Two guys many begged to be here from the start of the season.

Yup

Damn Cab... I have heard this developing crap for years... If not now then when? 10 years 20 years? 50 maybe?

- U Sir Name

Agreed. Forgot we still had him

Complain, complain, complain, it never stops here.
- SABRES 89

What exactly are we supposed to be excited about?

Is he going to help skinner? Someone mentioned him being a good PKer. Doing both of those would be helpful

Otherwise its too little too late

Ray .. We still have a decade or so to wait . as long as we see progress forward
- cabin

Sorry Cab but 10 years is not acceptable... Playoffs MUST be made this year and then next year playoffs with a series win.... This is crap right now

Theory ........

Frolik is the sobotka 2nd line replacement and on the PK


The sabres played well with sobotka on the 2nd line.

I am not saying Frolik is good ....but just trying to think what is going on in botts head.

I want a fast uptempo team

You know 1 player isn't gonna make this team better . 1 player might make a line better that helps win a game . Baby steps ?

Stop gap for mittelsta.. I mean cozens, botterill has been reeling since berglund quit

Agreed. Forgot we still had him
- cabin

I wasn't serious.

I really don't believe too much in the whole "rushing a player's development" argument. You either have it or you don't.

He don't.

That’s the thing, the season was over before it started. People are only starting to realize this a few weeks ago.

We didn’t make the move for a 2C. This team was destined to pick in the 10-15 range.

I am not the least bit shocked by anything that has happened the last few months.

Doesn't like to lose players for nothing

Trades Scandella for a 4th and gets a pending FA Frolik.

I wasn't serious.

He don't.

He needed time to adapt . Seen it after a few games . Was lost out there after the grind of the nhl schedule

I would have taken Toffoli over Frolik, and i don't like Toffoli.

Honestly, anyone they have a chance at resigning.

Botts does not like to spend assets.
He is Darcy.

Only issue is, Frolik is not a center.
- ImThatGuy

He isn't going to St Louis either .

One player could make the team better, isnt that the idea of making a trade

I dont think they are terribly far away from being a playoff team. A little depth scoring and a goalie

They traded for an expiring cap dump

I think Dahlin has been awful this season

Then he will always be lost

He literally is Darcy all over again, it's blatantly obvious at this point.

Pegula got his man.
