I think he was referring to berglund. He’s not even an nhler anymore

Too bad.

Too bad.

Huh

Huh

The joke phailed. Bergottland is not a Centre doesn’t have the same ring.

Donato was right up there with Mittelstadt and Svechnikov for the Calder odds this offseason behind Pettersson and Dahlin. He was the Bruins top prospect hence why they only received a 5th round pick in addition. Wild got better long term, Bruins added depth to go for it now.
- Pegullaville

Because he scored 5 goals in his first 4 games or something ridiculous.

He’s been a major disappointment this year.

And he’s 22 years old. Not really a kid

If jbotts does nothing but unload bowl u, it's a top 10 pick headed our way.

Nothing is gonna change from the past 20 games.


Maybe top 5

I listened to Botterill's interview a couple times and I think he knows that they suck. Almost seems like he was planning on it. Specifically mentioned players in spots that they shouldn't be
- mattmoulson

I stopped listening after he praised the coaching staff and almost threw my coffee mug at the wall in my office.

I did that the first time too. Botts seems to be the least fooled person by the 10 game winning streak. I buy the idea that he has a plan.
Still doesn't make this year less disappointing or embarrassing though

Donato is a home town guy? I'm a bit surprised by the trade. Didnt his dad play for the bruins?

I guess they have quite a few young forwards.

Surprised they traded frank varano last year too

Vatrano is a 20 goal scorer this year too. People need to give players a chance to develop. Imagine if the Coyotes didn’t hand us Briere on a silver platter ? Nope, Thompson needs to be a 30 goal guy off the bat or ship him off for anything we can get.

That’s the ironic part of Fitz

Donato’s season is like Thompson’s.

But Donato is gold and Thompson is garbage.

Donato is a decent prospect.

It was a decent trade for both teams

The NHL average age of a top 20 player on a team's roster is 27.5. There are 192 players in the NHL that are younger than 25 and 428 that are older. 22 is still very much a kid.

I'm not talking about how good Donato is or isn't; I'm just refuting the notion that he's "not really a kid".

This board is a wreck.

Tage is a 6 6' prospect with a rocket shot.

The 2018-19 Sabres had a spot for a prospect like him.

Next year he should get another full year or so before we dump him too

How could he sound so surprised by hearing the fans want Housley fired? He doesn't strike me as being savvy enough to have done that intentionally.

Maybe botts thinks housley is a hall of fame guy who played for the Sabres? How could the fans turn so soon?


Some fans including myself, didn't like him as a player growing up. Super soft in a tough nhl age.

Now he coaches super soft. The team is a reflection of his playing days.

He probably checked with the pegulas at the game last night before going on record

My point is it’s not a 19 year old getting sent down

I’m not hard to find. Like 12 bars in walking distance.

Yeah, i just don’t get down that way too often

Them and 8 other teams.

From 98/99-02/03 he played for 9 different teams.

In 98/99 and 01/02 he played for 6 different organization...........

SobOTTka is not a Centre.

I like what u did there 😂😂😂

Is the Sabres culture fixed? Asking for a friend

NO, but the bills seem to have that issue fixed

My dog's turds bring more to hockeybuzz then you

You are so weird

Donato is ok. Has like 6 goals in his last 40 games and has been bumped down BOS lineup.

You didn’t want us to move a 1st for Coyle (which I wouldn’t have done either) but you’ve now convinced yourself he’s so bad that Minnesota just fleeced Boston by getting on of their 4th liners for him
- sbroads24

Where did i say “fleeced” exactly?
Pretty sure i said “NICE”
You just love to twist things into something they aren’t

Also...
Donato is only 22,
and has MORE GOALS than your boy Thompson in HALF the career games
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
So if u like Tage so much,
maybe u shouldn’t be calling Donato a “4th liner”
