I mean how much worse can this get??
- Sabretooth9

It can get worse. And it might. The record is mediocre and not abysmal as of now.

Also, Jack asking for a trade would be worse.

Purple-hair is a green light

Alright enough of that non sense and time wasting im gonna play video games instead this team is a (frank)ing joke

I like pain. So I'm gonna put the videogames off

Hold up.

Rob Ray just said "It's poked in and then they penetrated."

I. I just can't.

I think Risto who I like and Reinhart can get a very nice piece that other teams might have to worry about and game plan for. Thank you for your call.

WHAT PIECE

Wow.
Didn't think I'd say this so soon but, "that's a heck of a team over there."

big time

Incorrect.

Patty wanted to sign Miller and Ott (not a center) long-term and rebuild on the fly.

GMTM convinced Terry the best course was to blow it up and tank for McDavid.

Terry sided with GMTM and Patty made it easy for him when he took his ball and went home.


Then Terry realized GMTM wasn't a yes-man when he wouldn't fire Bylsma, who at this point was no worse than the gum-chewer and Freddy

All true and nicely detailed. I thought you meant he fired lafontaine then hired gmtm when in reality lafontaine hired the guy who replaced him

If eichel asked for a trade ..... I 100% would understand and not be mad.

Vesey looks ok tonight.

Right, we're on the same page. After Pegula figured out GMTM wasn't a yes-man, he fired him and surrounded himself with people who nod and smile on the outside but punch themselves in the face on the inside.

WHAT PIECE

Those are two players I would offer in a deal. I have no idea who is on the market or could be had for that. That is out of my paygrade

Who wanted Jack to drop'em? There you go.

If that doesn’t fire this team up, nothing will.

All Botts would need would be a 1st, 2nd, two cap dumps and a B prospect.

Wow.

It’s really hard to win in this league. It’s even tougher when you lack of heart. I don’t trust the Bills yet, but at least they have a heart.

Maybe the team wakes up now ???

Okay, Jack just officially won me over and he was gonna wreak that kid until the refs stepped in.

That's my captain.

Nice to see. Now let's see if any of these pansy's will follow him.

- U Sir Name

Correct. Apparently pegula asked him how he planned to fix the situation and he had no answer

I like his way of looking at it. 35'ish million to fill 14 spots is fair too. Just saying 35m of space and then suggesting big signings is misleading. ERod is an interesting RFA to discuss, the rest are near locks to be qualified.
- Lunaion

The point was made in an earlier post, which was the "Dreamers" are looking at next year as a huge opportunity to significantly upgrade the roster through FA's.

Yet, when one mentions that Botts should have done more in FA period this past offseason, it is poo-poo'd because of several reasons, one of which was the astronomical prices for UFAs. Other reasons are nobody wants to sign here (Botts unsuccessfully chased several they claim).

My main point was how do the dreamers rationalize those two conflicting points. $35m sounds like alot, it isn't. Prices are only going up, but they would have you believe all is well cause FA will cure it.

The other poster went into deep details to arrive at the same place.
They may be able to sign one higher-end player for ~$7m, if that.

I don’t have audio right now. How the (frank) was that a goal?

The guy that was offside came back out of the zone before anyone else went in. It was a good call.

- GilPerreault11

There's literally no one good we could get for Reinhart and Ristolainen without adding at least a 1st and possibly another defenseman.

We miiiiight be able to offer Sam, McCabe, Risto, a 1st and then would STILL have to add for someone like Gaudreau, for instance.

Nice to see. Now let's see if any of these pansy's will follow him.
- SabreWest

Good for Jack.
We may have just seen his best leadership tactic to date.
Players only, closed door meeting tomorrow should be next.

And another closed door Meeting with Kim, Terry and Botts

Hm, guess I missed that as the standard, since the puck was carried in with possession.
