No. He pretty much learned while he was AGM in Pittsburgh since 2009, and salary cap manager since 2007.
- Powerslave



He was also the GM of Wiles Barre in his time there.

If your happy with this dumpster fire, then so be it. I am tired of it.

Not happy. But I see progress for the first time in years, and passion for the first time in the better part of a decade

Bott's is a first time GM. Ownership needs to give him a person that can help make decisions. They are having him learn on the job and that is setting him up for failure.
- c1067


How though. How are you certain that he can't do the job? How can one prove he needs the council of a veteran GM? He very well could, and does, with Randy Sexton.

You oughta read this.

Yes.

He's more than qualified to run a team.

If people don't agree w the decisions he makes, that's another thing.

Redirecting your rage at Hockey Is For All is really not the way to do it.
- TheSabresTaco

I think your missing my point. I used the "Hockey is for everyone as an example. They have many gimmick nights. Just get this team going in the right direction.

Doesn't ownership have any blame in this? Where is their leadership?
- c1067

ownership needs to stay out of it...they hired their management team and they need to let them work things out...nothing worse than a meddling owner

There is zero acceptance of losing here. That is a massive change.

This, I agree with. It's not a swing of the wand, it takes work, luck and time. Unfortunately, we need to all accept that.

nice interview with the blues beat writer on home ice


nothing but praise for ror

ror told the gm after the trade, he was ready to win a cup

beat writer went on to say that every one of ror's linemates were playing much better hockey with him


maybe he got ran out of town a year too early?

And you missed his point. It's league mandated. Nothing to do with the Sabres

Glass half-full comment - at least it was an entertaining game and post-game media scrum. I would rather lose 6-5 with 39 shots on goal and a couple of 2 goal come backs than win 1-0. But that's me. Reinhart's passes were unbelievable and Skinner is the finisher that the team has been looking for for years. Botts just needs to ink him and get rid of some of our trash and we'll be fine.

Stay away from the Peace Arch bridge folks!

think pats fans hated winning a "dull" superbowl 13-3 and would have preferred the prior seasons awesome, high-scoring loss?

Sat at a table.

Orders food

Gets food in the normal amount of time but we got super busy after they sat and ordered. Decides to order takeout after they eat, pissed off that she can’t get it before the other tables orders. Steals bf’s truck, leaves him at the bar.

Real piece of work.

- Michael Pachla

So they have a president of Hockey Operations? They have a top flight scouting department? If they did they wouldn't be picking top 5 every year. I'm willing to give Bott's time, because he is cleaning up GMTM's mess, but Ownership has had this team since 2011 and it has been a dumpster fire ever since.
