Description
If it were up to me, this trade is absolutely a fireable offense. It was bad when they made it, still bad now.

Botterill and Housley have overstayed their welcome. Get Skinner’s name in ink and then walk Botterill out of the building.

Change my mind. And don’t you dare talk about “culture”

Yeah the trade was kinda weird. Everyone complains that hockey players never show any personality in media interviews, ROR did and all of a sudden hes a cancer and bad in the room, because he said he was sick and tired of losing and it isn't fun

I am so sick and tired of this management group, all the way up to ownership, willing to sacrifice talent so they don’t have to deal with any type of malcontent.

It’s the reason the Bills will never go after Antonio Brown, it’s the reason the Sabres traded ROR for f****** nothing. The org is run by a group of conservative assholes who would rather make sure things run “smoothly” than actually take a risk on player

It’s YOUR job to make the team come together and buy in and win games. Mgmt inability to do so, give up, and move the player for nothing speaks to them more than anything.

We’re doomed forever because of it. Looking for a new team, make your best sales pitch.

I actually understand trading him. I never bought that he’s a cancer, but going from stale voices to fresh ones works more often than not in the NHL. The issue with the trade was that he got such an awful return. I still don’t see anything with Tage Thompson (besides the odd snipe from time to time) and Berglund/Sobotka are overpaid 3rd-livers.

You want to fire your gm? So dumb

Your team had 62 points last year. You currently have 63 with 25 games remaining. You also have 3 1st round picks and are only 4 points out of a playoffs spot. Was the trade bad? Who know way too early to tell. What if that first round pick turns out to be an elite talent? Or if the blues miss the playoffs and it turns into a top 10 pick? This is a very stupid and premature post. Sound like you need to relax and drink a beer maybe go to bed.
