Sure, let's waste ANOTHER season! Question for all of you OK with this: why weren't you all upset that the Bills didn't give Peterman 4 seasons as the starter? Botts is the Nathan Peterman of hockey GM's: completely incompetent and in way over his head. Why not go out and hire ***** Milbury or Chia as consultants to produce the shittiest front office in the history of North American pro sports.

You can also use it at the horrible and overpriced concession stand to buy food you by law wouldn't be allowed to give to the homeless (Thanks Jeremy Jacobs, shame of the city of Buffalo!).

They are literally the least successful NHL owners of the post 1991 era (Atlanta has an argument but I don't think they had a single ownership group that lasted 9 consecutive seasons). When the team misses the playoffs yet again next season because the Pegulas absolutely refuse to ever learn from their endless mistakes and midblowing terrible decisions the Sabres will have officially become the single worst franchise in the modern history of the sport. 10 seasons, no playoffs, no season even close. There is sadly a part of me that wouldn't mind seeing the Bills go 1-15 this season so that maybe people will finally give them the raking over the coals they richly deserve for turning what was once one of the most proud and respected franchises in the league (before they took over the Sabres had something like the 3rd best overall record of all time behind the Habs and Flyers) and turned them into a sad sack dumpster fire laughingstock. This franchise has not even played a single meaningful or important game of any kind in 9 years. To quote Richard Pryor: " How long? How long must this ***** go on???".

It's not OK because doing so is yet another act of malfeasance by our stupid and incompetent owners. It's another expression of their complete and utter contempt for the fans of this team.

Tl:dr- Botts got rid of a unicorn and put himself in a position where he need to find another unicorn. If Botts traded Jack straight up for Milan Lucic would that be enough to get his defenders to admit that he sucks and needs to go?

Problem solved!!!!!!!!!!!

He is going to score 20 per game. #TeamMagicGiraffe

Know that you recently turned 102 but would you be interested in taking the job?

I just acquired a sacred and holy relic on eBay for $3.25:

Unfortunately he has an abysmal track record when it comes to evaluating talent (seriously, go look at all his acquisitions. It's pretty much a disaster). Even worse is that he's been just as bad at cap management.

Happy Red Bull Wedding Day!!!!!!!!!!!!! I WAS THERE!!!!

I don't understand how ANYONE can be a Yankees fan.

Expect to see a more physical and hard hitting game from Tage this season:

At this point I'd settle for Buh Buh Ray and D-Von Dudley being brought in to run things.

Given this organization's (and the current GM's) lengthy and disastrous track record of mishandling prospects everyone would be wise to greet this news with a very healthy dose of skepticism.

That was years ago before he was completely exposed and his value fell off a cliff.

If Risto had any value he would've been long gone by now. Teams know what he is: a bad negative value player. Nobody is touching him unless you practically give him away. When a guy like Brian Burke (who is just about the least progressive/most old school hockey mind out there) says he'd never touch the guy that's all you need to know.

Creating a scenario that pointlessly screws over 2 teams for no good or logical reason whatsoever is so Peak NHL.

Here is the problem: Teams that have really good #2 centers (even teams with depth to where the player is playing on the 3rd or even 4th line) don't give them away. The only way you can acquire one via trade is to find a GM who you can take advantage of because they are so inept and in over their head (like Botts). So we need the guy who is the mark other teams go to when they want to sucker someone to find someone who is an even bigger sucker than he is. Those aren't good odds.
