  1. Bots needs to accept responsibility for the goaltending mess. Our goaltending is just as bad as last year. Bots moves at the position have failed.
  2. What are thay saying specifically? Is it related to talent acquisition or salary cap management?
  3. My dream scenario ROR scores a hat trick and we get blown out 6-0. Both Bots and Housley are fired after the game. An experienced respected GM is hired who hires an experienced respected coach and the Sabres lose the rest of the games win the lottery draft Hughes and go deep into the playoffs next year. A guy can dream. Why not?
  4. Ok let’s hear 5 worse trades in Sabres history. I’m not sure it’s fair to count Hasek and trades done because the owner didn’t want to spend money
  5. We seem too have a lot of 5th and 6th line players. Too bad we don’t have second line players. Problem solved ?
  6. I’d settle for good players instead of trash. We have so much garbage on our lineup it’s absurd. Sobotka and Okposo are just as bad as Moulson. Thompson also plays a lot of minutes. He belongs in the AHL.
  7. It’s obvious that ROR recognized that we had incompetent coaching and GM. That’s why he wanted out. He wants to win. Unfortunately the future looks bleak here.
  8. If JBOT was a competent GM he would never have acquiesced to ROR trade demands. He would have improved the team around him and hired a competent coach to make ROR happy and produce a winner.
  9. I’m excited to see what he can do. It will be interesting to see who his line mates are.
  10. You know LSD is still illegal. How are we getting the 2nd overall pick? No way is Kakko ready to start on the top line. Bogo as a top pair??? Better than average goaltending-Is the Dominator coming out of retirement??? Who is the LW we are getting for Ristolainen?
  11. I don't see any help coming from Rochester for next year. Some fans are expecting Olofsson to come in and light it up. I think that is unrealistic. Unless Botts makes a huge trade or an impact free agent signing, I don't see any way we are a contender. GASabresfan who is the new #2 center you are hoping for for next year?
  12. I’m not optimistic even assuming we resign Skinner. I expect Dahlin, Mitts and Montour to improve and Pominville to be gone. I don’t see us competing for a playoff spot.
  13. A lot has been added Dahlin, Bogo Mitts McCabe playing most of season. Botts has been atrocious and will grossly overpay Skinner now to save his job.
  14. Bots is responsible for this soft cupcake team. Getting rid of Kane was just as bad as getting rid of ROR and hirin Housley
  15. Why would Skinner want to sign up for 8 more years of this? He could go to a contender. He should at least wait and see what his options are in free agency. He’s never been to the playoffs and god knows this franchise isn’t getting there any time soon.
  16. He proposed such great trades that were always in the Sabres favor and even when the Sabres made a terrible trade Like the ROR trade he made the return sound like a collection of current and future superstars. His unbridled optimism is sorely missed.
  17. I think the losing may have gotten to him. He had such faith in Murray and Botterill to make great trades and transform the team into a contender. His column seems to have disappeared from hockey buzz.
  18. I have zero confidence in Botts ability to build a winner. The ROR trade will go down as one of tf the worst trades in Sabre’s history.
  19. I hope you’re wrong. Currently we only have Bogo and Risto as a mild physical presence. We are no more physical than the figure skaters ?
  20. ROR wins Lady Byng Lehner wins Vezina Kane wins Stanley Cup Should this come to pass, Botts should be fired at the awards banquet.
  21. Bots got rid of Kane a tough goal scoring power forward. Boy we could use a guy like that. A physical presence. His contract will look like peanuts compared to Skinners contract.
  22. The Sabres could easily force his hand into choosing LTIR by sending him down to the minors like they did with Moulson. Given the choice of the getting concussed in the ECHL or being at home with the family and not having any risk of injury he would choose LTIR. I suspect something like this transpires this offseason especially if we need the cap space for a big free agent signing.
