Why was he a UFA again, I forget.

It's true.

Those are wheel-spinning trades.

What's the point? To "shake things up"?

Like I said, if the threat of missing the playoffs can't wake these guys up, then a trade for a 3rd liner that we'll all be b!tching about because "he sucks" or "he's a bum" doesn't do ANYTHING for this team.

And do *you* really think anyone wanted our trash?

The most common result of a wheel spinning is forward motion.

If there’s a way to improve the team, I’d do it. If that means 7 more goals a year, I take it. And yes, I know we have assets that are tradeable.

Two guys named Jack and Rasmus as well. Eliminate Pominville and hunwick and we are probably icing the youngest roster in the league if not very close. Lots of room for improvement. I still think Mittelstadt is going to be a stud.

I agree with your comment on Mitts. I like Mitts a lot and I think this year has been a great learning experience for him. He'll be very good next year.

Sabres Hockeybuzz, its more bipolar than a psych ward.

Some days I think I prefer the psych ward.

Well Skinner is second in goals
- homiedclown

Skinner aside, that was a great move. I think Skinner wanted to play here. He grew up just across the boarder and it was here or TO. I believe once TO landed Tavares, JBotts knew he had a shot

It's not doom and gloom

Just gonna take 2 more years

After next season Botts is in control of the roster

Minus Okposo

I agree, it just sucks to always have to wait 2 more years. I still will preach Eichels consistent effort on both sides of the ice will make the difference moving forward

Did anyone happen to catch the Eichel interview this morning or have a copy?

After last night Okposo might be done done.

I don't know how anyone can watch that and not cringe. Especially his family. Are they really gonna let this guy destroy any chance of a normal life after hockey? It's actually disturbing. I really don't care about cap hits or any of that. Get that guy off the ice. Jesus.

I love the heart but not smart at all. I hope he is ok for his family’s sake
