Yep. I don’t like urgency and Botterill in the same sentence. With the impending bonus, there was also an urgency to trade ROR too.

While I also can agree with his perception (it’s his after all), I just don’t think it’s appropriate to put it into words and have it published. And dragging ROR into it too. That’s just really poor form.

This is disgusting. Should we continue discussing dudes going through puberty?

I didn’t know about the NMC. So, he should go back to Jack’s wing. I think the experiment of getting cute by spreading potential scoring between lines should come to an end. They are spread thin and both lines have suffered as a result.

Yes, I see that now. Misread it before my coffee.

What I’m saying is that maybe this team needs better players. I already see some of them as holes in the roster. We need better players. Maybe we package one of our players and a prospect/pick for someone who can get the job done. Or, package 2 roster players for better quality. We have quantity, we are lacking quality. For example, and maybe this is an exception, but do you think the Blues created a hole when they traded multiple roster players for O’Reilly?

Ok, if we are satisfied with “potential”, then there really shouldn’t be any complaining on here. We can wait it out for the next few years, as we have for the last decade.

We have plenty of people we could trade, almost a roster full of them. Someone has to find value in a roster that started 8-2. I think we have maybe 3 people on the roster, or in the entire organization, who are untouchable. Beyond that, maybe it’s time to shake things up. We don’t have much to lose. I understand trading someone on the roster makes a “hole”. But, the way I see it, it just makes an already established hole a little deeper. Our top line doesn’t produce the offense it should. Put Skinner back with Jack or trade him. Drop Reino down to the 2nd line, or trade him.

He couldn’t complete a single pull up at the combine. So, no.

It’s a curse. We know there’s an old graveyard under Rich stadium. What about the arena? Was it lifted by moving out of the Aud or was that actually a decent parcel of land? http://www.buffalospree.com/Buffalo-Spree/June-2012/The-Bills-Curse/

Let’s hope VO didn’t buy a house. He’s good, but given his age, I wonder how high his ceiling truly is.

I see no reason to trade away any of our D. It’s evident that we need quality depth. I had to say it, but McCabe could go down any game (as history has shown). Pilut can go to Rochester. Bogo can stay in IR.

Maybe Krueger thought this was a 10 game tournament.

It’s hard to tell at what ankle his thigh is pointing, but looks horrible nonetheless. The interesting thing is that in the pick up thread, he doesn’t seem to be making any grimace.

Here’s another pick of the ankle: https://mobile.twitter.com/mricekoa/status/1186611522585292800

A great GM would consult with his HC and realize all the players above are replaceable. Move on and replace them with other low-cost role players. While all don’t need to be thrown out with the bath water, we have a developing pipeline of players that should be able to take their place. A team should have a core of must-have players. Beyond that handful, you need to be judicious with your money and look for value elsewhere.

Do you think Sam has a similar role as Sobotka, to play sound defense while Eichel and VO light it up?

I wasn’t passing any judgement on you, more so to the guy who wrote the tweet. It was unfair and lacked any interpretable value. That’s all.

the sample size is way too small to draw any conclusions. Are we really going to conclude anything based on a trend of the last 3 games? A good comparator would be to look at other Sabre’s D during this same period. My guess they haven’t been playing well either over the last 3 game stretch.

They have Cody Eakin coming back for Risto or McCabe. No thanks. Eakin certainly isn’t a 2C and I think it makes more sense to keep Mitts in at 3C.

I still have mixed feelings about night mode. I like the darker background with lighter font color. I’m just not sure I like black or very dark backgrounds. To me, the point is to prevent the lighting up a dark room with a phone screen. So, there’s different ways to accomplish this besides black background and white text. I wonder how a dark blue background with yellow font would look like.

With cheap housing prices, these players make enough money to buy a house in both cities. Maybe Botts was giving them investment advice. They can rent it out while they are in Roch.

He would’ve if he saw Joki and VO involved in these types of shenanigans.

Assuming that we couldn’t trade Montour because we only recently acquired him, Alex.

Don’t let that blind you to the possibility though. If he’s the one of the 2 that gets you Ehlers, then it’s bon voyage. I wouldn’t trade him for anything less than a 60 point player though.
