Confirmed with Link: Jason Botterill Hired As General Manager -- MOD WARNING #1851

[Sabresfansince1980]

Ryan Miller coming back!!!

 

[Chainshot]

High tempo, puck possession game. From his mouth to God's ears, make it so.

 

[Jame]

the league thrives on centerman.... yessireeeeeeeee

 

[Chainshot]

Glad he's not publicly limiting himself regarding coaching candidates.

 

[Reddawg]

Rochester getting included in every sentence

I'm loving everything I'm hearing. Two strong organizations, making the playoffs year in and year out. Yes please.

Total departure from the years of the Amerks only existing to serve Buffalo's needs and being largely ignored otherwise.

 

[ek93]

Seems nervous but I like every word coming out of his mouth.

 

[Jame]

High tempo, puck possession game. From his mouth to God's ears, make it so.

 

[Deevo]

The facebook stream is much better.

Up-tempo, puck possession, high intensity, north south... YEP

 

[Husko]

Best thing about the team is high end centers. League thrives on center play.

Not. Trading. Reinhart.

 

[Icicle]

up tempo, puck possession, north south game

didn't know that was a thing anymore!

 

[Paxon]

Gotta love everything he's said so far

 

[vcv]

He's saying the right stuff so far. Let's see if he follows throw.

 

[Gabrielor]

**** yeah.

Centerman...defensemen....rochester...up tempo....

He's hitting all the right things.

 

[1972]

Im pumped for him, he knows hockey.

 

[CatsforReinhart]

"That connects strongly with players and staff around him"

That really makes me feel good about the hire.

 

[jBuds]

I love when a guy starts to talk hockey, and players, and style, and immediately sounds natural and smart and informed. The root of what it takes seems to be in his bailiwick. Hope he can get it done and get us there.

 

[MayDayMayDay]

Up tempo, puck possession, North South. Yes please.

Holy smokes, his demeanor. I can see how he might have blown Terry away in his interviews.

 

[Icicle]

wants a coach by the draft

 

[CrankyJay]

So when does TBN come in and ruin the good vibes here?

 

[Sabresfansince1980]

Best thing about the team is high end centers. League thrives on center play.

Not. Trading. Reinhart.

Until he says how he likes our RWs...like Okposo and Reinhart...

 

[jBuds]

He's hinting at that development of those bottom six plug and play guys and guys on cheap rookie contracts or low deals that can impact. Love.

 

[Husko]

Sounds like "slow rebuild" talk

 

[Deevo]

Sounds like "slow rebuild" talk

Wouldn't worry about it. Pretty sure he just didn't want to Rex Ryan it and promise playoffs.

 

[Chainshot]

He's hinting at that development of those bottom six plug and play guys and guys on cheap rookie contracts or low deals that can impact. Love.

Yep, he's saying the right things.

 

[boots electric]

Sounds like "slow rebuild" talk

you need to try pretty hard to walk away from that response with "slow rebuild" as your takeaway
