Read somewhere Ryan Johansen might be on the block


I'd kick the tires on it
Say Casey, Borgen, Bogo (cap purpose) and a pick


he would solve the center position long term, move cozens to the wing next summer

And if he cracks 70 points that will be another first for the kid, how many people would be disappointed with Sam for that kind of production ?

Rumored that Gaudreau is being heavily criticized. There's an article from the Athletic in Calgary saying it may be time to move Gaudreau.

insane

they have scoring issues

so move one of the few players that can score

The injury bug came at the perfect time for Jason.
He can continue to sit on his hands, hoping someone calls for Girgs or Larson to offer a 7th in 2029.
It also allows him to justify the continued slide by pointing to a depleted roster, depleted of all those difference makers.

Botts had a whole offseason to do something.

He decided to not buy or trade for 2 line RW or Center.

He decided it's best to have Girgs and Lockport Larry back more than a second line scoring.

- mattsox


He decided? Maybe there wasn't a deal available or the other team was asking for too much? And, if too much in asset went out, this whole board would explode and a black hole would form collapsing the universe as we know it.

As much as I do not like him on the opposing teams, I would like him on mine.

There seems to be some vilified players, so Botts should strike while teams are slumping.

I think that's because the Sabres didn't get the better player...

it's like trying to hook up with te high school sweetheart that dumped you for the starting qb, when she reaches out to you 25 years later after 2 divorces

This is always a disappointment in the end, but it can be very wild short term.

I just don’t get how u can go on with this??

ROR proved he could be a big part of winning the Cup
He literally did everything you (and many others) said he couldn’t

We should have been looking to build with him
Not ship him off

And if this is me being a douche, then sorry
But it’s not even debatable any more

- jdfitz77

What I think now may have been the case with ROR is timing. GMJB’s playoff window apparently starts sometime in the mid-to-late 2020s. And he will be at the tail end of his career by then.

If I recall, the purpose of this exercise was to pick who they thought the Sabres would draft, and not should.

Fact remains, Leon Draisaitl is a better hockey player than Sam Reinhart, and it's really not even close. Obviously, though, hindsight is 20/20.

I love the "hindsight" that people knew Drats was going to be better than Sam. Not one single person on this planet knew he'd be a 100 point forward. Not one. And no one thought Bennett would be this useless.

crazy negative fans because no playoff series wins in 13 years


and posters saying other posters will not be missed when dead


then again if we win the cup in 6 games, people will b!tch because they did not win it in 4 or 5 games

I saw a new Blog with Sabres logo, so started reading it.
Got to this part and thought, what the hell is Pach smoking?

Botterill has multiple trade irons in the fire. The time is appropriate for Botterill to trade a defenseman or two for a top six and a bottom six forward.

Prior to the injury insect biting Buffalo on the ass, Botterill was dealing from a position of strength with his NHL GM peers calling him regularly to try to convince Botterill to trade away a defenseman.


If only this were true, lol. I stopped reading there.

Sorry Pach for questing your integrity
