Would have been a far better return. Wonder what the plus Botts was asking for that was on the Phoenix GMs video
- SDSabre

Pick up the bonus and he would have gotten a better return, as much on the owners as Botts.

Which means running an ice rink...which is I do for a living

But I am certainly not qualified to be the GM of a professional sports team

What rink?

this is cause for celebration

I always figured you would be a guy who supported someone burning down someone else's business

Troll 2 for today

They could have hired a dolphin in a top hat to be GM and I'd still be excited Botterill is gone
- jcragcrumple

Dan Marino?

How about you go one (frank)ing day without practically begging this franchise to trade their best player?

Do you flog yourself when you do something bad? Ffs.

Cut the "woe is Jack" crap. You're truly unbearable.
- Powerslave

What's the point of having jack if the franchise does nothing to help him ?

The things they're doing right now are just making us look like Ottawa

So deal was ROR for Domi, and if Buf picks up the bonus Buf gets a better deal obviously. I’mjust curious (I know you don’t know, and the only ones that do are Botts and the AZ GM) what that plus was.

Excited to see where this goes. Not jumping to conclusions.

It's a situation where I'm very excited.

I can dream again. Perhaps this means we acquire good forwards, not bargain bin misfits. Perhaps we will be larry-less to start the new year. Hope has returned

What rink?
- Buffalo--Sabres

For Adams? He was the GM of the Harbor Center

For me I run a two sheet rink in Orlando

Think it was Connor Garland, he was highly rated prospect at the time.

I agree. It is a waste of breath arguing the merits of Adams. We are now entrenched in the Peglua Lifestyle era, and have to take things for what they are related to that.

The one thing I know 100% is that Botterill was bad. He is now gone. This is good news!

God I hate how cheap this organization is sometimes

GMTMs contract has 2 weeks left

Well Botts really should have grown a pair and told them how much they were (frank)ing up the potential return, and should have never taken the St. Louis deal as it was.

Bunch of Jerks at it again

This is hilarious though

This. Botts chose the players in the return.

Should of forgone picks and tried for one stud prospect instead

fans were happy when:

--ruff was relieved of his misery as sabres coach
--darcy was fired
--garden gloves was fired
--Nolan came back
--LaFontaine came aboard (and were quizzical as to why he left)
--Murray was hired
--tank-one (2014)
--tank-two (2105)
--Nolan was fired
--Bylsma was hired
--Murray was fired
--Bylsma was fired
--Botts was hired
--Housley was hired
--Russ Brandon resigned
--Housley was fired
--Ralph was hired
--Botts was fired


there are three constants:

--the pegulas ownership
--no hockey ops president as a go-between
--three rookie gm's in a row

there's no joy in mudville

100000000%

One thing that doesn't get mentioned much is that Adams did spend time as a players agent for a while when he first retired. Not sure there are too many GMs that have experience from that perspective.

If there isn't a president of hockey ops hired in the next week or so this just proves that the Pegulas just want power and have no idea what they are doing

sabres are the biggest joke in the NHL


not because they fired Botts, but because of what they did once they fired him

Kym is the real GM
