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

[Chainshot]

Talking about having a bigger staff in Pittsburgh. Wonder what that will do here.

 

[Chainshot]

Rochester will have a GM. Finally.

 

[Gabrielor]

Gm for rochester he says. **** yeah, again.

 

[Icicle]

He really seems to take away experience from his career and apply it to his job. Competition for spots in the line-up, what made our last cup run team so successful, is exactly what he likes to be talking about.

 

[Gabrielor]

The way he's talking, I'd seriously expect Guhle to start in rochester.

 

[struckbyaparkedcar]

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.

Between Murray not signing vets and Disco not playing youth, all this depth talk might as well be dirty talk

 

[Icicle]

The way he's talking, I'd seriously expect Guhle to start in rochester.

Yeah but he made it clear with his example that by December he could be a staple in the line-up as well if he's earned it

 

[Reddawg]

Yep, he's saying the right things.

I like how affable he is while he's saying them. He doesn't come off as cocky or arrogant in the least. There's a definite air of "this is really cool" about him and you can tell he's excited. I'm happy about that.

 

[TehDoak]

Love love love hearing this talk about Rochester and back to developing players. Something sorely missing from our squad the last 10 years.

 

[Chainshot]

There is the "why did you leave Pittsburgh" question.

 

[CrankyJay]

There is the "why did you leave Pittsburgh" question.

drink!

 

[Chainshot]

So weird to think we used to talk about him on this very board.

 

[LetsDoughBuffalo]

Would it kill somebody to ask about Reinhart?

Centre or Wing!?!?

 

[Gabrielor]

High praises for Jack, and agrees his development isn't over.

 

[LetsDoughBuffalo]

Just mentioned O'Reilly and Eichel...

Please somebody ask him about Sam!

 

[Sabresfansince1980]

OHHHH....

"...craving centermen like O'Reilly and Eichel..."

NO REINHART! Traded for AHL D-man E5!!

 

[ek93]

"The rest of the league is craving centermen like Eichel and O'Reilly."

....and Reinhart, right....?

 

[Rowley Birkin]

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

Not. Trading. Reinhart.

Successful teams also need defence.

I'm quietly pessimistic about this move.. Wish him all the best but buffalo will never be the penguins. Eichel will do well to be mentioned in the same breath as malkin let alone Crosby. Bylsma won a cup there... Let's not try to follow their blueprint.

 

[Paxon]

"in that regards" is definitely going to be a thing

 

[Chainshot]

He is taking the lead on the coaching search -- good.

There is no blueprint

As was mentioned many times. We need to make our own blueprint.

 

[CrankyJay]

Is this Mike Harrington? What a piece of crap. Tilting towards the negative.

 

[TehDoak]

Botterill sends his regards.

 

[Chainshot]

Is this Mike Harrington? What a piece of crap. Tilting towards the negative.

Yep, that was him.
