They're going nowhere.

Penalties 9/131, 4/20

I think they had a specific play in mind.

Hips aren't low

Bullshi

Punter has to go

White LOL.

Dawkins makes a block and it is 6

I knew that flag would be on us even though when thrown at that spot it's on the offense 100% of the time.

How long should he get? 1000 years? Why only Cozens with the mention? Why not other picks from other years? Where are they other than Dahlin? The point is that assuming guys will want to stick around awaiting Cozens and as yet drafted kids has already been proven wrong by O'Reilly. If Eichel picked up the phone and called Pegula today, we'd be in instant rebuild mode with an inept GM at the helm. He'd get more for Eichel than he did for O'Reilly but he'd get pummeled in that trade too. He is way over his head and is willing to let years tick by without improvement. He will never build a championship team.

Agreed. I'm not sure of the cap status of the team's below, but the rest have either a young QB, established superior vet, or are likely to draft their future QB. Chicago Pats? Steelers Raiders Chargers Titans Colts Jags Wildcards might be Giants. Many of the above are stretches IMO but maybe it is enough of a market.

What year John? What is a reasonable year to expect Botts to assemble a contending NHL team? If you're Eichel can you wait until that year? Is that year before or after the target year for Seattle? He has had some time to build, he has a good coach and his roster is outplayed by teams like Calgary and Vancouver. Joki? Good trade if you ignore their inability to develop Nylander. Johanssen? Nice piece, fills a necessary role. Skinner? Very good goal scorer currently wasting away on a horrible line at big $. Montour? Miller? Ok but how about some O? Vesey for next to nothing sounds like a pretty fair trade. Three years in and still two solid NHL backup goalies. Why didn't you mention the genius signing of Sheary or the insane reliance on Mittlestadt? We're agreed that lurching back and forth isn't a good approach. Is it better than being satisfied with no progress in a decade? It's a joke because Botts is further over his head than a guppy in the Marianas Trench. A new GM doesn't have to blow things up if he sees a path. He has to be a lot lot lot better than Botts.

How about not staking the future on guys like Sheary and Vesey? I realize that some of the cap stuff was created with Murray but how can a roster so horrible and which includes a lot of guys on their first contract be near the cap if the GM is competent? The real question is what are the goals for the 19-20 team and what season does the GM project to be the first in cup contention? It seems his goal is about 2026-27 and that is simply bad management. Why not just trade the whole roster to Seattle and we'll be the expansion team? Oh, right. Seattle would turn that down. Botts fails to take into account that the players are people and not robots. The weak minded O'Reilly already ran out of town after crying. Botts got piles of crap in return. Part of that was from lack of proper evaluation and part was due to letting the on ice situation stay in an abysmal state for too long, lowering the value of his asset. Eichel clearly is stronger mentally than O'Reilly but how many more seasons like this can he take? 5?, 3?, 1? There are16 teams in the east and 8 make the playoffs. How many years should Eichel expect it to take?

You can't appropriate that phrase. It's what Bob says when he is super stoned and wants another hit.

Bama takes the spot?

LSU running back and Singletary sharing duty would look reeeeeeeal good to me.

Does your definition of sooner match John's? Like 2026?

Eichel yelling at someone on the bench after the game. Maybe it was a ref just over the boards, but the clock is ticking on him wanting to be here. They have to pull the plug on the GM or it'll be 8 more years of this crap.

6 on 5 was like a 5 on 3.

I sincerely hope that Pegula hired Krueger as his McD who can help him find a Beane. They have to rid themselves of the ineptitude that is Botterill. In some ways he is the opposite of Whaley. Whaley at least tried to get talent although he often overpaid. Bots has the sense of urgency of a Koala bear at nap time. It is hard to believe they trot these guys out there game after game.

Wrt Krugman, is the "in 2016" qualifier really necessary?

Any updates on this?

That's candle pin bowling, not real bowling....Mass hole bowling. 7-10 isn't as tough in fake bowling.

Like Ben Franklin?

Mahomes and Watson were also considered question marks.
