I wonder what the master negotiator could get us for super sniper Tage Thompson? Armstrong some how got ROR for him and his negotiating skills are dwarfed by the genius with an MBA from Michigan who single handedly brought all those cups to Pittsburgh.

ROR for Super Sniper Tage Thompson. That is better than Christian Ruutu for Hasek. How can anyone not be impressed by Botts? It has to be awesome not having expectations at your job and being praised for not doing poop.

Yeah that straight up trade of TT for ROR was nasty! We got hosed on that 1 for 1!!

Does Super Sniper Tage Thompson remind you of anyone? He kinda reminds me of Andreychuk if Andreychuk (frank)in sucked at scoring goals. (frank)in goon.

It was Ruutu and futures to Winnipeg for Stephane Beauregard, then Stephane Beauregard and futures to Chicago for Hasek, which turned into Stephane Beauregard to Winnipeg for Ruutu.

Do you like Rasmus Dahlin, Casey Mittelstadt, and Jeff Skinner ? Or do you boo every time they touch the ice ? As you’re typing are you sitting at home with your Rochester Americans Alex Nylander sweater ? GMTM set us back 5 years but Botts might get it turned around after 2 depending on what happens this offseason.

We should be looking to trade these guys:

McCabe, Sheary, Sobotka, Blow-U, Nylander, Hutton

Hutton to EDM

McCabe to WPG

Sheary to ANA

Blow-U to LA

Nylander to OTT

Sobotka to FLA

Coming back IDGAF but it's pretty obvious who we should be targeting on those teams. We add in each trade to get what we want.

Not sure what has been reported since, but I saw that it wasn't concussion related. That he was a game time decision vs NJ and that he made the trip. What has changed?

Wouldn't mind keeping McCabe. Given the lack of value Nylander carries, I'd hold onto him as well. I understand you'd add to him to get a piece back of value, but I doubt he moves the needle too much. I'd rather wait and see with him.

Can we give Marner more than Eichel?
- jdfitz77



yeah I think you can.... always make them equal down the road. Especially if you go to jack before you offer sheet him and say here's what we are doing, we want to get you someone to help take the load off you but we are going to have to do X to do it.

I don't believe for a sec that botts would do this but I would give it some serious thought.

The way Housley handled the follow up on it made me think its not good.... just a feeling though. Nothing more.

Think it’s time he has a hard look at his life post hockey. This could be 3 seasons in a row do to brain issuesand 4 out of five season with head injuries. He almost lost an eye to.

Anyone wanting to trade/offersheet Point should think long and hard.

The guy they should want to poach is Marner.

I'd prefer Aho, but agreed on Marner.

thanks, doesn't sound good, hopefully nothing too serious. Don't like him on the sabres but I also don't want anything serious to be wrong with him.

Id prefer Rantenen if we are really nitpicking but out of all the teams Toronto and Winnipeg are the most ripe for the picking.

Like deadhead said... may be time for him to really think about hockey going forward... the head injuries, the break down, his play has obviously been affected.
