Then you don’t trade him. His contract still has what 4 more years left? The whole league laughs at botts for that trade. He’s the GM responsibility falls on him. - Fattony1187
You’re missing the part of “I’m not paying his roster bonus”.
That means I want him off my team.......period. |

-total of 129 forwards were selected out of 217 players chosen in the CHL for the draft in 2019
-Total of 118 forwards were selected out of 217 players chosen in the CHL for the draft in 2018
Total of 117 forwards were selected out of 217 players chosen in the CHL for the draft in 2017
Yes ignoring the league that produces the most players in the NHL is a great idea
- gerbe75pts
ANd how many of those players from the CHL that made it by the team they were drafted by drafted after the 2nd round?

Curious to know what prospects from Darcy came up from 2014-2017 and were productive I’m trying to think of our team and can’t think of many |

The actual statement was that the price to acquire O'Reilly went up if the Sabres paid the bonus.
The Blues didn't want to pay the higher acquisition cost, so they paid the bonus instead.
It's a subtle but important distinction |

Okay, but we still control their rights until they are 27 when they are signed.
As I said, it might help cost control them, since we dont need to sign them as quickly but see mittelstadt and poor management.
Not all, but almost all players of any value sign before they lose their rights. I can think of more Euro and NCAA players becoming UFAs than CHL players. - Mentalorgasm5
You can only have 50 contracts on the books
Once they're signed you control their rights until 27
Most of those NCAA and Euros developed better than the older CHL players that weren't signed. It's why you see an influx of undrafted college and European players entering the league, some players are late bloomers |

From what I heard it was “if your gonna trade him, do it now before I shell out the bonus”. Botts could of just said no, I’m not trading him. OR should of traded him the previous year when he wasn’t up against a deadline. A lot of GMs have to deal with owners, Darcy had to deal with an internal cap etc... it’s part of the gig. To give botts carte Blanche on a bad trade is rediculous |

Yep but Terry really wanted zero to do with paying the bonus in the end.
People need to stop blaming Botts for an ownership choice.

This is such a bad argument. Botts took Mittelstadt over Robert Thomas and Henri Jokiharju - Mentalorgasm5
I think Robert Thomas will be a fantastic player in the NHL. The Blues got terrific value. I think long term Mittelstadt will be the better player and will justify the selection at 8. I’m not worried about his production after year one. If Mittelstadt repeats the season he just had then I’ll be worried. |

People don’t realize how hands on the Pegulas are.
It’s an issue and both franchises suffer and will continue to suffer for it. |

I don't subscribe to that view. We'll never know the other actual offers in full. Botterill hitched his wagon to Berglund playing 2C and that didn't happen. There's no grand coup. It's just a bad trade by Botterill |

🙄🙄. I know. I keep hearing though that Botts has a garbage prospect pool to work with and it’s all Murray’s fault that Botts isn’t a great GM.
I was curious to know that prospects Darcy left Murray. All his guys should of been up during 2014-2017 (Murray’s tenure). |

Have you heard anything yet regarding FA/Trade ?
Guess it may be too early for that at this point. |
