Tired of talk, Sabres’ Botterill demands action to become winner

‘”When you finish where we did, we have to look at everything,” Botterill said in KeyBank Center. “That means looking at even changing up our core players.”‘

Mike Harrington: Anger is awesome, but now Botterill has to match words with actions

‘There were a lot of takeaways from these 20 minutes with the GM. He needs to get more speed and skill up front. wants to see much better goaltending, knows he’s going to draft a super prospect no matter where the lottery balls land. A big one was that it would been worth paying good money to be a fly on the wall during his exit interviews with players. It was pretty easy to read some of the tea leaves scattered behind…’.

Sabres Notebook: Contract updates; Oglevie signed; Swedes coming

‘The Sabres’ other notable restricted free agent is Sam Reinhart, who tied for the team lead with 25 goals. “I have not spoken to his agent yet about a contract,” Botterill said. “We felt where we were in the standings, it wasn’t a situation where we wanted to talk contracts during the year. Craig Oster certainly has quite a few players on our team, and I’ll be reaching out to him in the next couple months.”‘

Sabres GM Jason Botterill ticked off over poor season

‘“I’ve been here for one year and I was pretty pissed off and upset throughout the year,” a visibly agitated Botterill said this afternoon inside KeyBank Center. “I guess I could be articulate, but I’ll say it sucks we won’t be watching live playoff hockey right now. It’ll (be) just all on TV.”’

Sabres notes: GM Jason Botterill supports coach Phil Housley

‘“One-hundred percent Phil Housley will be our coach next year,” Botterill said Wednesday inside KeyBank Center. “I have certainly enjoyed working with Phil over the past year here. I think the way I want to put our team together, the way he wants to play is a good mix.”’

Changing losing culture top offseason priority for Sabres GM

‘“I don’t want to hear how disappointed they are. I want to hear what’s going to change,” Botterill said. “It just can’t be about words. We have to have better results.”’

Sabres sign Notre Dame forward Oglevie to 2-year contract

‘Oglevie will complete the spring term at school, before his contract kicks in for the start of next season.’

An angry Jason Botterill talked about this past Sabres season

‘Many around Buffalo think that changing coaches every season is the way to success. Jason Botterill doesn’t share that belief and he said, “Yes, 100 percent, Phil Housley will be our coach next year. I’ve certainly enjoyed working with Phil. I think the way that I want to put the team together and the way he wants to play is a good mix and he’ll certainly be here as our coach next year.”’

The Sabres add a college free agent

‘Oglevie gets a two-year entry-level contract. He will not go to Rochester and will stay at Notre Dame to finish up school.’

Sabres GM Jason Botterill: We deserved to finish 31st

‘”When you finish 31st, you pretty much need to improve in every category, let’s be honest,” Botterill added. “We’re going to get a good player, wherever we pick in the draft, whether it’s one through four, that will certainly help our situation. But I would say the couple things I really want to improve on is our team speed up front. We have to add more skill and I thought that came with Casey Mittelstadt. And we just have to get faster on the wings.”‘
