Botteril was the worst GM In NHL history. Lehner will soon win the Conn Smythe and Botteril will look even more incompetent than he already does.

You are not very educated and obviously don’t understand the financial ramifications the NHL teams face without fan attendance. The Pegulas made a huge mistake hiring Botteril but we are fortunate to have them as our owners.

My point is if we don't address goaltending whereby we acquire a legitimate #1 goalie and Ullmark is the backup, than we are sure to be back in the lottery again. Hutton does not belong in the NHL.

What's also worrisome is that Corey Pronman is not that high on UPL as a goaltending prospect as others are. Some people on the board have coronated him the next Hasek. UPL has proven nothing in the AHL. Lets hope he dominates in Rochester this year and there is reason for optimism.

There was an article in the Athletic a few days ago that quoted sources high up in sabres organization that goaltending was not a priority this offseason. 2C was the priority. I hope Adams is not relying on some quack to fix Hutton's "vision" problems. Hutton sucks but they are stuck paying him.

The author of the article lacks credibility. His proposal of a second line of MOJO-Granlund-Skinner is absurd. Skinner is not a RW and MOJO belongs on the 3rd line. I have no interest in Granlund unless we can get him for dirt cheap as I see him as a 3rd line player.

There is no Center on that line. Johansson is a 3LW. Moving him to a position he’s not suited for does him a disservice. If we ever hope to contend we need to play players at their correct positions and slot them appropriately.

Kahun isn’t playing LW. MOJO is more likely to be 3 LW.

Has this rumor ever been proven? I think this has become sabres folklore that is passed on from fan to fan but may not have any validity whatsoever.

How much money are these mods raking in? It must be a ton to put up with this nonsense.

Rutherford is incompetent. There’s not much else to say.

I think they might do the 1st + Kerfoot for Risto and us retaining some salary. Would you do that trade?

I thought was a great trade for Toronto. Now they have some cap space and a first round pick they can use to acquire a RD.

Montreal is going to move either Denault or Domi. They have an excess of Centers. Domi doesn’t want to play wing.

I think it’s quite apparent that Rutherford made another boneheaded trade. Botteril has followed in his footsteps. What a great mentor ?

I'm watching 'Black Sails" now per your rec and really enjoying it. Thanks

Thai is giving up way too much. Your 3rd line as listed would be the worst in the league. Playing Ruuostolainen on the top line is absurd. He will get blown up. This lineup will have us back in the lottery as you have actually reduced the number of top 6 forwards which we were lacking.

ROR was not handed to us GMTM gave up substantial resources to acquire him. We will have to give up significant assets but I think Calgary is planning on overhauling their roster.

Would you trade Carter Hutton for Jake Allen? St Louis would save about 1.5 million on the cap and we get a goalie upgrade.

Clearly Monahan is not as good as ROR. He is a 2C not a 1C. OTOH he’s the best option out there short of Cirelli. If we can get Monahan for #8 Montour and Mittlestadt I’d do it in a heartbeat.

There’s no way we’re getting Monahan without giving up #8 or Sam. Montour and Mitts hold little value.

I really don't like the idea of trading Sam. We have no need for Gadreau, but I would love Monahan as our 2C. I would trade Mitts, Montour and #8 for Monahan.

Did Paraavida say it was Calgary?? What did he say exactly?

and spent over the cap leaving us with a cap penalty. Unbelievable. He should be tar and feathered

Tampa has no interest in anything other than picks and prospects and players on entry level deals. Even so you may be forced to accept a cap dump in return.. They have no interest in Reinhart or Montour. You will need to replace those with Ryan Johnson and Cozens and #8
