Building culture the one Buffalo way. What, are we now up to 4 trade requests in 12 months! Way to build a room! But according to @JohnC , Botts is doing a bang up job at building the program!

 

 

F all these little to no talent whining bastards! If anyone wanted your sorry lack of skills, you’d have been gone by now. Ungrateful pricks, the lot of them!

100% disagree. Bogo, STFU..i agree. But the criminal stocking of D is on the GM, and the inability to trade anyone is cause of the glut. Everyone knows he HAS to trade a D Man, why give him what he wants. He has rent to pay or he getting evicted, i don't care that painting is worth is $1000, i will give you $200 today so you can stay in your house.Its also why we have one of our top 4 D Men, who is 24, wasting away in the A. Criminal what he has done with this roster in the last 18 months.

 

And bringing in a goon tonight and sitting Erod I would be pissed as well, especially in a contract year. You want grit, go get an NHL level grit player..you know, maybe for one of your precious D men and throw in a pick. Stop watching another season circle the drain

 

Think of @snafu post the other day, he is sick of looking at prospects at lottery odds, as am I, as is the rest of the fan base. 

 

Actually saw a post today suggesting the Pegulas are pulling a Major League so they can sell the team gracefully and concentrate on the Bills, that is the level of frustration this GM is generating in the fanbase

If they can get $200 for a $1000 painting, what is 20% of ERod's value?  A bag of used pucks with Flyers logos?

 

Is it worrying anyone that Eichel's best friend Bogo and college buddy Erod both want out?

 

Botts ineptitude and stagnation is epic.

I understand where you’re coming from regarding JBotts. 
 

But that has nothing to do with a player’s decision to act professionally or not. Requesting trades because you don’t like how you’re being used, ESPECIALLY when you’ve done NOTHING to earn being used more, is bullcrap. ERod, Miller, Bogo et al, need to understand that they are on THIS team and in THIS circumstance and it’s ENTIRELY on them to accept their roles and not complain in the meantime. 
 

Attitude is ALWAYS a personal decision.

What an aggravating loss. They blew a 3 goal lead and let Tampa score 4 unanswered goals. This team is so damn fragile sometimes. 

 

This could have been a big win as win as far as the playoff race, with Florida losing tonight and Montreal currently losing with a few mins left in the game. We could have made up some ground. But, nope. I know I’m just kidding myself about the playoffs anyway. They aren’t making it this year, so whatever.

I agree with that but the quantity of these things reflects on somebody.  That somebody is likely the GM.

Insert Jim Mora clip here.

They are done. They won’t recover from this loss. We saw the same weak minded group we’ve seen under Bylsma and Housley. This group has now quit on Krueger. Nice.

It's premature to suggest they have quit on Ralph.

 

I do agree they're done however, if that means they won't make the playoffs this year.

 

The players who have been around through much of the tanking and are still here should have been moved a while ago, but they really need to go now.  Reinhart is at the top of that list.  Most of them don't have any trade value though, so it's tough.

 

Botterill needs to be fired before he can do more damage; I wouldn't trust him to move assets at this stage of the game.

 

I've been wondering for a long time now when Botterill goes.  I fear he'll be here for the full season and quite possibly into next as well.

But they still managed to pressure the Bolts. They just couldn't score. Baby steps, I suppose. But I'd love to know what Botts plan is/was supposed to be. Did he paint himself into a corner?

Botts plan is to wait for the next Fla/Cal/Tex road trip and to get in 36.

 

It's Jan. 1.  Is the draft lottery simulator up yet?

The Sabres have dampened my enthusiasm big time. Former season ticket at the Aud. I go way back. I couldn’t tell you anything statistically about the current players. When football was over I really concentrated on the Sabres. not anymore.
