26CornerBlitz Posted March 27, 2018 Author Posted March 27, 2018 3-27: Jason Botterill on WGR (15:46) #Sabres general manager Jason Botterill joins Howard and Jeremy right now on WGR! Tune in: Botterill - we told Casey through the middle half of the season to focus on his game and we'd talk after his college season. He felt he was ready to make the jump and we moved forward with the decision to bring him to Buffalo. #Sabres Botterill - It was a fortunate situation where both of our opinions came together, and we're looking forward to the next six games and looking forward into next season. #Sabres Botterill - he's played in big games where he's played against top-end players. The NHL is a different game, but we're hopeful he can have some success here. It will allow him to grow and have a good summer. #Sabres Botterill - Casey's hockey sense and skill is his best attribute. He's worked on his shot through the season and has improved. He's also extremely competitive in the big games. He checks off a lot of boxes. #Sabres Botterill - we like Casey's versatility. We'll probably start him off at center, but look to put him in some other spots as we go in the last few games here. #Sabres Botterill - I thought a great game in Toronto last night. He used his speed and skill, it's what we're looking for of our elite players. #Sabres Botterill - We're looking forward to having Will Borgen in Rochester. It will accelarate his development process, and we'll have a good look at him during training camp. #Sabres Botterill - I think Nylander's game has improved drastically. He had a rough start to the season, but he's been better with his speed among other aspects. He's worked extremely hard in Rochester. His compete level has improved, and it's been rewarded with more points. #Sabres Botterill - CJ Smith would be probably be in Buffalo if it hadn't have been for his second half injuries. He had a great start to his season in Rochester. #Sabres Botterill - We're excited about Rasmus Asplund and Victor Olofsson in Sweden. Hope to talk to Asplund to see where he's at, and we see Olofsson being in Rochester developing his game here next season. #Sabres Botterill - we know that wherever we end up in the lottery, we are going to get a heck of a player. #Sabres

I just don't see a quick turn around for this slow and sluggish team.

Look at the Leafs they have Kadri, Marner, Mathews, Nylander, Marleau, Van Reimsdyke and a few others that are in double digits in goals We will have Jack, ROR, Sam, and..Okposo. Hopefully our Nylander and Casey can close the gap along with this years top pick. Maybe pick up a free agent? Obviously not by himself, but he is the kickstart they need.

njbuff Posted March 28, 2018 Posted March 28, 2018 Only the Edmonton Oilers can lead a game by 3 goals, yet lose that same game by 4 goals. And only the Edmonton Oilers can have the best player in the sport and yet be so non-competitive. The Edmonton Oilers........... the "Real" Mickey Mouse organization. And yet Edmonton likes to give the team Gretzky originally called a Mickey Mouse organization top forwards for pennies on the dollar (Arnott and Hall).

Still, that is a better method than picking goalies based on tattoos. 1

NJ, assume you looking down at Florida more than up at CBUS, but know that loss would have helped. See Florida has the Sabres 2nd to last day..you may need that game. Looks like the two with the Leafs is going to huge for yall.
