He is?
I heard him say they've seen Sam more on the wing

I don't think that's the same thing as saying he sees him as a winger

Maybe I read it wrong, I thought I saw that he "sees" him as a winger instead of has "seen" him. Trying to find the quote. Only found a tweet:

With Schopp and BD he said he sees him as more of a winger going forward

I only heard his interview on Howard Simon
I'll have to check that one out

I hope he changes his mind though

We have some wingers coming...
so I want us to be as strong down the middle as possible
I think Sam's playmaking skills are best suited for him being in the middle

- jdfitz77


Agree. He may be stuck there until the likes of Nylander, Bailey, Baptiste and Fasching are ready, but Botterill didn't seem to be talking in absolutes anyways.

ROR actually had his best season playing on the Left wing...
i believe it was with Duchene and P.A. Parenteau in 2013-2014

Edit: 28g 36a - 64 points

- 22sabresQ


McGinn....Top 6 was

Landy Stastny MacKinnon
ROR Duchene McGinn

I miss those days

Reinhart's skating IMO makes him more of a winger

So you'd move our best defensive center (and only good one) to the wing?
Doesn't make much sense to me

1C- Eichel
2C- O'Reilly
3C- Reinhart

Botterill seems like he thinks it's important to build down the middle
This potentially gives us 3 lines that can score

It's not ideal now, bc we still don't have all of our wingers ready to slot in
But a guy like Ennis gets one more shot at getting his game back together before Bailey, Nylander & Baptiste (and others: Fasching, Pu, etc) surpass him

- jdfitz77


I never said I wanted him to play the wing. I was merely stating that he had his most productive season on the wing.
Ennis sucks Enzo sauce....

I know it's from the last blog, but I gotta call bullpoop.

Because the jets blogger said so? Coyotes and caps blogger says franson is better than ristolainen. does that mean we have a problem in ristolainen?

Dont think ive seen anyone here overvalue alumni in quite some time. players with potential we've given up sure but i dont think anyone misses the roster players that were moved during tank nation.

Edit: Myers salary is somewhere around 3.5 mil for the final 2 years, which would be attractive to a team like the jets.

You say that because if you said Tanner you'd get laughed out of the room.

That's usually how it happens.

It's not a permanent fix, but it probably stopped a bunch of people getting (frank)ed.

Thank God, for the moment anyway, I have a Mac.

Well, it's Garth, so it's not exactly the best place to go for semantical answers.

Thats exactly my point though and why i omitted the name. What exactly makes a title from a Tessier blog any more valid than one from Tanner?

it's bizzare that theyd let this happen to the NHS and just 10x worse that they basically stumbled upon a solution.

Seriously what are they doing over there.

I don't think they "let" it happen. It's a worm, it kind of goes where it wants/is able to. And it makes total sense that an organization that runs out of date hardware would be hit hard. If you run Windows and updated it since March you're fine. It's not some unstoppable thing.

How's he gonna react to that though?
I'd rather just get Gorges off the roster & move on
I don't think the Sabres would play a rookie & bench a Vet like Gorges
If he's here, I think Guhle is in Rochester
Falk is likely our 7th

- jdfitz77


Quite frankly, who cares how Gorges reacts.

If he throws a fit, pouts, moans, and groans, his butt can be sent down to Rochester.

I am not paying him for two years when there is absolutely no reason just to get him off the team.

His play the past year + has shown he is a replacement level player on defense at best.

You do not make plans around a player like that, and this new GM is supposedly very bright, meaning he should know that.

let me rephrase, we dont take tanner or wilsons views on ristolainen being but we should take tessiers on myers being bad (and thats not really what he was trying to say either).

Just figured they'd be a little more protected from something like this.

Ok, that's more fair, and TBH I didn't read the article and neither do I know what kind of blogger he is, so I can't really say. But let's be honest Myers hasn't exactly lit it up since the trade and he played, what? 11 games this year?

Nah, they're using versions of and operating system that are no longer supported by Microsoft, who warns of this exact problem.

Guilty. Literally was Google searching "Botterill on Reinhart" and that came up. Didn't want to listen through the presser again.
