If Botterill had the guts he could get ONE second line player to give this team a chance at making a run. They've been up and down, but they're resilient, which is a big improvement from last year. They have managed to put win streaks together.
I'm assuming it's because he wanted the cap space and roster spot to bring up some kids from Roc to get a look at them before they get to the playoffs. Or maybe Tage is ready to come off LTIR. Nope.
