Just found out Botterill is trying to convince Benning to take Bogo for Baertschi. Oh brother.

Claim baertschi and then trade bogo to them?

Don't know how it would work honestly, i'm not to smart in that area. I don't know what there is to convince, Baertschi is owed this year and next at 3.6 per. I'm failing to see the convince part, but then again, not a huge market for Bogo as of now.

In the middle of a snow storm in his third career start. Didn’t hear from you when he put up 300 last week in Houston though.

Snow wasn’t a factor- look at Mahomes
Stats. If anything it makes it harder to defend because of footing (offensive guy knows where he’s going defensive guy doesn’t). Watched most of the game, he has a strong arm but was overwhelmed today. He’ll turn out to be good

I'd let Bogo sit and rot either in the press box or dress him and let him sit the bench the whole game without playing.

Now is the time to start using picks to acquire established talent.

Botterill has been doing that already?

Can Baertschi play RW?

Getting Bogo's salary and attitude off the team to a western team would be a nice win. Unless Baertschi is another LW....

It's time for JB to make a Gratton for Briere rip off or a Keith Ballard (I forget what else) for Chris Drury trade. He may have made one for Nylander for Joker but he needs to get a steal for the forward ranks. Use all these scouts and find a hidden gem.

Mahomes put up 340, it's not like the Bills Eagles game when Wentz went for 172. It wasn't the weather. It's damn hard to play in Arrowhead.

So I need Brees and the Bills D to outscore Michael Thomas by 30.3 points. Going with Brees over Allen because they're playing the Colts, and to steal points from Thomas. Thanks a lot Cooper and Edelman, scumbags, 5.8 total points between the 2 of them.

It was Rhett Warrener for Drury, wasn't it?

Botterill doesn't need to even rip anyone off. Just trade excess parts and picks for an actually really good player. They can punch their ticket in this division if Botterill commits to the team. Spend good assets for a good player. No more Sheary trades. Get someone good

Miller and a couple seconds or a 1st plus a Pekar should get something very good

That's all everyone ever says on this site, we can't take him, bad contract, to much per year, etc, etc, etc, same s$$t each day here.

You've been consistent with questioning how many big money players they can have on the team when the topic is Hall. Johansen makes $8M per for the next five seasons. Wouldn't similar logic apply to him as well?

From what I understand the Pegula's spend quite a bit in scouting, use it, hence the need and the team's need.

Darcy had a lot of flaws but he found some talent in trades when he decided to pull the trigger.

8 mill is different then 10 or 11, big difference.

Botterill has apparently amended his corner the market ideology to include left wingers along with defensemen.

Jack, Skinner, Reinhart, and Johansen would make a combined $34M, and that's assuming Reinhart comes in at $7M.

Is that forward core of 4 good enough?

Questionable, and they will need quality players on cheap deals to support them, especially with what Dahlin and Olofsson will cost on their next deals.

Yes that is solid, and Dahlin isn't worth 10 mill if you are thinking that.
