Ok, please have mercy and please don't shoot the messenger.


Botterill is absolutely in no hurry to find a head coach. McLellen was there but they didn't even meet with him after his son's team lost, they never talked. That's why to offer was made.

They won't pay Skinner 9.5 a year and Botterill is in no hurry to sign him. Seems that Skinner is set ( as of now) to test the market.

There will be turnover with the roster, I asked about Risto and was told 60-40 he's moved. Reinhart may not be safe either but he may be a later deal.

Botterill wants the kids to learn and bloom in the AHL and won't rush them, Taylor will stay there to make sure of that.

As far as AV goes, Botterill wanted to see coach team Canada then was going to go from there with an interview, never got the chance as we all know.

Botterill was ready to talk with Boudreau if the Wild cut him loose.

Girgensons is done here and it looks like Larrson is close to it also.

He would consider moving Sheary and McCabe they want to keep.

They want an experienced head coach but will look into Gronberg.

Housley knew a week before he was gone, he listed his condo by the water front and sold just last week.

They want 6K in the AHL and won't rush him, no chance.

He will get a 2nd line center but won't move the 7th pick to do so, he wants to build through the draft, he's big on that.

This team is way to soft and that's gonna change, he wants them hard to play against but also have speed.


And last, this is really big deal with some and i'm gonna catch hell for this but here it goes:


Eichel and ROR had NO ISSUES with each other, ROR wanted out, he didn't want to be here anymore, he didn't want to lose anymore and had enough. He only tried to help Eichel but at times with all the losing, everyone gets pissed off and attitudes change.

Also E; Kane did not want to leave, sorry.

Well that's it for now folks, please keep the insults to a minimum, i'm just trying to pass also some info, some you may have heard about and some you may have not. i'm no insider by any means just want this team to win and succeed like all of us do.

Great info 89, much appreciated.
I’m glad Taylor stays in Roch. But if JB is set on an experienced HC, I don’t think the names will blow anyone here away.

Girgs and Larss gone? Okay. Interested to see who’s brought in for the bottom 6. And I hope Risto is shipped out for more than a couple 30+ year old cap dumps.

Thanks. I don’t think you’ll catch crap about the ROR thing. Most shocking to me is moving Reinhart, though he’d bring back a haul at this point. Other one is Skinner. Sure, he could test the market but I question if Bots still intends to sign him (thinking that no team will off over $9).

Even if he isn’t. The next guy will have the most cap space in the NHL and Eichel and Dahlin to build around. As much gloom and doom as there is around these threads there is light at the end of the tunnel. It’s just a matter of how quick we get to the end of it.

So you get the impression TT would start in Rochester, or is he entitled to a spot with the Sabres?

According to what I was told, he wasn't supposed to be in the NHL this year. Roster turnover next year may dictate other wise.

It’s a good theory. See what other teams offer in the tampering period and then circle around with another offer.

Why would skinner not go to July 1st or like you said -
The tampering period?

Does he think the Sabres are going to spend that $ on a different free agent? He knows the answer is NO
