They clearly needed to outbid some teams, which is hilarious in of itself, but yes I guess warm bodies are better than none.

Like I said, he brought them down. If you value a guy that makes you worse then.. have at it. Just don't be Jason Botterill.

In his 8 game stint, he actually did ok...played horrible his 1st game or 2 , then settled in a d didn't hurt them at all

From what I understand, the out clause is a buyout.

If a team only has to give up money, and they have the cap space, that creates interest compared to having to give up any assets of any kind in addition to the money.

the last straw for pilut, so I was told

was calling him up for a road trip, so he missed the ahl all star game

only to sit in the press box

Miss Management.

The veteran player concept is such trash. How it's not simply a case by case scenario is mind bottling.
- TheSabresTaco

Think you won't see that as much know, especially with the cap situation, teams are gonna have to find ways to save money. Unless these Vets take a lot less money.

Future considerations, like, if Zach scores 50 goals between now and the end of the season, we'll give you a 7th round pick.

In essence, nothing.

Right. Which rounds me back to my first point. Why the (frank) did Jason Botterill think he could trade him.

And especially after coming out and saying he wanted to be traded.

Sabres should’ve just drafted Tk #1 overall. Especially if their putz of a GM was goin to use the rest of the draft on Defencemen. Dahlin is entering bust territory.

Miss Management.
- kingcong39

he has acted like a rookie gm

it's like he is not learning and getting any better


as a life long ahl player, you would think he would know how important that is to a player

it's not like darcy called him up to sit in the presser, darcy let him play in the ahl all star game'

- Hatboro_Swords

I wouldn’t go that far. Not sure if he will be Erik Karlsson but he’s gonna be a top 15 defensemen in the league for a long time.

I would however would of took the trade offer of the #2 pick (Svechnikov) and Noah Hanafin some rumored on here

lol wut?

Cuomo, unrelenting in defending his Order to have Covid-19 positively infected patients sent to Nursing Homes that likely caused 5 800 deaths.
Say what you will about Trump...there is alot there, but nobody is outraged at this?
NYers should be protesting in the streets unrelenting, calling for his resignation. Gross miss management and absolutely horrific judgement.
But he talks nice, right?

Oh I agree with Botts mismanagement, but we haven't properly developed prospects in awhile. It has been going on for a long time.

for the most part this is largely unreported as well. I bet there is a large portion of the public that doesn't even know about it. Not to be all conspiracy theory but anyone who does not see the bias of the media on how they report things like this for republican vs democrat just isn't paying attention

alot of the stuff they screamed for went largely unused, didn't it?

Pretty much glad it didn't get that bad, but total mismanagement of resources, maybe the Sabres should call, they would work good together

you can't spell mismanagement without the word government

Wonder if the Sabres and Coyotes could get together on anything. Surprised to see there cap situation for next year.
