First bold is exactly my point. Second bold how do you know that? He made a couple small comments at the end of the season, it seems obvious he and Botts have had some discussions about moving on. He's been here like 5 friggen years of losing. Sabres brought in 3 new RHD. It seems obvious Jason is still in on trade talks. I don't even think it would be out of line Risto questioning why he's still here publicly. I'm glad this is Risto's makeup but it's not uncommon for Athletes of any sport to say what's on their mind rather than the company line ya know?
