I assume you mean Pominville.

Might wanna check Ennis season this past year.

Pominville doubled his production almost

I understand, it was more money though and still 31st place.

I think what that trade showed us was that even a semi-competent D man can’t make Ristolainen a top pairing player

I like FotA22's first power play of Jack, ROR, Sam, Dahlin and Risto. Everyone stays in their place, Dahlin takes Okposo's spot and plays like a rover. Right side half wall just like he was when he skated through the Russians on that highlight they showed a million times during and after the draft. That unit is friggin set.

U know what i meant dude

You’re awfully quick to criticize Botts,
while u keep making excuses for Murray


No... i haven’t been “wowed” by any moves Botts made
But he hasn’t made any big screwups like GMTM (who had many) either

- jdfitz77

Neither of these are true.

Just stop.

Apparently Ennis's contract was so bad, Botts figured he should take on a worse one. Contracts can't be that bad. You claimed we still had room for Tavares and Karlsson. Besides, contracts aren't an excuse for Botts' ineptness of being able to work a trade.

1) we can’t sign UFAs yet... can we?
2) can’t make said UFAs want to come here
*thats not the fault of Botts... heck, it’s actually GMTMs fault
3) 1 real trade was made
*its not like there was 12 & Botts just didn’t want to do anything


Murray sh!t the bed
Plain & simple

That u keep defending him is a joke
An utter joke

I think they will play Olofsson at Left Wing in both the AHL & NHL given that he is a Left Shot and our current weakness at Left Wing. Playing him on the Right Wing just makes no sense. We need as many Left Wingers as we can get.

I believe he’s been playing RW in Sweden
Guess we will find out though

- homiedclown


Was it bc of the Okposo signing though?
I’m assuming it was bc of a variety of other things:
-overpayments in trades
-blowing assets
-ignoring defense in the draft
-Rochester being a mess
-lack of improvement in the Sabres
-pr stuff
-etc, etc, etc

Paying him 5mil would be a mistake
Love the player
I’ve been talking about him for a couple years now

I don’t exactly think it would be a Brian Bickell type situation,
but 5mil is too much for a guy who tops out at 20 goals (if even that)

I’d try to trade for him,
but i bet the Caps find a way to squeeze him & others in

If they’d trade him for something reasonable...

I’d gladly pay him 3mil or so
If he’s good enough to play top line wing on the Caps, he can here too
And he plays a style where he can move up & down the lines too

Makes sense they’d at least give him a shot there since we are so weak on that side

He's a LW and plays RW on the PP, no surprise there.

Nice
With his shot, could be a potential weapon across from Jack on the PP
