Samson's Flow Posted December 4, 2017 Report Share Posted December 4, 2017 I would guess that is a prelude to more things to come. Bringing in Botterill's guys and moving out the players that don't fit what JB/PH want to do. Whatever that is. :bag: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doohickie Posted December 4, 2017 Report Share Posted December 4, 2017 I'm a little discouraged by JBot bringing in a former Pen. It seems like he's making the same mistake XGMTM made in that he prefers players from his old club that he's familiar with. On the other hand, is Wilson AHL fodder to backfill players about to be moved up to the Sabres? Who's next on the waiver wire? Larsson?

pastajoe Posted December 4, 2017 Report Share Posted December 4, 2017 Botts following the Bills model of picking up Carolina cast offs that the GM is familiar with. Swapping deck chairs on the Titanic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand, is Wilson AHL fodder to backfill players about to be moved up to the Sabres? Who's next on the waiver wire? Larsson? I have yet to figure out why Larsson gets lopped in with Moulson, Griffith, Criscuolo, etc. He's an NHL caliber defensive/agitating forward. Perfect for the 4th line, suitable for the 3rd in the time being. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definately seems like J-BOT is going to try to keep the Amerks together for the year and fill in the Sabres with pieces until their ready to make the jump.

I'm guessing he's meant for the big club if a draft pick was spent on him. He's clearly Moulsons replacement. I think more moves will happen in the next couple weeks. JBOTs apparently has seen enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a fan, you just have to hope that your team's GM likes the right players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perfect for the 4th line, suitable for the 3rd in the time being. I haven't seen much defensive/agitating action from him this year. He's just another interchangeable part until they can upgrade. Rodriguez can do the same with more speed and offense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Aud Smell Posted December 4, 2017 Report Share Posted December 4, 2017 So. The Concept of Larsson now? What I thought he would be was valuable. What he is, far less so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C'mon he'll fit right in ... in 17 games with the Wings, 0 points so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabel79 Posted December 4, 2017 Report Share Posted December 4, 2017 Interesting to note: He may well be a cap casualty for Detroit, if they're trying to make something else happen or call somebody up. Wow is that team screwed until (possibly) next year. Franzen's LTIR is the only thing keeping them compliant... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
