Tick tock Jason. Are we actually making a push or just wasting cap space for no reason?

North Buffalo is having himself a day lol

It's true though. We've been trying to figure out all season what, exactly, Botterill wanted to see from this team this year. It's been really hard to tell what is going on.

So that confirms that. Simmonds thinks the Sabres are making a push. Gonna need more than this though.

I'd do it

I will note that this trade ends up being really weird if Botterill does nothing else today.

That would be interesting

I'm expecting Botterill to stand pat with the defense. I don't think anyone is heading out.

The question now becomes: what next? I don't think they have to move anyone out since NJ retained salary.

It's a move you make if you're trying to make the playoffs. He's a rental on a bad cap hit, but it's a vote of confidence from Botterill unless he trades a bunch of good pieces out now and it just turns into a cap dump for no reason.

Sweet!

It's what it's going to cost and we'll be glad we did it.

Sam's deal is gonna look so good in comparison.

Yikes, 7 year deal is not great.

That's a nice move for Philly.

That would be cool.

It's a nice gamble for Carolina though, I think.

That's pretty darn good.

It'll be interesting to see the return for Pageau. They certainly did the right thing trading Karlsson.

He's a little better than Vesey. Not by a lot, but he is better. He's a nice piece on the Avs who already have plenty of offense.

CaP GeNI uS JaSOn BotTERilL

That's a NICE trade for Colorado. Wow.

lol good luck with that Toronto

My hope for today is that Botterill, who thus far has been bad at asset management, doesn't decide that it is suddenly his priority and starts selling off every FA this team has for picks. I would prefer he make no moves at all than make moves that would damage this team down the stretch. Any move he does make must make the team better today and next season.
