Cernak is dirty, Gerbe is awesome. Discuss these and other things below!

They should suspend Cernak like they did with Wilson to give him a wake up call... 20 games plus
DoPS needs their own wake up call first.
Seem like the place to call to offer Sheary or Vesey.
How did we get stuck with two consecutive absolutely trash GMs?

For all the people wrapped up in trying to create Okposo off the team... that's a first, a good prospect, and 25% retention for another year only to get an injury prone but good winger.
That's a disgustingly good deal by Boston. Why do them of all teams have to be the most competent org in the league?
Yet I still think Boston gets off lightly.
They shouldn't really be in a position to get a guy like Kase back even with the retention imo.
They've lost seven games in a row.Man, Columbus has been humming along, too. I wonder if they're peaking too early and will come back down in the playoffs. That injury puts him right around the start of the playoffs for a return. I could totally see them picking up some schlub for 8-10 weeks and leaving them off of the playoff roster.
Kase is a possession guy who is RFA after next year and would immediately have been the Sabres 2nd best RW behind Reinhart. I get that Backes with retention for a first, but the rest of the deal seems like something we would have wanted/needed in Buffalo. If Kase medically is good enough for the Bruins, he certainly would be good enough for Buffalo.
Botterill has painted himself into an interesting corner. He can't take the sort of high-risk gambles that could actually be serious value adds (like Kase returning to previous pre-injury form) without the stigma of all of his other whiffs immediately calling his moves into question. So it'll be some sort of safe, steady, old school move that isn't actually a needle-mover.
