I like botts...think he's doing a good job...may have missed an opportunity to give the team a lift towards the playoffs, but other than that, he's done well
- Michael Pachla



I completely agree.

Maybe we are just fans? Blinded by homerism?

Would love it...would get Housley canned that's for sure
- Stripes77


No it wouldn't. If the Kings or the Ducks hung 11 on the Sabres then, yeah, sure, but the team that is so far out in front of the league doing it? Not so much. The Lightning have 15 more points than the next closest team. They can lose the rest of their games and they're 99% going to make the playoffs. They're going to score 320 goals probably.

I've actually not watch much of the last three games... maybe a period.... Sucking will do that I suppose. Try to decide if it even worth turning it on tonight, I suspect they will play well but loose still.


Michael what happened to Nathan Beaulieu I thought he was playing pretty well at the beginning of the year?????? It seems he is just in the dog house for something.

- gordong


You have quite a negative opinion on everything lately.

But you haven't watched the last 3 games?

Seems odd for a sabres fan to not watch the game, but rip jbotts all week in a hockey forum?

Imagine that, a GM helping his team win during the season.... and not mortgaging the future!!!!
Meanwhile in buffalo... crickets...

Tanking for a top 10 pick and doing nothing to salvage the season is helping the future

Why Botts doesnā€™t get credit for finishing in last, and not making panic moves to ā€œsalvageā€ the season, to select Dahlin beats me. In my eyes without a patient Botts we donā€™t have Dahlin or Mittelstadt. Sheary, Sobotka, Hunwick, Beaulieu should be gone hopefully by next season and were short term low risk moves that didnā€™t pan out, oh well. Letā€™s see what he does with a boatload of cap space and three first rounders before we burn him at the stake.

Do you need assigned spots when there's 15,000 empty seats?

99% of the mess Murray left us is off the books after next season

all is good, team just folded after the 10 game streak and botts did nothing


my only complaint, he is holding the kids back in rochester and icing crap that could be replaced with hope

- rapperray


Most of that said talent is already on the team ? Eichel, Reinhart, Dahlin, Mittelstadt, Risto. We franked up Nylander and Murray couldnā€™t hit on rounds 2-6 to save his life and thatā€™s why he got the boot. Olofsson, Asplund, Borgen, Dougherty could very well be key cogs on this roster in a year or two. Other then that the pipeline is now dry but can be plentiful again with the amount of picks we have the next couple of years. Also donā€™t discount Laaksonen, UPL, Pekar, Samuelsson, Davidsson.

Itā€™s not Botts fault what Murray did

Itā€™s not Murrayā€™s fault what Darcy did

Murray tried to make up for Darcyā€™s impatience

Botts isnā€™t trying to repeat the same mistakes
