Sabres GM Jason Botterill: ‘We don’t have to make a trade’

‘”We like the situation we’re in right now,” Botterill said. “We don’t have to make a trade to become cap compliant. We’ve gone over a zillion different scenarios. As much as the last couple weeks have been difficult weeks going through the salary arbitration process, what’s great about it is we have all the contracts done now. There’s no holdouts. We can focus in on how we’re going to get things going, and we’ll continue to have discussions with other teams on, ‘Hey, is there a trade that makes sense for us?’”‘

Botterill: ‘We have to have four lines that can contribute’

‘”We understand that we can have the high-end scorers. Jack [Eichel], Sam [Reinhart] and Jeff [Skinner] all proved that last year, but we have to have four lines that can contribute. In the middle of August, I can’t tell you exactly how the whole lineup is going to be, but we feel that we’ve at least given Ralph [Krueger] different opportunities and different options for once the season starts.”‘

Botterill talks salary cap during Instigators appearance

‘The Sabres are set up to have plenty of financial flexibility next summer, with 26 contracts expiring after this season. Fifteen players are scheduled to become restricted free agents; 11 can become unrestricted free agents.’
