Thread: My hot take on the Sabres and Botterill in description box
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>corsiagainst</b></div><div>Botterill has made some great moves, sure. He is also entering his 3rd season behind the helm; in a league where it has been proven it only takes 1-2 years to turn around a franchise.

How can you preach patience? His teams have finished 26th, 30th, 27th. The team hasn't made the playoffs in 8 years. As fans, we deserve better. "The process" and "patience" is team propaganda put out to make sure fans continue to buy into a franchise and spend their hard earned money on a team that has consistently over promised and under delivered.

What's wrong with wanting/ demanding more?

And lastly I'll say this...its not about what moves Botterill has made, its about the moves he hasn't made. Getting rid of players such as Girgensons, Okposo, Sobotka (who's actually on the 2nd line to start the year LOL) are simple moves that improve the makeup of the team simply by subtracting them. Bury them in the minors, ship them to Russia, I don't really care. The team did it with Moulson, and they should do it again.</div></div>

It's not a great time to want to dump 5 million dollar players for a 7th. And when they have multiple years like okposo, you are probably looking at either adding something pretty nice, or taking back an equally terrible contract and hoping you can make it work. One of the op's points was adding a second to okposo for the expansion draft. I don't think that flies. We probably have a name d that will be exposed, and after Mcphee took Vegas to the cup, nobody wants your warts for a second.

Thread: Could this work
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>rootferdukes</b></div><div>Why does everyone on here think that Winnipeg wants to sell so low on Ehlers? He had a down year last year but was still a great driver of play at 5v5, and they have him for the next 6 years at a good value. I know they have to clear cap to resign Connor and Laine, but I doubt they'd move him for Ristolainen if he is the best player they're getting back.</div></div>

It is not that we expect WPG to sell low on Ehlers.... what we are looking at is that WPG has to sign a few players that will cost some serious coin..... in addition they lack RHD. WPG has just over 17 million of Cap space.... Laine &amp; Connor will probably cost more than 17 million a year..... then they have to address RHD....... so.....

Thread: Year before legit contention NYR Trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Spanky227</b></div><div>rangers won't accept it-- the 1st is nice but it's the only enticing piece here..

Risto and Shatty are almost an even swap as neither plays defense
Strome is much better that Zeggy
Andersson is much better than Malone

Like i said the 1st is nice, but I'd still rather have andersson and strome right now than a post 28 pick</div></div>

Risto is not even with Shattenkirk. If youre saying Risto doesnt play d, youve never watched him. Risto lead the team in blocked shots and hits (nearly double the next closest player). Housley got fired because nobody understood his defensive system. Risto (and the entire Sabres D) was victimized due to the forwards providing nearly 0 coverage in the defensive zone.
