Derrico Posted June 21, 2019 Report Share Posted June 21, 2019 So a guy with the username E4 (isn't that an Eklund term) throws something out from a post on another message board and everyone is freaking out thinking it's true? Just catching up on what I missed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I go by negative inference: if it is true that the Sabres are trying to get Vesey, then I do not trust Botterill to have seen these data. If he has, then I do not trust him to recognize their meaning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just catching up on what I missed. And speaking of that guy who I refuse to mention. How is it, after all these years, people are still visiting that website and mentioning his made up rumors? You want to go there for laughs, ok, but come on, the guy was debunked almost 15 years ago at this point. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's way too much potential for a big trade I'm focusing on. This next big move will really sway my thoughts on JBotts. Next 48 hours are going to be critical.

I'm not sold he's a failure or anything, I just think his first two seasons probably should have burned his benefit of the doubt. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do realize that a) other player has to agree b) the money will likely be significantly more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the consensus was that he only screwed up one trade, and there's not consensus on whether he was forced to make it..? But, seriously, even JBot must know trading anything more than a 7th for Vesey is stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A) Nope, didn't know players had to agree to sign contracts B) Oh no... more money on team with almost no one signed past next year Still better than trading for Vesey. Not to mention Vesey makes 2.275 now and has only this year on his deal meaning if you want him for more than a 1 year rental you are going to have to... pay him what? Double or roughly what Ferlund will be getting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that part of the issue is not so much how many trades he has screwed up on; it is more on how badly he botched it. (Berglund I can forgive; Sobotka, no way.)

Although I think the trade that shall not be named was a disaster, I'm purely focused on place in the standings. By that metric, there's no evidence he knows how to improve a hockey team. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that's a fair metric. I fail to see how this translates into Botterill seeing value in trading for Vesey, unless you think part of the reason for the team's place in the standings is because Botterill is an idiot. And I sincerely mean that, no snark. Because, if we do trade anything for Vesey, I will fully and completely agree that Botterill is a legit idiot.
