10-4: JASON BOTTERILL ON WGR (14:17)
#Sabres GM Jason Botterill joins Schopp and the Bulldog right now on WGR! Tune in:
Botterill - We've come to see that Jack shows a level of professionalism and respect
Botterill- The way Jack handled himself in the media showed his professionalism, he was going to focus on himself anyway
Botterill- To get a deal done of this magnitude there has to be compromise on both sides
Botterill- It was very cordial on both sides, we kept the dialog going over summer, thought everyone handled it extremely well
Botterill- There was never a situation where the two were intertwined with the long term contract, and the captaincy
Botterill- We'll announce an assistant captain group here tomorrow, we don't need Jack to take over our room
Botterill- One of the best things we have going in our sport right now is the parity of our league, interested to see how we match up
Botterill- When Guentzel was holding the cup over his head, I don't think anyone was asking why he didn't make the team to start the season
Botterill- I'm looking forward to a packed Key Bank Center tomorrow, just the atmosphere of playing against the Habs, get things going
