Toronto’s players are both 3rd liners. We need a 2RW as well as C. This is obviously an atrocious trade for Sabres. I think trading Montour for Kapanen with a small add from us is more likely

Botteril was truly the worst GM in the NHL and easily the worst in Sabres history. I am so happy he’s gone.

Do not trade Sam but rather sign him to a long term extension at reasonable money. Trade Risto and/or Montour to get Kapanen and a 2C. We will obviously need to add. (2 separate trades) resign Larsson and Girgensons for cheap. Keep GLO line intact. Mitts stays in Rochester for a long time until he dominates Do not trade 2020 first round pick

I disagree. Not until the economy of the NHL and the oil markets improves.

Meanwhile Edmonton is much improved as they have hired a competent experienced GM and Buffalo continues its path of futility. It has nothing to do with the tank. If you hire competent GMs good things happen. We have 4 incompetent hires in a row. 4 executives who were first timers. Lafontaine, Murray, Botteril, and Adams. This is the recipe for failure.

High end quantity. Chabot, Tkachuk, Pageau, Duclair, Brown. top prospects Brannstrom and Batherson. 2 picks in top 9 this year. While none of these have the potential of Eichel or Dahlin, they are a much deeper team that is poised to have success in the future.

The Senators will have have much better talent than us after this year’s draft

I just can’t see Jack being happy with another total novice with no GM experience being named GM

At least the Stock market is taking the news of Botterils firing well.

I guarantee that Adams is the lowest paid GM in the NHL. This is another move that smacks of cheapness.

Firing Jbot is obviously a great move, but not hiring an experienced GM is another critical error by the Pegulas.

I heard Botteril wanted to sign Wayne Simmonds to 5 year 25 million and Pegulas balked.

I just spooged.

One of my liberal friends who attended a bunch of protests was just diagnosed with Covid. Prior to the protests he worked from home and was very good about social distancing. Scary.

Number of cases is not that helpful a statistic. . It is the percentage of positive cases that is more useful. Also death rate and number of hospitalizations are helpful in tracking progress.

This is just further evidence of JBot’s total and complete incompetence. You should never lose a high quality asset for nothing.

If Atlanta, a much larger and more affluent city, can lose a team twice , Buffalo could easily lose a team. We all need to be very thankful for the Pegulas and their desire to keep the teams in Buffalo.

Askarov at #8 is a horrible idea. We need competent goaltending now and more high end forwards.

Mojo at 2C is a terrible idea. He is a 3LW. This Botteril strategy has already failed. Mitts and TT on 3rd line is another terrible idea but I expect Botteril to make stupid moves like that.

Chiarelli is an infinitely better GM than Botteril.

I’m sure that’s Botterils plan but I have not seen enough of Kahun to call him a 2nd line player.

Unfortunately he’s keeping the same assistants. Olofsson doesn’t belong on the top line. He should be on 2nd line and Skinner should be back with Jack. We have no other 2nd line players. That is on Botteril.

How much blame does RK deserve for our pathetic special teams?

Thompson can’t go to Rochester without passing waivers so he’s definitely on the team. I don’t want Simmons or Vesey. I would rather resign Lsrsson and Girgensons. Mitts belongs in Rochester. Johansson belongs on 3rd line LW
