What moves has Botterill been prevented from making?
- buffalofan19

Hopefully that (frank)in moron is prevented from making any more moves moving forward.

That was a good trade - assuming he signs, it will be a GREAT trade. Even if he doesn't, it was a fun year with Skinner, so that was worth it in my book.

The Sheary deal was pretty decent, and Montour seems like he'll be pretty good. Not qualifying Lehner isn't good, and the ROR trade is bad. Considering the return for Lehner, ROR and Kane is Sobotka, Thompson, Montour, pick 28 and a 2021 2nd, I think there's a lot to be desired there. If Skinner signs, then I will understand the cap space argument more. We'll see what happens. Botterill's track record has been mixed at best to this point, Imho. And no, I'm not a Murray fanboy or a Murray apologist. He wasn't good

I can't blame Botts for that...
I blame Lehner for being a headcase.

Homie and I did say that about her, she has more say then people think.
- SABRES 89

Everyone knows she has say its her team

Did she fire Phil Housley ? No

Did she get ROR moved ? No he did himself

Did she get Kane moved ? Yes because he was filthy pig

Derek Anderson retired after 13 seasons.
After being drafted in the sixth-round in 2005 by the Baltimore Ravens, Anderson received his first shot as a starter with the Browns in 2007, which ended being his best season of his career. Anderson ultimately settled in as a backup quarterback, mostly with the Carolina Panthers, but he spent season No. 13 with the Buffalo Bills last year. Anderson's career ends with 60 touchdown passes and 64 interceptions. As for now, Matt Barkley is Josh Allen's backup in Buffalo.


Thank god

I'm not a Bills fan so I don't give a sh!t what they do so I guess I'll go along with what you say. If it's widely known around the league that the Pegula's interfere and potential coaching candidates ask the ex coach about how they run things, that alone is discouraging. Kim pushed for the ROR and Kane trades and look how that turned out.

They should hire a President of Hockey Ops and just sit on their money in Boca. I have zero faith this ownership group will do anything positive for this hockey team and the fans. It's a (frank)ing cluster (frank). Welcome to the abyss of the hockey world.

In the real world, a candidate with her resume and without ownership control does not get hired as a VP, let alone the President, EVER!

In the real world, a President of her pedigree who announces that, after 8 years on the job, "I am still learning" gets FIRED.

The Pegulas run things in the vacuum that they have created. This vacuum means that Canalside has more money making ventures for them and we all get healthy food choices. What they are missing is creating sports teams who can make a run to a championship!

They are kale eaters in a wing and weck town!

I was pretty done with him, yes. But I thought they'd qualify him

- gerbe75pts

They own the team, they have a say in everything even though Botterill said it was his call, they still knew what was going to happen.

ROR was another story and Kane was not a filthy pig,

You do understand he was basically just a “ “Secret coach “ Hopefully now they can make him A official coach

That's far from established fact.
- jcragcrumple

correct

it was Kim and Terry that wanted RoR gone, not Kim

Homie and I did say that about her, she has more say then people think.
- SABRES 89

And there it is. Thanks 89.

Me and Taco had a bet on this. I thought they would qualify him for sure. You can call it ridiculous all you want. It wasn't the right move
- jcragcrumple

Guy, the dude was in rehab while the Sabres needed goalies.

They had no choice.

I was pretty done with him, yes. But I thought they'd qualify him
- jcragcrumple

We would have to pay him $5 million right ?

I can’t remember but I’m pretty sure half or all the Fanbase would of had pitchforks

correct

it was Kim and Terry that wanted RoR gone, not Kim
- homiedclown

It was ROR who wanted ROR gone, and myself and 89 have said such.

Kim and Terry weren’t paying the guy to not want to be here

She’s not a bad person at all I wish you could spend at least 10 minutes in the room with her to understand how crazy your rumors are
- gerbe75pts

she is also not the right VP for hockey when we have dahlin and eichel


the vp should be a hockey czar not a waitress

And there it is. Thanks 89.
- mhp

It's not really hard to figure out, be an owner and let your Director of Hockey Ops and GM run the team, if we had.

They own the team, they have a say in everything even though Botterill said it was his call, they still knew what was going to happen.

- SABRES 89

Kane was a filthy pig if only you knew

He probably changed his ways now

you mean a waitress can't do the job better then rick dudley?

I know way more then you think I know, so slow your roll on that.

My source told me that part of the interview process is to tie the candidate to rocks and toss them in the canal, if they float they’re a winner and get the job...

- homiedclown

Nah. But whatever

correct

it was Kim and Terry that wanted RoR gone, not Kim
- homiedclown

No offense, but you've changed your tune on this more than someone scrolling through their itunes

First it was ROR's fault, then it was Eichel's, and now we've settled on Kim

Kane was a filthy pig if only you knew

He probably changed his ways now
- gerbe75pts

Was he as bad a catholic as ROR?
Asking for Homie...
