Murray pick
- sbroads24

Yeah I was just saying maybe he wanted quality over size, because he new of Borgen.

That goal brought to you by the worst contract in Sabre history
- sbroads24

3-0 Pens. Looking good

Yeah sort of like the montour trade from last year. A good young player with term.

I think we would all gladly take trocheck
- Sabretooth9

I would be thrilled and stunned if the Sabres landed VT.

Eventually shouldn't be the standard though. We've completely wasted possibly Eichel's career year, a Dahlin ELC year, Reinhart's final cheap year, and even Olofsson's cheap year because he came into the season with 9 NHL defensemen on the roster.

It took 4 months to finally move one, and he comes up with frolik. And it took 5 months to waive bogosian. Inexcusable.

Please list all the other trades made that Botts should’ve done instead...
there were many on here that wanted Kessel &/or
PK Subban... how’s those trades work out?
Maybe we should’ve traded for Taylor Hall?
But it seems like he’s going to the UFA market to see what’s out there

U guys keep acting like a dozen really good players got traded,
and it’s really more like 3

Here we go sabres here we go

Monti showed up to play. Now, is he trying to play his way off or on to this team?

They’ve changed the first Montour goal (Where Jeff Skinner causes two turnovers and gets the shot on goal) to unassisted.

But pointsssssssss

i mean, its "out there" that they were far on ehlers in the offseason but he couldn't finalize it

then ehlers was playing too good to be traded in season

Here we go sabres here we go

Strange Days indeed.

Rangers trade a 3rd rd pick defenseman for 22 year old RW Julian Gauthier (4th in AHL in scoring).

Botts (and his hockey buzz minions) : there was no trades to be made

Sam also caused the turnover on the second. Won’t get credit. But olofsson will.

JB cherishes his defensive depth.

Fun fact. Jeff Skinner, in the worst goal drought of his career, has more EV primary points than Olofsson, who’s been attached to the MVP’s hip

Lol, he's been in the AHL for 3 years.

Is the he second coming of Brett Hull? I doubt it.

How is that not a penalty shot?

perfect. i'll pick you for AGM because of your aggressive use of commas.
- robz228

Ok, I am in. I have no idea what I am doing so it will fit in to the HB narrative. You chose well.

Skinner is definitely not a number 1 defenseman

Nor is hutton a goalie

I know, I can’t believe we paid someone $9M to play with Eichel either. Thank you for proving my point. Now go get another high end 2C to make average wingers worth a poop.

- robz228

And I’d have loved Ehlers
But you’re gonna rip Botts for not getting him,
(in your words) “bc he couldn’t finalize it”

So if that’s the case, then tell me,
what GM did “finalize it” sir?
Bc i must have missed that

Seems WPG decided not to move him,
or was just looking to see if anyone would wildly overpay

It just doesn’t make sense to put that on Botts

What do you say

I love that he is on his own line. Its going to look good when they start going in again

Lol, he's been in the AHL for 3 years.

Is the he second coming of Brett Hull? I doubt it.
- Powerslave

He’s one week older than hockey god tage Thompson Would gladly trade a borgen or laaksonen (sp) for a chance to get a young RW, one of our weakest positions

And while playing with linemates that most on here think suck

If they finish 5 points out of the playoffs with below average team goaltending, is this season really a total failure?
