Oskari Laaksonen 6’2
Lawrence Pilut 5’11

But yes, he drafted one 6’4 dude. So I guess that’s all of them

It's in Botterill's interest to leak these things.

He's always trying. When it doesn't work out, he tried

Well you got Borgen at 6'2" too.

I’m super confused as to how you think that would be in his best interest.

You actually think it makes him look better that he can’t get things done when he tries?
