He’s been very unimpressive to me. Needs to nail the draft and offseason or this should be his last year.
- Fattony1187


So getting skinner Sheary for pennies? That’s not impressive?

His drafting seems to be doing pretty good so far.

Botts revamped the entire lineup besides big name players like Eichel. Reinhart

Like beaulieu for example was playing get this past year. He demanded to play and then got benched.

How is that botts fault? Pilut not playing over Scandella or Scandella never getting benched.

Those are coaching decisions.

Okposo wasn’t his signing.

Again O’reilly he was forced to make the trade and the blues were the only ones calling.

Housley and how terrible coaching game day decisions killed this team.

Sounds fair to me. I mean he isn't getting 5 or 6 from anyone. Still, he had to battle for every minute of playing time on that Caps team yet still got 25 points. That's not bad considering he averaged 11 minutes, basically playing 4th line minutes.

Burakovsky has gotten chances in the top6 though & could never stick

Doesn’t mean he still can’t become a decent player
I just wouldn’t give up much for him

Just some rumblings on the Draft Floor. Chicago is really high on Kirby Dach. Buffalo loves Spencer Knight which doesn't make sense but that's the buzz. If Broberg gets to Edmonton, they will take him & the PK Subban to Leafs is REALLY heating up. Some I question but we'll see!

Goalie in the 1st round? hmmmmm

Housley was his hire.

“Revamped” the lineup? We sucked last year.

He didn’t have to trade oreilly, he could of waited. And even if he did, he picked the players from St. Louis who are horrible

He didn’t give up too much for skinner but now signed him to a horrible contract.

He needs to nail this year.

We took on over 5 million in that Sheary trade. Wasnt a good trade. Could have kept the pick and signed vanek.

Better stats, less money, no pick lost.

There are a few GMs who love the spotlight but in general yeah.

Any predictions?

I think they'll make a play for one of Henrique/Ghost

long shot: Letang.

31+ a piece for Zucker

He has gotten small samples, but never any very long stretches. He averaged 13m or less his entire career there. Given the wingers on that team it's no surprise.

He'd be middle 6er here day 1 and if he's not qualified, he's a free asset. I'd take that chance.

Sabres open in Pittsburgh


Mitts and 7oa for Malkin

Just a wild guess

YES ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Not at pick 7 though
We’d have to trade up from 31 most likely

If they draft Knight at 31 I am good with that

Subban to the Leafs is hysterical as neither the Leafs or Preds are in a position to take on salary.

They are trying to shed salary not bring more back

Also I don't think that account is legit at all

Might have to trade up to get him.

He was thoroughly unimpressive in the USHL but goaltending evaluation is kinda all over the place at that level.

If we draft Spencer Knight at 7, none of you will ever see me again.

I'll join the TO thread and accept AM as this age's Gretzky.

Scoring is the most important dimension though, and he does it really really well.

Knight won't make it to 31. He's in the teens, maybe low 20s.

It makes some sense if the preds take zaitsev.

The preds want to shed salary so they can get a centre. Kadri+Zaitsev for Subban? The dollars a pretty close

Botts can’t be that dumb that’s like bills logic trade up for a wide receiver or running back Lol
