One possible excuse:
If Jack is injured, this (or whatever next year's team) is a bottom three team, no doubt.

Well that's why it has to be a legit 2C, let Cozens grow and get comfortable. But losing Jack would be devastating.

Sources say the Islanders have traded Ilya Sorokin’s rights to Chicago.

What a dumb move by the Islanders

I think Kase would have been a fine target. I also don't think he moves the needle.

An improvement on the roster is an improvement, right?

A series of moves can have a cumulative effect on the overall improvement of the team.

It's Andre Kase, not a really big deal.
- SABRES 89


I agree he is not a huge deal at all, however, if the GM is waiting for obvious moves like Nylander for Jokiharju or low risk moves like Vesey for a 3rd or Sheary for a 3rd, and is against making real hockey trades, it is going to take years and years for the team to actually be good.

He seems risk adverse, gun shy, and overly patient.

That is a scary combination.

I've been saying it for the last few days

The off season is where Botts needs to make his moves, at the draft it's when more deals are done

Dump the crap at the deadline

This off season priority list:

Find a 2nd line center
Find a capable goaltender (if Hutton didn't blow up they're sitting 2-4 points out right now if not in the last playoff spot)
Find a 2nd line LWer

He’ll be forced to make a couple of moves this offseason. Here’s to hoping that not all of them are bringing back players currently on the roster.

Yeah, it was leaked. Then both Chi and NYI said not true Dreger, someone needs to slap your peepee. So exactly how is he gone? Don't double down, you jumped the gun with Dreger as well.

I used to be on here all the time. You guys would have hated it. Every time a trade was made, people would say that player A would have been a perfect fit in Buffalo, and GM _________ should be shot, stabbed, tortured and fired for not making the deal.

They only gave up player X, prospect Y and pick Z to get player A. We could have sent Fat/Slow/Old/Injured/Overpaid player, Girgerenkoensonov, and a 4th. Player A is going to be the next Gretz.
