Hes a franking moron who has no ability to think on his feet because he is such a franking moron. If anything good comes out of his moves (which hasn't yet), it is completely out of happenstance. He has no clue. I'll take GMTM all day. He would've been able to rebuild the cluster frank this franking putz created at least 2 times over by now. Just like any GM worth his weight in salt.

Nothing is worse than reading takes from someone claiming to be an insider use the emoji and claim to know that GMTM operated like he knew he wouldn't be fired. Listen to GMTM's last presser and get back to me if you think he didn't think he could be fired when he told everyone in the room he might not come back after his trip to Florida. poop canned for not firing Bylsma. Biggest blunder in history of Sabres existence. Set the org back at least 20 years. Such a Raw Deal.

Yeah you keep believing that

I've typed and deleted a rant twice.

(frank) it. Here's the gist:

The 2 forward lines that work, Ralph's favorite pair and the starting goalie were handed to him. 11/23 players arent his.

Before anyone blames Murray for that, I know all of the excuses. I dont give a poop. Make something that works after 3 years.

It's just madness. Madness

I said he was on the hot seat after his first season with disco sucks

If team was not in playoff contention he was a goner

He had no answers as to why the sabres sucked and rochester sucked


Botts might get 1 more year

Might

If any of us were a fly on the wall during Botts interview to get the GM job, we would be able to judge him better.
Im assuming it was something like...."your AHL team is a barren landscape with nothing coming up the pipeline. You have a young budding star who hasn't matured. A guy who wants to be the man that you traded everything for that doesn't actually want to be the man and then Mr. NBA of the NHL over there staring at your daughters ass.
....oh. AND Hudson Fashing. So we got that going for us. Which is nice.
It ain't going to be a quick rebuild, Terry and Kim. Im going to struggle to fill this roster with NHL capable players for years."
And then of course, he gets told to trade "ass starer/underprivledged mom fvcker" and "man that isnt the man," before his bonus kicks in.
So now, they guys that the last GM traded all the picks and prospects are gone.
....and we have budding superstar, rear seat on the tandem bicycle and a tire flipper to show for it. WWGMTM do?

Hi Mike:

Welcome aboard! Look forward to reading your blogs.

So can we run these top 2 lines when dudes come back from injury:

Skinner - Jack - anyone

Olofsson - Mojo - Skunk

I think this is a good idea. May be even trying Skunk at C.
He was drafted at that position and it seems to just be an afterthought at this point rather than an expectation. Not sure why people are expecting Mitts or Cozens to hold that job down next year over Sam.

Oh I don’t know, maybe not trade a Conn Smythe Selke winner for Super Sniper Tage Thompson? Woulda been nice to have a GM with some cashews to stand up for himself and convince the owner its a bad idea, which no way in hell I believe he had to do, it was that dumbass’s own doing. Now we’re really F’d. GMs be lining up for the job when GMTM be fired, happy to stay unemployed when Botterill is, which will be never anyway.

Duffer said we haven’t won in Dallas in 11 years.

That is ........ not good.

When your manager tells you to ask the customer if he would like to super size the meal and you refuse, enjoy the unemployment line.

Jason, what is your plan to get the boys into the playoffs?
Well Terry, Kim; I'm working on a deal to bring Michael Frolik, and...
Jason, is that the guy who plays center you want playing with Jeff?
Well no, he...
Ahh, the other Dman to pair with young Mr Dahlin, then, right?
Well no, he...
So, you're saying you don't actually have a plan then...and you told those sap media guys on WGR the other day you expect the team to challenge for the playoffs?
Well, I mean...this Frolik guy will help with the penalty kill, and can play up on the 4th line too.
Oh boy...Kim, call Mario and ask him what he would do

Gallant: 2.5 seasons. 2 playoff appearances. 1 SCF appearance.

JB: 2.5 seasons. 1 lottery win

Man, we need to adjust our standards badly
- jcragcrumple

I think the standard here is pretty clear... They accept we are a lottery team.

You mean like standing up to the owner and telling him to be patient and not rush a rebuild ?
