They clearly made a mistake in hiring Botteril who has proved to be incompetent. However Botteril was highly regarded at the time he was hired. I think the lesson is never to hire a first time GM.

I would only give up a lot if we could extend him prior. Risto, Nylander and next years 2nd rounder would be close.

Ecklund has Sabres going after Taylor Hall. I know he's not a reliable source but Hall would be sweet.

They are amazing owners and the sole reason why the Bills are still in Buffalo. They have poured a lot of money into both franchises and into the city as well. They are classy individuals who make us proud. Sure they have made some mistakes in hiring presidents, GMs and coaches but at least the Bills are heading in the right direction. I'm sure they will get it right with the Sabres as well. I'm sure they will build or renovate beautiful facilities for both teams with a lot of their own money. Be patient and very thankful.

Toronto will not accept that. Kadri would fit a better role than Nylander and for less money

Kadri and Kappanen for Risto and Girgensons. Who says no?

There is no way in hell Tampa is trading Cirelli. I think they would move their first round pick or other lesser prospects.

I dont think anyone is writing off TT, but it shows Bots incompetence to not have TT in the AHL last year and Mitts in college still, since neither were ready for the NHL

Erod will not be on the 4th line. It will be Okposo with Zemgus and Larsson

Botterils plan is to have Zemgus as our second line center. ?

I think were taking Zegras

She's the hottest owner in all of professional sports. What more do you need to know?

Tampa only wants right handed defenseman

TT should play in Rochester and KO is a 4th liner at best.

Who is the other 1st line winger?

Absolutely not for McCabe but I would do Scandella. . Vesey is a 3rd liner at best.

That 3rd line sounds fine. Who is on the second line?

I think Winnipeg would do Ristolainen for Trouba. They need a right D and Ristolainen has a decent cap number. Sabres would have to have a contract in place before the trade.

Sabres are interested in Zucker per LeBrun. What would it take to get him?

I totally agree with the order. I hope we take Cozens in this scenario.

The Skinner deal was great. The Montour deal has not been determined.

Maybe you should get a tatoo of Botteril's face so you can remember all the good times.

Because we still have the same incompetence at GM. How can anyone trust Botteril to rebuild this team?

I think Toronto would be interested in Risto. Kadri and Kapanen for Risto. I think I would do that trade.

Skinner Eichel and Kessel would be a defensive liability. We would probably have to trade Ristolainen to Winnipeg to get Trouba.
