R_Dudley Posted December 4, 2017 Report Share Posted December 4, 2017 Hmmm, looks like roster fillers. Who was it in the Moulson thread that said XGMTM should have done short contracts and RFA's for the tank years. If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck is it going the way of another makeover ? Now I am interested to see what else JBOT is going to do. Hell the hockey isn't entertaining so stay tuned for the next episode of "As the Sabres turn".

BuffalOhio Posted December 4, 2017 Report Share Posted December 4, 2017 If he's an addition of speed, it's fine by me. I can't believe how slllllooooowwwww this team is. Not to mention that they can't connect a single pass cleanly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was me, and yes, I think we're doing another makeover. I can't see Botterill committing to any cap mistakes. Which is why I think guys like Kane and Reinhart are probably gone. He isn't going to get Kane to sign for a price he likes. Sam Reinhart is going to want more in RFA that he's probably interested in giving. So trade them away.

French Collection Posted December 4, 2017 Report Share Posted December 4, 2017 I don't think he's fast necessarily, just faster than Moulson. That's an improvement. He's also a fraction of Matty's cap hit, if they can swing a creative retirement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidc3000 Posted December 4, 2017 Report Share Posted December 4, 2017 Wilson was on the roster in 2016, but did not play in the playoff. Maybe that counts? Maybe for Botterill it does but it really doesn’t. His own bio on NHL.com said he was out due to an ankle injury for the SCF so his name was never placed on the cup the first time.

miles Posted December 4, 2017 Report Share Posted December 4, 2017 sometimes a single player can make a world of difference. i am not saying that will happen here, but it can. before i got married i was a huge baseball fan. i loved the red sox and never missed a game (almost literally, i missed like 5 in the whole season). in 2004 the red sox were a good team but were missing something, and they really could not string together a lot of wins. the trade deadline comes and they get orlando cabrerra. all of a sudden they seemed to click. orlando cabrerra was the spark the team needed. he wasnt anything special really, but they did much better when he joined the team. i am hoping that is the case here. Probably not, but i am still hopeful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabre fan Posted December 4, 2017 Report Share Posted December 4, 2017 No he’s an NHL player. Criscuolo was sent down and Moulson waived. Not sure what you mean about ERod...he was called up at 9:29 this morning from Rochester Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GASabresIUFAN Posted December 4, 2017 Report Share Posted December 4, 2017 The Sabres are better today then they were yesterday on paper. Erod, had he not gotten hurt, would have made the team out of camp. Wilson is a young faster and better player then Moulson at this point. This is just the beginning. I have zero problem with Jbot getting some of his players here. His players played for a annual contender and multi-Cup winning franchise, a franchise Jbot had a significant hand in keeping stocked with talent. TM’s guys, from Ottawa, have won exactly nothing. I also agree with the idea that Wilson is depth to avoid bringing up guys from Rochester. It’s pretty clear Jbot wants to keep the group intact as best he can so that they make a run in the playoffs. Remember that Josefson is also hurt; so with Moulson gone are replacing two forwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudacek Posted December 4, 2017 Report Share Posted December 4, 2017 Judging from the limited two goals I've seen, he seems like faster, more physical Moulson Sorry, but isn’t every NHL left wing faster and more physical than Moulson?

bcsaberks Posted December 4, 2017 Report Share Posted December 4, 2017 (edited) Triggers Mike Wilson, #4. Was not fast. Anyways, go on JBot. Hopefully just getting started. Edited December 4, 2017 by bcSaberks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LGR4GM Posted December 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2017 Not sure what you mean about ERod...he was called up at 9:29 this morning from RochesterHe means Wilson. You don't trade a pick to put a player you just got on waivers. That's just stupid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rasmus_ Posted December 4, 2017 Report Share Posted December 4, 2017 He's better than Moulson, so I'm good with it from that suspect. Other than that, it's just a small patch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
