" Nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of Jason Botterill" -P.T. Barnum, probably.

If Lindros didn't essentially suffer brain trauma that effectively ended his career after 7 seasons nobody would be arguing that the Flyers lost that trade. People forget just how great he really was, if those injuries didn't happen I absolutely believe the Flyers end up eventually winning a cup.

As the biggest Tage fan on this board I have to point out that the Blues called him up because injuries gave them no other choice and he was so clearly not an NHL player they had to eventually send him down anyways. And then when he came to Buffalo he was also dealing with the additional stress of having just lost his cushy gig as the Toys R Us mascot.

Another rules thing: there was a situation in the OT where Stevens closed his hands on the puck in the crease and it was just a penalty. I have always thought doing that was a penalty shot, not a penalty (The most notable example being game 5 of Isles-Panthers in 2016 where in OT an Isles player got called for it and a penalty shot was awarded but Greiss (Who along with *Redacted* were the reason the Isles won the series) saved it). Was the rule changed since 1994?

Any list of the greatest goalies ever that doesn't have Hasek right at the top isn't worth paying attention to.

And look at their AHL team that is the best in the league, then note they aren't being carried by a bunch of Quadruple A/AHL/Minor League for life guys but actual honest to God legit NHL prospects.

You do realize that if we had taken him our piss poor organization would've bungled his development so bad that instead of being the Hart frontrunner he'd probably be headed back to Europe as an NHL bust right???

When you get the chance to draft a defenseman with no offensive ability whatsoever whose a non entity on a mediocre college team over one of the best goal scorers in all of junior hockey who is carrying a team that should've finished dead last into the playoffs YOU DO IT.

There are literally no decent #2 centers who will even be on the UFA market this summer. In fact this might be the worst UFA crop of the post lockout era.

Ask the Jets and NYCFC how quick and easy it is to get an arena built in the NY Metro area (and the Barclays Center literally took a decade to come to fruition).

Oh you want to do a building analogy? Here's one: The Islanders will have submitted a plan for an arena, have it approved, begun construction and will open it (October 2021) before Botts puts together a team capable of playing meaningful games in March much less make the playoffs.

Don't worry: people are still lining up to buy season tickets and we have a huge waiting list LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!

How can anyone NOT want Botts to be fired the second this game ends? Total ***** clownshow.
