Kruppstahl Posted January 15, 2020 Report Posted January 15, 2020 No thread here regarding Botterill's visit with Schopp and Bulldog yesterday? He clearly indicated he is looking to make trades NOW and not waiting for the deadline. Sounds like he has trouble getting it done. Could be on his end or the other end. Remember back when Darcy would be criticized for sitting on his hands and doing nothing? Brian Burke then mentioned publicly that you couldn't negotiate or make trades with Darcy because he overvalued his players. Wonder what's going on with Botterill exactly. Quote

Expand I seem to recall that Burke was GM in Van at the time and the consensus was that his statement was likely part of a negotiation ploy. I think that was the year we swapped Kassian for Hodgson.

GASabresIUFAN Posted January 15, 2020 Author Report Posted January 15, 2020 @Kruppstahl Start a trade deadline thread with some polls, such as are we buyers, sellers or both between now and the deadline; odds on adding a legit center; who he moves on from etc... Quote

Expand Thought that Smith was running the ST units. Since Scandella left, the 1st pairing is McCabe Ristolainen followed by a combination of 2 of Jokiharju-Miller-Montour with Larsson-Girgensons and Lazar-Frolik up front.

Expand Sabres are shorthanded at the end of the game but pull the goalie to go 5-on-5. That's where I'd put my money. I feel like that should explain Olofsson too. But back to the point of my original question. The PK has performed slightly better with Ullmark in net, but it doesn't look to be a very meaningful difference. Quote
