‘All fans have seen is Botterill fail to lead a team to an 80-point season in his three years. And so much more: He hired a woefully overmatched coach in Phil Housley and fired him after two seasons. Made one of the worst trades in recent NHL times by dealing Ryan O’Reilly and becoming the first GM in history to trade a player who became the Conn Smythe Trophy winner the next season. Woefully overpaid Jeff Skinner, kept an unbalanced roster with too many defensemen, traded for a $4.3 million version of Michael Frolik that added nothing. And on and on and on.’
