Botterill: "The has to be change and there will be change. We have to look at everything and that means maybe even changing up or core players."



0% chance he isn't talking about ROR, right?

The action plan quote was a decent clap back. I still think he'll stick around, if only cause i don't know how you move that contract.

Core pieces will be moved, and they will be active in free agency. Different tune then what has been said in here the last few days.

Vancouver, MTL, St. Louis, Islanders.

I think he's one of those places next year

Okposo and ROR I think got it the hardest.

"Players with playoff experience have to be better leaders"

Is Okposo even moveable? I kind of doubt it

Trade ROR and replace him with Bozak. Bozak won’t have to move very far, give him a 2-3 year deal at a good number and he can replace ROR’s production.

I compared his numbers to Bozak earlier this year.

Not a big fan, but he could be a stop gap until CM, Asplund take over in those spots

That’s exactly what it is. He could be the 3rd line C here just like he is in Toronto. Be on the 2nd PP.

Asplund, Olofsson, Oglieve, Pu will all be in Rochester next year. Nylander most likely starts the year there barring a good training camp. Bailey and Baptiste are on the Sabres starting day 1 as they are now exposed to waivers of sent down. Smith most likely up as well.

If Zetterberg retires, I could easily see DET wanting O'Reilly

Botts excited about Malone along with the obvious others.

That's pretty cool. Nice to finally see a late round success developing well.

I think he's just saying what everyone wants to hear, but his hands are tied. Even if he wanted to move a lot of these guys, who would take them?
