WildCard Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 I'm happy for now. Botterill seems like a complete package. Let's see who his coach is first. Murray seemed the same way, and then hired Byslma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rasmus_ Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 Like a lady on the street and a freak in the sheets QFT, That was very spot on! He's also got ties to the organization and seems like a tireless worker. (Similar to Murray, just not as brash) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildCard Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 (edited) @BuffNewsVogl Follow More Penguins GM Jim Rutherford said on @TheInstigators that the Sabres called him about Jason Botterill before they fired Tim Murray.

I-90 W Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 I honestly don't think that we could have gotten a better GM. TM was good for the time period he was here, but now that the dust is settling, ill go so far as saying last year may have been a neseccary birth pain towards the greater good.

PASabreFan Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 You're on board with this hire? So that means Terry is doing *it* right by hiring this new GM? I like the new positive PA ! Maybe. BTW it's not meddling. The owner has to hire his GM, absent a president to do it, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I kept that in bold cause I thought it was that interesting Very interesting. Who made the call? In hindsight, Murray's "If I'm back" should have gotten a lot more play. He clearly knew he was on the rops. Instead, the ridiculous "coffee comment" got all the attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he knew he was going to fire Murray until after the exit interviews; in fact he's said those interviews are what made the decision for him. What I find very interesting about that tweet, is that Terry was absolutely adamant on stopping leaks within the organizations, and was a huge deal for him. Here it comes out two weeks later that he knew his guy from the very start, and nobody saw this coming at all. That's interesting to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derrico Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 Very nice. You missed former Sabre and current Pen, which I think rank highly for Terry (along with young). But I can't hold that against Botterill. I truly feel good about this hire. There's not much to be skeptical or negative about. For now lol. Holy Christ. This is all I need to read to know this is a good hire :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's interesting to me I think Terry knew weeks before, as did Murray from his comments. There where basic goals this year to be met by GM and coach and they where not achieved. Then the Jack leak happened. Then the exit interviews went very bad for coach and GM. Fired. No remorse. He had the fore thought to hope for the best and plan for the worse. Sounds like a good owner.

WildCard Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 Whaley and Murray had a ton of similarities. Interestingly enough, Pegula complained about not being involved in either decision to hire / resign / keep those GMs. When he claims he would be involved, he hired two vastly different GMs, but two who are incredibly similar as well.
