remember when he was bringing brought in for one, maybe two years
I thought it was the other way around. Botterill was being groomed to come in, but I was under the impression that JR's success in Pittsburgh is what caused him to stick around in Pittsburgh and pushed Botterill to Buffalo.I think that plan changed when Botterill was poached by Buffalo. If he would still be the assistant GM here, I think this could have been JR's last year as the GM. I think Botterill would have taken over for 2019-2020, after JR's contract expired.
On the flip side, I see this as good news because he will keep an eye out for the term's long-term well-being (until 2022 I suppose).
Dude got us back to back Cups. He can stay until he’s 92 and trading 1sts for Pepperidge farm cookies for all I care.

Seems like an odd time to announce this, the team has lost 6 of 7 and the team looks terrible.
I guess the positive is that it means Guerin won't become the Penguins GM, but I am concerned to see what the Penguins look like in 2022 with another 4 seasons under JR.
Seriously, why would they time it like this?
