Eleven Posted June 25, 2018 Report Share Posted June 25, 2018 All qualified minus Kasdorf & Antipin? That's how I see it. And I'm not antiAntipin. But there are too many defensemen in the system right now. He sat a lot last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brawndo Posted June 25, 2018 Report Share Posted June 25, 2018 (edited) Per Botterill #Sabres will not qualify Scott Wilson or Victor Antipin More from Joe Yerdon Jason Botterill said again they won’t qualify Robin Lehner. They also will not qualify Victor Antipin or Scott Wilson. Not qualifying Wilson so as to avoid arbitration. Hoping to re-sign on July 1 Edited June 25, 2018 by Brawndo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eleven Posted June 25, 2018 Report Share Posted June 25, 2018 :lol: come on, he's a top six winger We need like an Ultimate JAG Sabre Since 2011 Tournament. I'm betting Wilson would do quite well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doohickie Posted June 25, 2018 Report Share Posted June 25, 2018 Interesting on Wilson. I was surprised when they said he wouldn't receive a qualifying offer. Nothing about that player is remotely interesting. I think you sell the guy short. In every team you need stars but you also need the cogs that make the machine run. Wilson's best asset is that he plays Housley's system well and is very rarely a liability. There are a lot of Sabres that would could lose and replace with someone else and never notice the difference. I think with Wilson the fact that you don't have a guy who is a model of the Housley system and can play on any line would be noticeable in his absence. We need like an Ultimate JAG Sabre Since 2011 Tournament. I'm betting Wilson would do quite well. Okay, I can't disagree with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're going to love that the reason they aren't qualifying him is so that they can pay him more money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eleven Posted June 25, 2018 Report Share Posted June 25, 2018 I'm organizing the tournament. I'll reserve it for the long stretch between July 1st and September Nth. Taking suggestions for division names, e.g., the Jillson Division. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I nominate the Brietenbach (70s), Priestlay (80s), Sutton (90s) I think Priestlay and Sutton are actually worthy of being conference names and not mere division names. I don't remember the other guy.

LGR4GM Posted June 25, 2018 Report Share Posted June 25, 2018 So glad any of the reporters there today could ask Botterill about this... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGR4GM Posted June 25, 2018 Report Share Posted June 25, 2018 (edited) ask and you shall receive, Sabres will not qualify Lehner, Antipin, and Scott Wilson. Wilson's is due to salary arbitration, plan to try and sign him July 1 Matthew BovéVerified account @Matt_Bove 30s30 seconds agoMore For some perspective, here is Jason Botterill discussing his plans with qualifying offers and the plan #Sabres @WKBW Edited June 25, 2018 by Skurk Liger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GASabresIUFAN Posted June 25, 2018 Report Share Posted June 25, 2018 The Wilson decision shows how smart JBot is. Instead if letting a 3rd party decide Wilson’s value and possibly create some hard feelings. Instead sit down with him and reach an agreement both sides will be happy with. If Wilson decides to walk, he is replacable. However, guys like Wilson don’t walk. They stay where they are wanted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a fantastic idea, however, I propose this tournament can't be held until the team makes the playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, I've already got a list of like 29 people. I'm thinking about giving Wilson and Grant first-round byes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudacek Posted June 25, 2018 Report Share Posted June 25, 2018 Did that not also have to qualify Kasdorf? Please tell me they didn’t. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think they only reason they brought him in was because GMTM had the deal basically done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Flagg Posted June 25, 2018 Report Share Posted June 25, 2018 Matt Ellis has to be a divisional name. He lasted far too long as the supreme JAG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eleven Posted June 25, 2018 Report Share Posted June 25, 2018 (edited) Matt Ellis has to be a divisional name. He lasted far too long as the supreme JAG. He's in the contest, so he can't be a division name. Need guys prior to 2011 for the division names. Edited June 25, 2018 by Eleven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
