‘Vladimir Sobotka did not want to be in Buffalo last season and took very little if no responsibility for his poor play. One solution would be to loan Sobotka to a team in Europe. Botterill said, “I would say that maybe he wasn’t a happy player, but none of our players were very happy at the end of the season, we didn’t have a successful second half of the season and our mindset with Vlad is he’s coming in and he’s part of our group and we have a new head coach that’s going to put players in different roles and you’re going to see at the start of training camp and through the six preseason games a lot of different lineups and a lot players in different roles.”’
