It’s infuriating this (frank)in loser is still the GM. Totally (frank)ed the team up beyond recognition. He is such a little fraidy cat female dog. His fanboys on here remind me of him.

Yea frank the putz who drafted a franchise d-man, potential franchise goalie, a 2nd line C who was the 3rd best prospect league wide coming into this season, traded nothing for a 40 goal scorer, and has this team in cap heaven by next season. What a loser. The only thing he did that blew up in his face was ROR and even then we have no idea what will come of the first rounder or Tage (who was the Amerks best player in the first round series).

All hail GMTM. I guess the roster he built got us 80% of the way to Dahlin.

Sabres rant over.

Onto the Bills.
A good portion of those on this board in September/ October wanted "McStupid" poop canned along with Beaner. No trust that they would execute solidly in FA and have a solid draft.

The proof will be revealed in August/September, but so far so good.
Tonight will be an opportunity for them to shine.
I'd love to see a couple of moves to get a WR and an OL or TE.
JJ Arcega-Whiteside interests me as a strong red-zone target.

GO Bills

Botts still has a ton of work to do. If he didn't draft Dahlin, he would have been fired. UPL, though promising, is still too far away from being a difference maker. Casey didn't develop where he likely should have (probably the coaching staff to blame, or Berglund leaving and having no back up plan). Skinner deal needs to get done sooner than later. The coach hire needs to happen sooner than later.

There's too many questions for me to label him as an excellent GM, but he's done pretty well in some areas.

Botts didn’t sign any free agents, didn’t make any knee jerk trades, watched the ship sink. He could of spent a boatload of money and made trades to affect our draft position last year.

If he gets the blame for the ship sinking this year why doesn’t he get credit for watching it burn on our way to Dahlin ?

I don't.
Hence why speculate and rumored are the words I used.
I don't pretend to know, cause I don't.
The results seem to uphold the possibility if truth.

Nice thing about Ted black was his fan attention.
Season ticket holders - he would actually answer the phone ext.

A friend if mine, his grandmother was an original season ticket holder. They complained when they built the harbor center where she parked for years.

He called her back and set her up with free parking for life in the ramp.

Nice customer service

That is what I'm thinking as well.
Run on CB's allows them to sit a bit until it starts on WR.
