Sabres have almost Scored as many goals in half a season as it took for a whole seasons in the tank years.

If you look at rates, P/60, 13-14 was 0.98 and 22-23 is 2.14

Boston is 2.03. Tampa is 1.99. Toronto is 1.94.

Two questions:
1. What would you give Vancouver for Bo Horvat?
2. After acquiring Bo Horvat, what type of deal would you offer him?

- RichardRoma


One question:
1. Would you get a Bo Horvat jersey?

Mitts, VO, Girgs, Okposo as your bottom 6 wingers (making more than your top 6) is a huge logjam. None of them should be in their long term plans and are clogging their lineup.

Anderson is in a similar boat. Playing fine, but getting in the way of the future.

- Lunaion


But in this sense the "log jam" is just warm bodies. It isn't like we have prospects being blocked. If anything we need more of them in Roch right now.

Who was the Sabres first GM? They deserve all of the credit for Tage.

If you want to make a move to improve, you have the clear the jam somehow. You're right, they are just warm bodies, but they don't seem to feel that way.

You're absolutely right. The "log jam" isn't having too many prospects, it is being too in love with the ones that many feel aren't prospects anymore.

It’s ridiculous.

“Collusion doesn’t exist” every sports league.

Top 6 winger doesn’t get claimed because of unwritten rules.

Tim Murry got us Jack Eichel and Tage Thompson.

Greatest GM in Sabres history?

- TheSabresTaco


Botterill got us Thompson
He was hired in 2017 & made the O’Reilly trade in the 2018 offseason

Botts is also responsible for the Skinner trade & re-signing

And he drafted Dahlin, & Samuelsson & Cozens & UPL



A LOT of the success we’re starting to have is bc of Botts
