I honestly do not know why it's that hard

I agree , good post.

Conspiracy theory? - not playing sam at 2c until after they extend him long term?

Would solve offseason issues.

Maybe krueger doesnt want to mess with their bike built for 2 bond?

The problem is ...... botts is rolling the dice hard on mitts and cozens being those centers. He could lose his job over not assessing the 2C position for the last 2 years.

Botts can trade for a 2C and if those kids pan out. Let them play wing or trade that 2C away.

*Botts is getting fired for playing the long game
*Just trade for a 2c, it's easy
*josh allen had 3 good games for the Bill's

Happy new year, same as the last

Sam does not skate fast enough to drive play at the center position. Our #2 center is not on this team as of right now.

No one ever said it would be easy. It’s not easy, it’s his job. It’s why he makes millions per year.

If it’s too hard for him, then he shouldn’t be in that job.

Yes, to Allen only having 3 good games. Those are facts.

If games like the patriots, Steelers, browns, and the first jets and dolphins games are considered “good games” .... you are being bias or just don’t understand what a real qb should look like.

Also, botts has had the trade rumor mill to tsn and sportsnet guys since October and it’s January 1. If you think botts hasn’t had any offers or anything close to that. You are out of your mind.

Again your judgment is clouded and you are being ignorant

Maybe not, but until that 2C is here why not give it a shot

You would complain about what we had to give up too.

Look what it took to get a disgruntled ror. Both times

It's funny how everyone acts like botts isnt doing his job.

He's not mortgaging the future for now. A 2C isnt going to get us in the playoffs.

Remember what gmtm did? The pegula's remember and arnt making the same mistake of trading picks when were not seriously a contender. Pretty simple

Winning is not a goal, it is a belief," Pegula continued. When asked about the time frame to win a Stanley Cup, he later stated "It's a three-year or less process."

Allen is having one if the best seasons of any current nfl qb. Check the stats and the playoff position.
I just dont get the allen bashing. Hes a 2nd year guy, playing solid football. 3 good games- wake up

Oh, a couple rumor mill guys said something.
You take it as fact.

That says it all.

we need 54 or 55 points in the last 41 games to have a shot to make the playoffs


to put that in perspective
the bruins got 58 points in 41 games going 24-7-10

This is so stupid I don’t know where to even start.

First off, you can not possibly claim to know that a capable 2C from the start of the season would not have made the difference in this team making the playoffs. It’s an unknowable claim and you shouldn’t be making it.

You pretend to know how I would feel about the cost if a move were made earlier in the season or off-season to help this club. I would have been more than happy to trade Montour and a second for a decent center which isn’t unrealistic.

What it took to get ROR is pointless. TM overpaid to facilitate the trades he made and ROR isn’t a comparable to an average 2C.

It’s funny how anyone can defend the job Botts has done. We have the worst morale of any professional sports team with too many players wanting out to even count. This year alone we have three trade demands. Risto wanted out before the season, Berglund retired so he could play in Europe. ROR said playing here ruined his love for the game. Lehner said he was treated like garbage here.

On top of that he has built a soft club filled with heartless players. He has ignored the center position while compiling more defensemen than we can play by a lot. He has mismanaged top prospect in TT and Mitts ignoring their development out of desperation.

If Botts isn’t mortgaging the future to win now then why the hell did he force Tage Thompson and Mittelstadt into positions they weren’t ready for with the big club? All Botts does is talk about proper drafting and development, and then he ignores this with two of our best prospects out of desperation setting back their development and ruining their confidence.

Botts has failed with finding a capable coach. And hasn’t given the coaches the players they need to even try to succeed.

Your take is vomit inducing garbage.

I love watching the winter classic. Too bad the league does such a piss poor job of promoting it.

And, its a nice change to watch hockey when you don’t care who wins. I don’t hate either of these teams.

I went to bed right after the game last night. I was so upset I didn’t even want to drink any more. Stupid Sabres ruined my night! At 4-1 I really thought that game was a turning point for this team. Boy was I wrong.

Happy new year everyone!
