You guys are lucky...At least the Bills have started to figure it out.

I have to deal with being a Sabres fan AND a Jets fan...

Manish Mehta is amazing and poopty all at once.

I don't believe that based on Bogosian getting right back in shortly after he publicly asked out.

Article mentioned Ristolainen, McCabe, and Pilut with the focus being on LHD.

Friedman said this morning on the Instigators that the NJ/Buf talk has cooled at this point. He also said teams don't have an issue with ERod the player, it's more his cap hit as many teams are strapped.

Erod not taking line rushes.

He'll never see the ice again.

They signed Dalton Smith instead of playing Erod. I don't know if that's hilarious or sad.

Back on the super secret tank conspiracy theory again?

I'm trying to keep an open mind.

Why isnt jbotts upgrading this team?

1. No trades available
2. He is content to ride this season out

Why would he be content to ride this season out?

1. They are building for the future still
2. He isnt worried about his job security, he is following the plan?


Open mind - probably not

Does it have to be one or the other?

Also- fantasy hockey, player limits at each position is part of the rules correct? It would benefit teams to scratch a "c" position marginal player and save it for a top player later in the year right?

Thank you

Welp. As I post, Dalton Smith on waivers.

There are no position limits. There are transaction limits, however.

Yeah but what a ride

So either they do 11/7 or play Erod in 12/6. Even when Skinner and/or Thompson return, I'm pretty certain they like Lazar more than Erod.

Yeah but what a ride

Harrington was on the radio this morning, and basically said most teams are standing pat right now because it's so tight.

So he posted it in his 31 thoughts article Tuesday, but now it's changed?

San Jose better figure their poop out because it’s not going to be fun when Ottawa adds two top 10 players from this draft class and Detroit adds a top 4 pick.
- Pegullaville

Sabres were supposed to be so far ahead of the Wings and Sens. They both might pass us at this rate.

So he posted it in his 31 thoughts article Tuesday, but now it's changed?
- kingcong39

Yes. He said something about he checked back with his source after he posted it in his 31 thoughts and got that update. The sense is that NJ wants to wait, see if they will sign Vatanen first.

There are no position limits. There are transaction limits, however.
- TheSabresTaco

So the games played in red doesn't matter?

I've been benching guys to conserve positions

Olofsson named Rookie of the Month.

- Powerslave

Yes, thank you , that makes sense.

He was never looking to make any big trades anyway, I mentioned that before. Why people are looking for that is beyond me.

Why people keep blaming Murray is another head scratcher, he was told by Pegula and Wonder Women to speed things up and he did that.

Botterill got nothing for ROR, NOTHING and NOTHING for Kane but Murray gets most of the blame.

Money isn't an object but now we are dumping salary, he will not eat any money or contracts, no way will he ever do that.

Why is botts not upgrading this team? Especially with the "fear" of losing his job. You mentioned he would/should be fired if they dont achieve a certain points total?

He would/should. Let's see if he will/is

A couple more home stinkers and KBC will be chanting for his head. He could give a contract to Nathan Paetsch and see if that turns it around

Botts could not care less what fans think. And I don’t believe any amount of home-stinkers will cost him his job, this year or the next.
