I was good with firing him 2 minutes into his press conference, announcing him as the permanent replacement. 3 DAYS AFTER BOTTERILL WAS FIRED. Without any extensive search, because our owners were butt hurt that their feelings weren't being listened too. Go to counseling and stay out of HOCKEY OPS.
We just traded Sam Reinhart, we've traded Ristolainen, and we're in the we're trading Eichel front. Hinostraza has put up 112 points in 272 games. Yes, it is not lighting the world on fire. But, I like Hinostroza's game. Shrugs. I didn't say it was life altering. Are you delusional in the sense of where the team is going?
There are still plenty of hodge podge players out there. This is opening day of UFA. All the big spenders go out and spend on their top guys, then the Sabres come in on their dumb deals.
Most of the markets that needed goal tending are done. The only one's really left are Buffalo and Colorado, who ironically have starters on the market. Technically Boston are still in the market. But, this screams Rask re-sign once they get Krejci sorted out.
Well, I'm going for high. Reilly Smith is definitely not the answer. I wouldn't touch any veterans on more than a one year deal. Unless we're flipping.
The only pure center on this list is Paquette, Merkley isn't much of a center, and neither are Kahun and Donato.
It's also a realistic list, based on the fact that we're a laughing stock of an organization at the moment. Why be unrealistic.
