Why would we? We already know the answer to this question.

It seems as though Botts wants to be fired.

This appears to be a very solid pickup for the Bruins. A "go for it now, and the future" kind of move. Young injury plagued player who looked very offensively talented when playing. One more year before RFA. They also get rid of a remaining year, plus one more, of a bad Backes deal.
The defensive prospect AA seems alright enough, the 1st will be late but there should be someone good enough to grab there. Ducks appear to just want to get rid of Kase, while taking on more dead money. Advantage Bruins.

Not sure if this has been thrown out there but this article suggested a Risto for Trochek deal. I like it. Like it a lot.

Bruins 1st round pick is like a 10th of the value of a Sabres 1st round pick. So.. if you're a poop team, like we are, why are we trading it with Kyle Okposo for a fringe top 6 forward.

While retaining. And shortening his contract.

Okposo might be on a bad contract, but out of the 2016 FA class, he's still like.. the best one.

Please refrain from special olympics-esq jokes.

It's always fun to point out that he's one of our most productive UFA signings of all time, especially when everyone is plotting their UFA signings for the summer.

We didn't make any trades before the deadline because we believe in the guys in the room... We wanted to see where our 100 point center and nobody else would take us.

It's hard to make a trade, those GM's are good over there.

To give up the 2020 Sabre 1st? It better be a HELL of a player. Like, one so good, the Sabres are likely on his no-trade list.
