Well, we ask for secondary scoring, we got a couple. Time for the flying J's to put it away.

"Help is coming" Sabres GM Jason Botterill, late December 2018

Agreed. And I'd gladly pay the pick price if it were in a package for a player of Seguin's caliber.

Outside of the Boston affair I hadn't seen an event since his time in Dallas being sounded. What I have seen is him being somewhat consistently in the top group of the leagues scorers.

While the implications of "what if it were the Sabres CEO that said this" are fun to explore, I would like your view on Seguin as a possibility from Botterill's standpoint. 9.5 mil, 8 yrs, is a slight less than the Toronto Tavares signing, and with Jack at 10 mil, I see a comparison there for a 1-2 center punch at a reduced cost given I project Mathews at 11 to 12.5 range on his next contract. It may be anywhere from 2.5 to 4 million in available cap. If I'm Botterill, I'm on the phone. Your thoughts?

Well, if he was conveying both the owners and his own feelings in that horse....**** comment, I wonder how long before Seguin just has had enough of it. He most definitely would be the center I would like Bots to inquire on. His play is exactly the 2nd center we need. Interesting thought is all.

I was hoping Botterill would go the controlled player route. But yea, deadline day may fizzle for entertainment.

The magic of Christmas ?

Tage Thompson needs to watch every single full game video of Dave Andreychuk's career until he has every second memorized. And he needs to be roommates with the actual Dave Andreychuk for the entire season.

Reported by a Twitter guy at the game, RJ out on a stretcher. Looking to verify....

I heard it to. Then that slurring.........my mind is racing right now.

RJ, oh no....... I remember when he took over.

Exactly

Stop the cute passing on the PP, shoot the dam puck

Once again, the lack of finishing did them in. Bots has work to do.

Please win this one boys. Do it for the Gipper!!!! Go Sabres

Admittedly, I do hope we get to keep all the 1st rounders. I'm excited.

Ohhhh, "The Berglund Affair".........sounds so Pelican Breif(ish)...... The intrigue, the mystery.... Can't wai5 for the book, then the movie trilogy ?

Wilson: The volleyball? With red hand print smiley face companion for Tage Thompson on road trips......

Looks like we're keeping that 3rd rdr. Would have preferred Sheary with 20 or more goals or over 40 pts to be honest.

While true technically, it is well known according to some the team would not take this action unless it was mutual. Guess it something we'll find out shortly, but I don't see Bots as the type to get in to a pissing match with a player. The Pegula's themselves are trying to build an organization that accommodates players.

Watching the Penguins at the Capitals now. Brassard doesn't seem like anything special as a 2C. I wouldn't trade anything significant for him, he looks more of a 3C, the role he's playing now.

With the unconditional waivers being done on the day the trade freeze takes effect, any theories as to why now? Also, the unexplainable way Phil is playing Sobotka in a variety of roles is curious. Is there something larger at play here we are missing? Cap clear Berglund to allow him to pursue other avenues, showcasing Sobotka perhaps?

Well, we have some cap space breathing room. Now, about that 2C situation.......
