Drew Stafford ? I see David Pasternak. Boldy is the 200 ft winger with size that we can use on this hockey club. If we take him I’d be very pleased.
- Pegullaville


He has size but he doesn’t use it and with this organization and Having a coaching staff that doesn’t get on players wouldn’t surprise me if he didn’t even reach his true calling.

I’m hoping for Alex so I don’t have to worry that he’ll develop right or Dach those 2 will likely have a C on their chest someday

I have said many times, they are way too hands on

way too involved


ruff and disco sucks are connected with vet coaches


it would not surprise me in the least if this is the case, and I said yesterday if they insist on a vet coach I would not be shocked if 3 or 4 turned them down


they have a bad label as a sports owner, as I have pointed out in the past, it's one thing to say we need to get a future QB, what they do is way beyond what they should be doing

picture Jerry Jones at his worst, and multiply it by 10

- homiedclown


Well if that is the case then this team thanks to ownership is heading down a slippery slope. They need to change their sop when it comes to this team. Stop making trades and meddling in hockey decisions. If good coaches decline, ultimately the HC Botts hires will be a less than inspiring candidate. If they are getting this reputation, why would any UFA come here? I've said before, no big FA's will have any interest in Buffalo. Next season will be a cluster (frank). I see it already.

Exactly ..what coaching staff

I look at all the players on the team and some increase a little but none made huge
Improvements over the years it’s irritating
Ristolainen is a big one he has looked the same since year 3

I'll put 20 on Risto getting traded.
- TheSabresTaco


I'd put twenty on Ristolainen and Reinhart getting traded as part of separate deals.

Nobody is safe on this team besides 9 and 26. And 9 shouldn't be either.

My point is, you don't want to draft a kid based on the failures of a coaching staff that hasn't been hired yet?

Risto is what he is. You can't teach stupid.

Okay so, one of my best friends for a long time is friends with someone who is close with Housley, they went out to lunch within the last couple days, Housley told him that he had 3 coaches call and ask if they would have to answer to Kim and after Phil said what he said they all declined. So apparently we offered 3 coaches. Take it for what it’s worth.

And has done exactly what to contribute to our "winning ways"?

I'll take the high hockey IQ and 25-30 points for a defenseman over low hockey IQ and 40 points every day of the week.

I wouldn’t mind drafting him but this fanbase is Not patient a player like him you can’t rush if you do your looking at another drew Stafford not reaching his calling

After how they handled Casey I want a guy that is safe bet to succeed

I posted before last month or so there was a 60-40 chance he's moved. Tampa called Botterill, it wasn't the other way around. Another team called also and Botterill said no. I think it was Dallas but i'll have to ask again.

Risto playing 4/5 EV strength minutes with heavy o zone start and getting top power play time is his best bet.

Issues is he is making 5+ mil per year. And and that you need more from him.

Pretty much guarantees a top 5 pick

I don’t know what this team wants anymore

I’m ready for playoffs but I’m worried we won’t see them for a Very long time

Calling an early shot.

Risto for Tyler Johnson will happen as main part of a deal.
