That Putz is probably just doing a courtesy interview while stopping at One Bills Drive to pick up his suite tickets for the Bills game tomorrow.

A "tall" task.
- TheSabresTaco


Not to mention that the story that was told that prompted the little tirade said that the guy was gutting the dear. Last I checked, if you are a (frank) face that kills something and leaves it there (And I'll grant him that some people do do that, and in that case are bumholes) you don't waste your time gutting a dear to use the meat. But what do I know, I'm prolly just some backwards redneck who doesn't actually hunt but isn't about to let someone talk poop about something he clearly knows absolutely nothing about.

And if you or anyone was surprised by this, shame on you.

We all know it's about next summer.

They WILL take steps forward this year. An actual defensive structure will go a long way. A couple REALLY nice additions on the back end. A couple solid additions up front in Johansson and Vesey will help our secondary scoring. Not to mention, Johansson is a master at zone entries.

This team WILL play hard for Ralph. That's a guarantee.

What else is do you expect the guy to say on live radio - "we are trading Risto before the season starts but we are just waiting to see how things shake out with regards to other teams RFA's, spending caps etc"? They will be making more moves because they literally have to - they are over the cap ceiling.

Ralph didn't coach every year so you are a liar.

I can’t understand how you can trust casey on the 2nd line at this moment in 2 years
Yes ..

Hopefully they trade fir a center if not that might be the reason why we fail this season

It could have been about this summer, but we have to wait for the 10 guys to go UFA - nine of which Botterill signed, traded for or extended himself

Then stop saying it.

What do you want me to tell you?

Go have a hissy fit, then. That'll fix it.

He's got to get these contracts off the books. That takes another year.

No one is forcing you to.

The UFA crop this summer was underwhelming. And the guys that were worth signing already had their sights set on 1 market and 1 market only. If his sights were set on this summer, this team never becomes a cup contender.

And the top UFAs are going to sign in Buffalo next summer?

Why?

Also, UFA sucks every year.
It’s old players who want top dollar but will
Play like 2 mil players.

What's your point?

He had to fill out the roster, refill the cupboards, build a team for the long haul while putting a team on the ice for the short haul. Every team has undesirable players/contracts.

Let me guess, in your world, we just wave our Harry Potter wands and poof! Everything fixed?
